what is the term for a charged atom?
ion
an ion propulsion system is a type of engine that generates thrust by the means of electron bombardment or the acceleration of ions. by shooting high-energy electrons to a propellant atom (neutrally charge), it removes electrons from the propellant atom and this results the propellant atom becoming a positively charged atom. the positively charged ions are guided to pass through positively charged grids that contains thousands of precise aligned holes are running at high voltages. then, the aligned positively charged ions accelerates through a negative charged accelerator grid that further increases the speed of the ions up to 90,000 mph. the momentum of these positively charged ions provides the thrust to propel the spacecraft forward. the advantage of having this kind of propulsion is that it is incredibly efficient in maintaining constant velocity, which is needed for deep-space travel. however, the amount of thrust produced is extremely low and that it needs a lot of electrical power to operate.

the final fight will be between the captains atom and the monarch. sensing this, the now-vampiric bat uses the teleporter (built by blue beetle and powered by breach) to send breach to scour the multiverse for more captains atoms. he then takes the other two captains down to help him rescue the survivors. breach assembles a team of his many counterparts including earth-13's brigadier atom, earth-22's "kingdom come", earth-4's charlton comics captain atom, earth-30's soviet atom, a doctor manhattan-lookalike, president atom, the robotic quantum mechanix, quantum boy, captain addama, a hulked out "attum", and many others. the bat and the two captains are confronted by monarch and his army of soldiers. monarch shares that he had planted the teleporter for earth-33's ted kord to assemble (although monarch seemingly mistakenly refers to him as a native of earth-6) to give the group false hope. monarch also reveals that breach had been working for him all along and was in fact new earth's breach, who had survived the "infinite crisis" and been brainwashed by monarch. monarch then proceeds to destroy the bat and the captains atom adding their powers to his own. saving earth-4's captain atom for last, monarch simultaneously laments that he sacrificed his morality for the cause of defeating the monitors and taunts atom with the fact that since they are essentially the same man, a spark of monarch's personality exists even within him. breach betrays monarch by giving earth-31 superman the fully charged teleporter device to save the heroes out of monarch's holding cell. monarch kills breach for his betrayal while admitting that he was planning to kill him anyway.
