Her sanity restored, a terrified Loring tearfully begged for forgiveness, screaming that she loved Sue and that she was crazy when she killed her. The Spectre, desiring revenge on Eclipso but rendered incapable of taking it (owing to his lack of a host), ordered Dibny to punish Eclipso in return for his wife's life Dibny, intending to punish his wife's murderer and temporarily granted the power of the Spectre, took Eclipso back to the point at which she (as Jean Loring) murdered Sue and, restoring Jean's sanity, intended to trap her in a permanent time loop, forcing her to watch herself murder Sue Dibny over and over for all eternity. Ī short time later, Ralph Dibny-accompanied by the Helmet of Fate-approached the Spectre as part of his quest to restore his wife Sue to life, promising to fulfill any bargain demanded of him in order to accomplish this. During a battle with other magic users, Jean was sent orbiting around the sun. As Eclipso, she convinced the Spectre to massacre magical beings. She found a black diamond in her cell one day and became the new host for Eclipso. Incarcerated in Arkham Asylum, Jean was abused by other prisoners. Palmer did return to his ex-wife, but Jean revealed information about the murders in passing, leaving her exposed as the killer. Boomerang was sent to attack Timothy Drake's father while an anonymous tip alerted Drake. She then faked an attempt on her life and set up Captain Boomerang to take the fall. She incinerated her body to cover it up, starting a disastrous chain of events. She hoped that the incident would cause the heroes to become closer to their loved ones and in the process drive Palmer back to her. She shrunk herself using one of Palmer's old costumes and tried to give Sue Dibny a minor stroke. After practicing for several years, they eventually returned to Ivy Town, where Jean became a senior partner at Grabemann, Loring, and Ross.Īt some point, Jean suffered a mental breakdown and was desperate to get back together with Ray Palmer. Jean and Paul left Ivy Town and opened up a small firm in Calvin City. With Ray gone from her life, Jean remarried to a fellow attorney named Paul Hoben.
Following their separation, Ray abandoned life in Ivy Town to live in a miniature jungle environment with a colony of six-inch humanoids known as the Katarthans, under the rule of Princess Laethwen. Ultimately, the two could not reconcile their lives together and they divorced. The intensity between them was strained when the Atom began devoting large portions of his time to the Justice League of America.
The Palmers' marriage was rife with difficulty, due primarily to Ray's double-life as a super-hero. Jean eventually discovered Ray's secret identity and the two were married. She did not know that her fiancé was really the Atom for many years, despite the fact that she had aided the Atom on several of his adventures. Jean Loring began her career as a lawyer about the same time that physicist Ray Palmer first began adventuring as the Atom.
