* UnintentionallySympathetic: Pre-''Identity Crisis'' Jean Loring's relationship with Ray, which includes two mental breakdowns. Ray's idea of revealing his secret identity to her is to do so the day before their wedding night, while also admitting he's been secretly helping her career in the hopes she'd marry him afterward. Jean calls him out on this and runs off, but the next day her 'bridesmaids' (who are actually all superheroines, a fact Jean is also in the dark on) put on the pressure that Jean should forgive Ray anyhow, even as Jean points out the severe lack of trust Ray's actions show.

However, [[https://www.cbr.com/atom-ryan-choi-creator-gail-simone-grant-morrison/ Gail Simone has clarified]] that the character is entirely her creation, as she didn't read Morrison's story ideas.

* ValuesDissonance: The degree to which Al Pratt was bullied about his short stature in UsefulNotes/TheGoldenAgeOfComicBooks is a little less understandable these days. In in UsefulNotes/TheSilverAgeOfComicBooks, Jean Loring's refusal to marry Ray Palmer until she'd gotten a good start on her career was intended to be an unusual romantic obstacle at the time of publication but makes her a rather normal career woman in today's terms. (Of course, the stated reason Jean wants to have a career first is because she anticipates that she'll quit to StayInTheKitchen once she's actually married.)
