In the latest episode of Legends of Tomorrow, Brandon Routh’s Atom did what Ant-Man should have done in Avengers: Endgame against a foe.
For those of you who may have forgotten, there was a time before the release of Avengers: Endgame, where fans theorized that Ant-Man would be the one to defeat Thanos. This theory stated that Ant-Man would have snuck up Thanos’ anus in Avengers: Endgame before expanding to his normal size, killing Thanos in the process. The theory spread around the internet fairly quickly and even Avengers: Endgame‘s directors commented on it. This was obviously not how things went down between Ant-Man and Thanos in Avengers: Endgame as the two never actually interacted in the film. However, it seems that the other characters in Legends of Tomorrow had this idea for Brandon Routh’s Atom.
In the show’s latest episode Brandon Routh’s Atom and the shows other heroes faced off against infamous historical figure, Grigori Rasputin. Unable to defeat him, Caity Lotz’s White Canary throws Brandon Routh’s Atom into Rasputin’s mouth who swallows the character. Atom is then told to enlarge by White Canary who does so, causing the Russian antagonist to explode in quite a graphic manner:
