comment
Hanna-Barbera created this cartoon in 1965 as a companion for Secret Squirrel. Atom Ant is a very strong Funny Animal style ant who fights crime. He's usually seen foiling the schemes of Mad Scientist types. For his backing segments see Precious Pupp and The Hillbilly Bears.

Mythology Gag: A group of motorcycling ants in the episode "Wild Wild Ants" are named the Ant Hill Mob. That name would be applied to the Runyan-esque gangsters who appeared later on Wacky Races and The Perils of Penelope Pitstop.

Police Are Useless: When two bank robbers hire a female ant to distract Atom Ant during a robbery, the police chief had only two officers to send, and he was one of them. Their patrol car was so bad that they were in no condition to stop the robbers.

Charles Atlas Superpower: Played with. Atom Ant gets his powers from lifting weights — in much the same way that Popeye gets his powers from spinach. Three reps with his giant (to him) barbells is enough to replenish his superpowers for the rest of the day.

Funny Animal: Despite having a few traits typical of his species, the show's hero is pretty much the equivalent to a tiny human. While he lives in an anthill, he's a Half-Dressed Cartoon Animal, walks bipedally (and has four appendages instead of six), can speak to humans, holds down a job as a superhero, and owns human possessions such as barbells.
