Tagline: "Up and at 'em, Atom Ant!"
Plot summary: In the beginning, there were funny animals. Animals who enjoyed hijinx. Animals possessing a problem with authority. They delighted in mischief, they railed against authority, and they wore ties but no shirts. Later, there were superheroes. Men of honor, and of light, who existed so that thirty years later a cash money millionaire could market a shoe by saying their names over and over.
But between the funny animals and the B-B-B-Birdmen, there was Atom Ant. Atom was a crimefighting insect who walked on two legs. In fact, he only had two legs, and two arms, which is one of the poorer jobs we've seen of personifying an insect. I mean, ants are supposed to have like six legs, right? They could've at least explained it away by saying his other two legs are tied behind his back under his shirt, so he can better pass with the white folks. Though presumably being a centimeter tall and having a secret hideout inside an ant hill wasn't going to help his chances of finding a sugar daddy at the quadroon ball. (more)
User Comments: I don't get you, Atom Ant. I mean, you don't drink, don't smoke, what do you do? And furthermore, remember when you were all punk and did songs about the beatings of guests? Then, what, you see like one Gary Numan video, hit up your sister's blush stick and suddenly the Ants have to run around on stage like the chorus boys from a Gilbert and Sullivan production? It's sad really. The way you look you'll qualify for next year's old age pension.
Also, "Atom Ant" is what they used to make Wolverine's skeleton.
