But, the only birthday we have on record in comics for Ray is when he was de-aged and leading the Teen Titans!

But at least he got to hang out with the (not all totally classic) JLA later that day.
Say, can you spot Ray Palmer at the wedding of Jean Loring and Ray Palmer...oh, yeah, that's prob'bly gonna be pretty easy.

oh man, so much baggage
ReplyDeleteI have fond memories of geeking out over that spread in JLA #157 — always cool to see the heroes in their civilian identities together. What I don't get is why if Jean had just found out about Ray's Atom identity she already had Diana Prince, Linda Danvers, Shiera Hall, and Dinah Lance as such close friends they were her bridesmaids. Ray doesn't have any groomsmen that we can see, and it's kind-of hilarious to imagine that has some random schmoes standing up for him — literally out of the picture — instead of the World's Greatest Superheroes.
