His first appearance was in Showcase #34 in October, 1961. Throughout the years he’s had team affiliations with the Teen Titans, S.H.A.D.E. and the Justice League. His abilities include being able to shrink or grow both his body and other objects including to a subatomic level and can manipulate his weight as well.
