In a interview with CBR writer Jeff Parker talks about the addition of 3-D man to “Agents of Atlas”. Here’s a few excerpts

The idea for forging the various characters of “Atlas” into a team first came in 1978′s “What If?” #9, a book that featured 3-D Man. However, when you brought those characters into the current continuity with “Agents of Atlas” #1, you left 3-D Man out because he was a character created in the ’70s and not from books published by Marvel Comics’ predecessor, Atlas. Now it appears as though the current 3-D Man is going to play a large role in May’s “Atlas” #1. What made you want to look at him now, and is this the original 3-D Man or the new one who adopted the identity during “Secret Invasion?”

He kept coming up, and Gabe Hardman and I came up with a neat way to build a story around him. This is Delroy, the current 3-D Man, formerly Triathlon [from Kurt Busiek's run on "Avengers"]. He has a kind of convoluted personal history, but don’t worry, you won’t need to know it. And you will also be seeing Chuck, the original 3-D Man.

Again, don’t fret over the continuity of the character; it will be told in a way that is very easy to get into, yet work with what has come before. Gorilla-Man will not tolerate having to listen to someone’s wending origin story.
