Teen Team attacks the aliens, who were fighting with superior technology than they were. Eve was able to drive many of them back, but had something thrown to her face which covered it. Mark deflected beams thrown at him by cannons and was taken out by a kind of glue which didn't let him move. Robot tells the team that the Flaxans seemed to have used their time wisely.

But when Atom Eve started getting hurt badly Invincible pushed back fiercely with some kind of inner Viltrum strength. Omni-Man arrives and starts defending the city, resisting all the attacks thrown at him and sending the enemies back where they had come from. However, when the leader looked up at Omni-Man once more, he punched him and went into the portal with him. Teen Team was shocked and found out that Omni-Man was Invincible's father.

When it was discovered that the Guardians of The Globe had been murdered she was invited to the funerals.

Mark points out that he didn't even work for him, but Cecil counters by telling him he never would if he never showed respect or decided if he wanted to be a hero. Mark is forced to decide then, and he says he does want to be a hero. Cecil hands him a comm device and tells him Eve would be there as well.

Mark and Eve talk about Amber

At school, Mark tells Eve that he didn't want to lie to Amber but also couldn't tell her the truth. Eve tells him that that was why dating normal people sucked, but Mark counters by saying that things between her and Rex hadn't worked out, which angered her. Mark apologizes to her. She tells him that she had a lot of things to deal with, so he asks her to help him out with Amber stuff and he would help her out with her stuff. However, she mentions that she doesn't know if she wants to be a superhero at the moment, so Mark tells her that he would be there for her if she needed to talk about it. She leaves but turns around to tell him that he should only tell Amber his identity if he was serious about her.

After class, Mark complains about a test, but Eve tells him it's important. When Mark asks if she was okay, she tells him she had left home and didn't know what she was doing. Amber joins them and asks Mark if he would be joining her. Mark tells her he would and Amber tells Eve that Mark had volunteered to help at the Beckwell Community Center, where they cooked dinners for anyone who was hungry, which impressed Mark.

After Mark left, Amber invites Eve, who tried to excuse herself, but couldn't since she was no longer busy saving the world. Before she left, Amber asks Eve if she had seen Mark acting weird since he was always late and didn't show at times. Eve defends Mark, however, telling her that even though Mark was bad at time management, he was a good guy.

Eve meets Amber at Beckwell Community Center, where the latter shows her around. When Eve asks if Mark was there, she's told that he had 15 minutes to be there or he would be dumped. Eve is handed an apron and is put on chopping duty.

Amber and Eve pour soup for everybody, who Amber knows. Eve tells her that being so involved was impressive, but Amber says that she had thought Mark would be there with her.

Later Eve gets a call telling that Mark is injured and tells Amber that she knows it’s hard to love someone even when it seems that they don’t love you back but assured her that Mark loves her and would be there if he could.

When Mark wakes after having nearly died, Nolan tells him he knew he would pull through and tells him he was out for six days, which shocks Mark. Eve tells him he covered for him with Amber, telling her he had gotten hit by a bus and mentions Monster Girl and Black Samson were still unconscious.

In Mark's room, Eve pays him a visit; he thanks her for talking to Amber when he got hurt and hugs her. He tells her he would be visiting Upstate University and invites her, but she mentions that she wouldn't be going to college. Mark questions why since her grades were way better than his. Eve says that when she was with Amber at the community centre shared something with her and that she didn’t need to wait for an alien invasion or the Lizard League’s next attack. With her powers she could stop natural disasters and make peoples lives better. Mark understands, which somewhat surprises Eve, but he tells her that he had messed up downtown and that Black Samson and Monster Girl nearly died because of him, and wonders if both of them need a fresh start. Debbie calls Mark telling him that William and Amber were there and Eve looks at him for moment then leaves.

Eve's mother asks why Eve couldn't do her superhero work from home, but she tells her that she knew why as she made the door disappear on her father. Her father comes from around the back and tells her that he wouldn't allow it since she would die and tells her that the worst day of his life was the day she got powers. Eve leaves and her father orders her to come back, but she doesn't listen.

Eve makes herself coffee at her tree house and browses her phone while looking at the view. Later in the day, Mark runs into Eve and she realizes that she would be helping him today.

Mark tells Eve what happened with Amber, which she empathizes with. He says he doesn't know who he has to be, and she says that the same had happened to her. She tells him that a lot had changed for her as well and she felt she had upgraded since living with her parents.

Later, Mark and Eve hear an explosion and Eve tells him that they should call Cecil. He tells her that it wasn't their problem anymore, since she had run away from Rex and being a superhero. However, she tells him that she didn't ignore the world when it needed her. He says that the world was fine without him, but she tells him that he should do something to help and leaves.

As they flew, Eve tells him that she was glad he came to help, but he tells her that he was only there to make sure she didn't get hurt. Mark saw Nolan being crushed by the creature and raced forward in order to help him.

As Nolan was about to be eaten, Mark punches the creature and sends it flying. Eve gets called by Debbie and asks what was happening. Nolan awoke and Mark happily told him it was about time they teamed up together. When the creature rose, Cecil tells Eve not to help them and get to Guardians HQ.

The Guardians watch the transmission as well. Dupli-Kate suggests going to help them, but Rudy tells them that they needed to follow Cecil's orders and stay in the bunker since the battle was beyond their capabilities. Black Samson agrees, but Eve flies in, asking what was happening. Rex tells her that Omni-Man was fighting him, so Rudy says that he hopes Mark lives up to his name.

