“The Mighty Atom would not show himself as a creature of dumb strength, but as one who sought a higher spiritual and physical plane. He would do this humbly, as much by fasting as by eating, more with brain than with biceps. The whole would be more than the sum of its parts. By performing these superhuman deeds he would prove that this life-force existed, that there is no such thing as a little man, and nothing is impossible.”
