Doctor Ranita Carter was a scientist for the Continuum and a friend of Captain Atom.
History
Dr Megala had a constant turnover of Doctoral candidates at the Continuum until he chose the fearless Ranita Carter - the youngest and brightest of them all. She had been at the facility for six months when she discovered the volcano erupting in Manhattan.[1]
It was no secret that Dr Carter was dating Dr Scott Alexander, yet she repeatly showed an excess of tenderness toward Captain Atom. Her interest became more romantic even after she incinerated her hand against Captain Atom's face.[2] Despite Dr Alexander's fear and jealousy, Atom was encouraged and instructed by Dr Megala in the reconstruction of Ranita's hand; and Dr Carter was made whole again.
She took a rare evening off to have dinner with Scott Alexander. It was Dec 1, 2011. Prophetically, Alexander stated that Atom was her "own personal Jesus"[3]
20 years in the future, Ranita had become The Hand of Chrono Mota. Her quantum powers were able to defend pilgrims travelling to Nabta Playa; destroy their persuers; and heal bullet wounds.
When confronted by a retrograde Captain Atom, she confessed that she regretted loving him in the past - loving him in a way that her God could not reciprocate.[4]
Time regressed, it was Dec 1 2011 again and Ranita unknowingly repeated her trip out for dinner, but this time Captain Atom placed the most human elements of himself in a Nathaniel Adam construct which took Dr Alexander's place on their date. Ranita worried that she was cheating on Scott, but soon let go as she and Nathaniel kissed and embraced. While they made love, Dr Benjamin burned at the Continuum; again and again. Ranita's desire for Nathaniel; Benjamin's unquenchable fire - all stemmed from Captain Atom's subconscious mind and quantum powers. Once Atom regained his quantum form, he and Ranita both realized that they were better off alone.
