During tonight's season premiere of DC's Legends of Tomorrow, Ray's soul-crushing Silicon Valley job may have been a depressing time for him...but it might turn out to be a productive one, as he seems to have designed one of The Atom's most important pieces of hardware from the comics.

He came to his boss, a rich young jerk who didn't want to hear what Ray had to say, with a revelation: he had discovered a way to not only shrink organic matter but to make the circuitry for doing so small enough to fit in your...

...well, he cut off there, but the likely conclusion to that sentence is "...belt."

In the comics, Ray Palmer doesn't have a giant suit of armor but wears tights and a "size-changing belt" which houses a piece of white dwarf star which can help him to shrink and grow back to normal size at will.

DC's Legends of Tomorrow airs Tuesday nights at 9 p.m. ET/PT on The CW, following new episodes of The Flash.
