Atom Smasher is a pivotal member of the Justice Society, though those unfamiliar with him from the comics will surely think he looks like a cross between Deadpool and Ant-Man.

After all, his body suit looks suspiciously similar to the Merc with a Mouth's - something that could've easily been avoided by hewing closer to his traditional comic book outfit.

And then there's the fact that his primary power is to control his molecular structure in order to embiggen himself, which is of course one of Ant-Man's defining traits as Giant Man.

All in all you can't really blame those who've never heard of Atom Smasher before for seeing him as anything more than a cheeky knock-off of two incredibly iconic superheroes.
