Here, he helps Barry Allen / The Flash deal with a villain using a swarm of cybernetic bees to attack those who ruined her career . He works with Cisco to fix some bugs in the suit and states in the end that the solution was "to go smaller", a veiled reference to the powers of his comic book counterpart, and forms a friendship with Cisco out of their shared interest in mechanics . Ray also shares Cisco's love for naming super-villains; he and Cisco both come up with "Bug - Eyed Bandit", and Cisco approves of Ray's naming another metahuman "Deathbolt" (Arrow, "Broken Arrow"). Ray is briefly mentioned in the season's penultimate episode, "Rogue Air"; when Oliver helps Barry fight Eobard Thawne / Reverse - Flash, he shoots him with an arrow that delivers "nanites...courtesy of Ray Palmer" which temporarily disables Eobard's speed . </Li> <Li> Routh reprises his role as Ray in the spin - off series Legends of Tomorrow as part of the main cast . <Ul> <Li> In the first season he is recruited by time - traveler Rip Hunter to help him defeat Vandal Savage across the timeline . Ray accepts the offer as he is attracted by the thought of giving his current life meaning after seeing the waste he believes his former life to have been, although his enthusiasm and optimism still occasionally overrides his lack of practical experience . Ray / Atom's suit now has the ability to shrink, and he later uses the suit's technology to grow to giantic size to defeat a similarly gigantic robot ("Leviathan"). He also begins a flirtatious friendship with Kendra Saunders, which develops into a romantic relationship and ultimately an engagement . However, when another reincarnation of Carter Hall is located, Ray ends the relationship amicably, knowing that Kendra is meant to be with Carter . Ray also forms something of a bond with Mick Rory / Heat Wave, who nicknames Ray "haircut", despite being polar opposites in personality . Mick denies any connection between them, but he has protected Ray on occasion and the two work well together, as when they take out the 1958 version of Savage and destroy his meteor before its effects can destroy time . </Li> <Li> Ray returns in the second season, still acting as a member of the Legends . During time in 1942, Ray modifies a Super-Serum provided to the Nazis by Eobard Thawne to save the team's new ally Nate Heywood from his hemophilia, giving Nate the ability to turn into a metallic skinned state . His suit is destroyed during a trip to feudal Japan when it is stolen by a ruthless local warrior, but Mick Rory gives Ray the cold gun that used to belong to the now - deceased Leonard Snart so that he can still act as a hero . When the team travel to Colorado in 1874, Ray revealed to the team that his suit was powered with dwarf stars, Ray got some of it to rebuild his suit . In the crossover episode "Invasion!", Ray notes that Supergirl looks a lot like his cousin, which is a reference to Routh's portrayal of Superman . In the episode Moonshot he walks on the moon . </Li> </Ul> </Li> </Ul> <Li> Ray Palmer first appears as a recurring character in Arrow . <Ul> <Li> In season 3 Ray is a brilliant scientist (with a 140 I.Q. and 4 PhDs) and the CEO of Palmer Technologies (formerly Queen Consolidated, rebranded after Ray purchases it from receivership).
