Realizing Ryan is using his right hand to communicate and manifest partially, Ray sacrifices his own left hand, which Barracuda severs at the wrist. Ray urges Ryan to use the mass of the severed limb to form a new body.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list .5in;\"\u003eThe Return of Ryan Choi: Ryan does just that, forming a new body for himself. He then shrinks down and enters Barracuda's body, effectively neutralizing the Extremist and winning the battle.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list .5in;\"\u003eThe Final Confrontation: Later, Ray is in a hospital bed recovering when Deathstroke, who had been quietly living in Metropolis during the domed year, arrives to finish the job and kill the original Atom. Ryan, who knew Slade would be unable to resist killing a weakened target, leaps out of the Atom's belt, and together they fight the assassin.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list .5in;\"\u003eJustice and Restoration: The two Atoms manage to defeat Deathstroke by wrapping the shrink-belt around his and Ray's hands. They activate the belt, which \"redistributes\" mass, restoring Ray's severed hand to normal while leaving Deathstroke with two tiny, unusable baby hands. The issue ends with Ray introducing Ryan to his friend Maria and offering him a job at their physics lab, as they plan to continue working together as a team. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BattleBuddyComics.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47911794311268,"sku":"BN516","price":2.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0728\/7606\/4868\/files\/IMG_2026_02_15_15_23_00_174.jpg?v=1771190656","url":"https:\/\/battlebuddycomics.com\/products\/convergence-the-atom-2-2015-vf-nm","provider":"BattleBuddyComics.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
