After spending over a week with little rest and food, Ray Palmer had completed the exosuit and gave it a test through Starling City. After Ra's al Ghul had the League of Assassins begin impersonating The Arrow, Ray made it his mission to bring him to justice. He used the suit at the scene of a crime that the Arrow had seemingly committed, with eight dead bodies surrounding him. He used the x-ray and facial recognition software built in to the suit to identify him as Oliver Queen. They later fought, with Ray easily overpowering the Arrow. However, he realized the suit's power source was located in the leg and so threw a flechette at it, reducing Ray to his knees, before he assured of their being on the same side. After The Arrow was seemingly locked up in prison, Oliver Queen was forced to go to Ray for help to take on a meta-human, Jake Simmons. Ray tried to incapacitate him, but the plasma shots fired from his suit were simply absorbed by the man.

When the team traveled to the Old West in the year 1874, the Legends discovered a large amount of dwarf star ore, which Ray then said he could use to recreate his Exosuit. He completed it sometime before the Legends were called back to 2016 by Barry Allen to help Team Flash and Team Arrow fight off an alien invasion. This new suit was identical to the original but included a black visor to better conceal his identity. He showed it to Cisco, who said that he would help Ray update the suit as soon as the Dominators were defeated.
Functions
- Flight: The suit contains high powered propulsion jets on the back, shoulders, upper arms, and in the legs, allowing the wearer to fly with great speed. The wearer can also perform aerodynamic feats with ease, as well as simply hover.
- Enhanced durability: The suit can resist several forms of damage, such as bullets or arrows. It can be caught in explosions and not have a scratch on it, such as when he faced off against a jet. getting hit with a missile and being able to stand back up after crash landing.
- Enhanced strength : The A.T.O.M. can somewhat increase its user's strength. When in motion, especially when it land hard after flight, it exerts great physical force, as much as a bullet, allowing it to give great damage to something as strong as concrete, easily creating large craters in concrete grounding when landing on it too hard.
- Energy blasts : The suit's primary offensive function is a direct energy weapon on each forearm that creates blasts of focused blue energy. These energy blasts are powerful enough to crack stone, dent metal and physically repel a target, while they also are capable of knocking a target unconscious, and causes small explosion on impact with a harder and thicker surface.
- Electricity projection : The suit is equipped with gloves that project arcs of high voltage electricity via the fingertips. The electricity is capable of sending a target backwards and is not lethal, though it may be able to harness higher voltage for lethal attacks.
- High-spectrum portable radiograph : The suit has an in-built high-spectrum radiograph, essentially allowing Ray x-ray vision through objects or scan objects at all angles, even the most obscure or microscopic.
- Advanced computer system : The suit's computer systems are capable of scanning objects and identifying in seconds, even if the object is obscured. These systems can create a near three dimensional image of whatever it sees and can uses to this to render a scanned object and other information surrounding it within its advanced heads-up-display (HUD).
- Voice recognition : The A.TO.M. suit can recognize and execute Ray's commands, like activation of the suit, projecting energy blasts, reducing the power of said energy blasts and calculating the target. However, Ray's voice needs to be clear and cannot me muffled.
- Advanced facial recognition software : Felicity Smoak built the suit to make use of facial recognition, regardless of how vague or hidden it is, meaning it is capable of scanning any target and making a nearly instantaneous match to the subject. Neural link : A new addition to Ray's suit allows anyone wearing a special headset to control the
- A.T.O.M. suit. This can be used by Palmer in the A.T.O.M. suit, for ease of use, or from an external source to control the suit from afar.
- Size alteration :
- Size changing beam : It is revealed that Ray has designed a red energy beam on his arm that can shift an objects mass. Such as shrinking down an Nth metal meteorite primed to detonate and reduce its subsequent explosion to a tiny and harmless burst.
- Growing : By properly charging the A.T.O.M suit with enough advanced energy, such as from the Waverider's auxiliary time drive, it can reverse the polarity of the dwarf star matrix, allowing the wearer to grow to gigantic sizes while proportionately increasing their strength as well.
- Shrinking : By utilizing nanites similar to those used to shrink Palmer's blood clot in his brain, the suit is able to shrink the space between atoms, even keeping the subject shrunken down after removing the suit.
- Space survival: The A.T.O.M. suit contains an oxygen supply to allow the wearer to survive in the vacuum of space. The suit's visor also extends to completely cover the wearer's face, keeping the oxygen contained.
- Ionic energy focusing: It is revealed that Ray can focus the ionic energy of the suit into objects, such as a sword.
