Atom of Ernest Rutherford, bombarded a metal foil with alpha particles to observe how they scattered. They expected all the alpha particles to pass straight through with little deflection, because Thomson's model said that the charges in the atom are so diffuse that their electric fields could not affect the alpha particles much. However, Geiger and Marsden spotted alpha particles being deflected by angles greater than 90°, which was supposed to be impossible according to Thomson's model. To explain this, Rutherford proposed that the positive charge of the atom is concentrated in a tiny nucleus at the center of the atom.
Captain Atom which returns Captain Atom to his usual self (if somewhat confused). In 2005/2006, Captain Atom appears in a nine-part limited series entitled "Captain Atom: Armageddon" under DC's Wildstorm imprint. Captain Atom's sacrifice in "Superman/Batman" sends him to the WildStorm universe for the duration of the series. In this title, he wears a yellow/red outfit that was first seen in the 1996 "Kingdom Come" limited series. At the moment of his apparent death, Captain Atom experiences a time-shift coinciding with his 2005 appearance in "Superman/Batman", resulting in his arrival in the Wildstorm Universe. He quickly gets into a fight with an
