1* ExecutiveMeddling: Monarch. Period.
2* WhatCouldHaveBeen: Of the DependingOnTheArtist variety. The original Charlton Comics Captain Atom, Allen Adam, was originally supposed to wear a blue-purple suit with his hair turning red in superhero mode, as can be seen at the end of his origin issue. By his second appearance, he had switched over to the yellow-orange-red suit with silver-white hair in superhero mode (while retaining brown hair in his civilian mode, which intentionally or not made him look like the Silver Age ComicBook/GreenLantern Hal Jordan), which in turn would be replaced by another red/blue/silver armed costume while retaining the white/silver hair.
3** Per ExecutiveMeddling, Atom was intended to be one of DC's eminent [[FallenHero fallen heroes]], BigBad Monarch. Unfortunately, the original storyline where this was intended got rewritten at the last minute. Subsequent attempts in the aftermath of ComicBook/InfiniteCrisis and ComicBook/CountdownToFinalCrisis were similarly muddled.
