Ray Palmer is no Hank Pym.

One of the better Legion storylines had  Darkseid transport Daxxam from its red sun system to our yellow sun, creating a world of supermen. Great concept but the conclusion was pretty lame as 15 or so Legion members, aided by the Legion of Substitute Heroes, kicked their collective asses.

Imagine if 100,000 humans suddenly had Supermans powers and abilities. Better yet, imagine you suddenly did. You can hear everything that's happening on the planet. Billions and billions of sounds flood your ears. You bend down to pet your dog but your newly found super strength ends up flattening him. You rush home to show Ma and Pa what happened but you miscalculate your momentum and end up smashing into the house, demolishing it. You desperately try to use your x-ray vision to find your parents in the wreck but because you can't control your powers, you end up accidentally incinerating them with your heat vision. I will leave to your imagination the damage an uncontrolled super-urine stream could do. Or the Super breaking of wind?

The sensory overload and uncontrollable bodies of these newly super individuals would make them basically screaming insane semi guided missiles.  Not good.