William goes to Mark's house, where he's joined by Eve. She asks him if he had seen Mark, but William says that he hadn't since everything he had seen on the news. Realizing he had revealed Mark's identity as Invincible, Eve told him she knew as well. She says she doesn't know if he's okay, however

Mark tells his friends how he is feeling

Mark told his friends how he was doing at a restaurant.

Mark's friends ask him how his mother is doing and he tells them that it wasn't good. He doesn't know what to say and tells them that he felt empty inside and nothing seems real. He asks if they can talk about something else, but William tells him that everybody in the whole world was talking about it, which angers Eve and Amber. Mark gets a call and leaves as Cecil tells him he needs him. Cecil tells him that something was flying towards them from deep space.

As Mark leaves, the whole restaurant shakes, and Eve tells Amber and William she was Atom Eve, which surprises William. However, neither Amber or William recognized her.

Personality[]

Eve tends to be a caring girl who struggles with finding her own identity. This is seen when she breaks up with Rex due to his cheating, leading her to quit her team. After that Eve takes this as a time to find her inner growth. Partly done because she truly wants to help people, and also to help herself find tranquility away from the things that caused her to feel stressed. Eve seemed to struggle with the pressure of balancing being hero, relationships and school. After helping Amber at the community center she decided to quit her education even though she has good grades. Her powers give her comfort and stability to create an ideal world and environment that is suited to her.

Eve is an idealist who has strong beliefs and opinions on how the world should be. Even though Eve has one of the strongest powers in the series, she tries to utilize her powers in a way that's directed at nature and the environment and people positively. However, in the last episode, Eve is conflicted about how she has been using her powers more isolated and directed at nature in contrast to the beginning of the series when she was on a team and used her powers more directed at villains and combat.

At the end of season one when she gives her secret identity away to Amber and William, due to the fact Amber and William already knowing about Mark's secret identity. She tells them that she’s Atom Eve, but becomes disappointed when both William and Amber don't recognize who she is. This could be due to the fact that she decided to use her powers more indirectly and isolated where before she was up close to all the action. Eve seems to struggle with stress causing her to leave her home when conflicting with her father. She finds comfort in talking to Mark due to both going through similar situations, because Mark is a hero with powers having relationship issues, similar as her. Eve and Marks relationship is special as she was the first out of his peers to find out his identity, partly because they both have powers. Mark seemed to be interested and physically attracted to Eve at the beginning of season one, however Eve was somewhat clueless to the way Mark interacted with her on a much more attentive level that only Rex could see and point out somewhat vaguely.

Eve puts others needs above her own. When she wanted to talk to Mark because she was struggling with Rex, she saw Mark making out with Amber and seemed genuinely happy that Mark had found a relationship, even though it meant that she couldn't talk to Mark in that moment or pursue him in a relationship as it seemed after she broke up with Rex she was starting to fall for him. This also showed that Eve feels like she can rely on Mark to talk to when she has inner turmoil.

Eve is a loyal friend and this is shown when Eve makes excuses to Amber about Mark's absence. Eve cares about helping people and cares for her friends a lot and helps them.

Attributes

Powers

  • Subatomic Manipulation: Atom Eve can rearrange atoms on a molecular level.[1] Through concentration Eve can project a visible psionic-manipulative energy field, the precise nature of which is unknown but appears pink in color, which alters the arrangement of atomic particles according to any visualized form Atom Eve can conceive. In a manner not yet understood, her psionic powers prevent energy from escaping when she transmutes or rearranges matter. The limit to the amount of matter she can transform at one time is not yet known. She has, on at least on one occasion, transmuted an undefined amount of barren farmland into a lush field of bountiful crops. The transformations that Atom Eve induces are apparently permanent unless she undoes them. Her costume is easily created by altering her clothes to fashion her Atom Eve suit.
  • Flight: Eve can also fly or transport others by means of projecting solid light constructs beneath her or her passengers that effectively levitate and propel them forward at high speeds.
  • Force Field: With her transmutation powers, Eve can create force fields.
  • Telekinesis: By using her matter manipulating powers, She is able to levitate, propel and manipulate objects and matter with the energy of her thoughts.
  • Energy Blasts: She has learned to channel her transmutation powers into powerful energy blasts capable of affecting matter with concussive and/or explosive force.
  • Energy Construct Creation: With her transmutation powers, Eve can make several weapons.
  • Elemental Control: By using her ability to manipulate matter on a sub-atomic level, She is able to summon and control the elemental forces of nature.
  • Immortality: Eve's powers cause her to regenerate from fatal injuries due to the trauma helping her temporarily overcome the mental blocks that prevent her form affecting organic matter.

Weaknesses

  • Rapid Caloric Depletion: A downside to Atom Eve's transmutation powers is that she absorbs any unused atoms into her body, which must later be eliminated from her system as waste, She claims that on days when she uses her powers a lot she can "go to the bathroom" six or seven times.
  • Mental Blocks: In order to keep her from using the full extent of her powers, the government had installed mental blocks. The mental blocks can be overridden through extreme emotional trauma when.

Trivia

  • The name Atom Eve sounds very similar to the biblical characters, Adam & Eve in the Christian, Muslim & Judaic Tradition.
  • Atom Eve is based off of Star Sapphire from the DC Comics.
