  1. Characters whose identity includes the word "Atom:" Al, Ryan, Ray, and Nathaniel
    Original JLA-ers: Barry, Clark, Jay, Hal
    Original JSA-ers: Alan, Jay, Ted, Kent
    Legacy heroes (in the JSA ?): Max, Michael, Katar, Scott

    The last one is a total guess as to what the theme is - Michael Holt (Mr Terrific), Max(ine) Hunkel (Cyclone), Katar Hol (Hawkman), but I can't figure out "Scott"

    2. Ugh, used "Jay" twice while editing. And was wrong all over the place anyway

      Al, Adam, Ray, Ryan - The Atom(s)
      Alan, Jay, Clark, Kent - Original JSA
      Max, Michael, Scott, Ted - JLI
      Barry, Hal, Nathaniel, Katar - ??

    3. >> Al, Adam, Ray, Ryan (One away)

      Whew! So let me ask you — too hard? Sufficiently difficult? Categories work? Categories didn't work?

      Thanks for playing!

    6. As the only player this week, I feel I must chime in. I enjoyed this round and thought there were just enough "I have 5 for the category I perceive here" to make me have to suss out which made more sense (obviously, it took a few iterations). Clark being golden age when we also had a silver age group wax vexing for me since I was looking for more specific categories (e.g. JSA founders).

      As a matter of process, I really thought I had a good cosmic riff going with Hal Jordan, Scott Free, Adam Strange, and Adam Blake, then of course I realized that was too many Adams and ended up removing both of them as I regrouped.
