The adventures contained herein also feature a variety of styles, each coming from the pen (or word processor, as the case may be) of a different author. These range from the whimsical antics of the Atom's would-be nemesis, Strobe, in Joe Pecsenyicki's tale, to the cold, calculated planning of Deathstroke the Terminator in the story by William Tracy.
