Really not sure on this, I guess WAR for the bomb and then CENTER because they are at the core of everything?

I like WAR and if I'm not mistaken wasn't there a DOCTOR Atom in comics.

Wow, I feel like this should be way easier, so I must be missing something.

I ultimately had to look at the spoilers and I reluctantly agree with War and Center.

It's super niche, but Tablets are powered by Intel's Atom series of microprocessors. Obscure but perfectly on point down to the Atom stickers on some.

In a vacuum I like Gas since Atom/Molecule is probably a close enough pairing, but War and Gas seems like something you'd clue differently.

@David - there's Dr. Manhattan in the famous comic Watchmen and there's Molecule Man in, I think, the DC universe, but if there's Dr. Atom I've not heard of him.

Point to WAR

Any thoughts on MOSCOW for the second word? I feel like there has to be a better way to get WAR/CENTER, and MOSCOW would flow from Atom WAR. Of course, there would be better ways to clue WAR/MOSCOW if those were the targets, so I'm back to square one smile

WAR is blue

Hmm...LOCH NESS is the softball. Then...

DOCTOR Who is mystical, or is he all sci-fi?
AMAZON is a mystical place, and the Amazon tribe is considered not real.
SATURN was a mystical god.
Pro wrestler the UNDERTAKER did some mystical things.

The Loch Ness monster is a creature of myth.


Saturn is a god who features in Roman mythology.


Probably pass after those two, Novel / Film make sense to me as sources of myth in media, Undertakers feature in certain myths, England has myths, some myths may involve Soldiers or creatures of Snow...


Actually, thinking on it, Amazon is probably the best pick for a third word if Saturn is blue, going with a "figures of Greek / Roman mythology" connection.

@ Pja- the clue is Mythical though, not Mystical. Significant difference.
