Ant-Man History
When Henry ‘Hank’ Pym formulated a substance (Pym’s Particles) that could change your size, the idea of Ant-Man started to formulate. After first using Pym’s Particles, Hank shrunk down to the size of an insect and became stuck in an ant hill. Once free he deemed the substance too dangerous and destroyed it, this only lasted a short time as he later realised this could be put to good use. From his time spent in the ant hill, he became fascinated by the study of ants and created a helmet that let him communicate telepathically with them. Once revealing his inventions to his girlfriend Janet Van Dyne, she became his crime fighting partner named the Wasp. Together they were the founding members of the Avengers.
The next person to take up the Ant-Man name was a common thief named Scot Lang. After finding out about the Ant-Man suit he stole it to treat his daughter’s heart condition. Lang only intended to take the suit to save his daughter’s life, however on returning the suit to Pym, he was allowed to keep it on the condition he only used it to uphold the law. As Ant-Man Lang became an ally of the Fantastic Four and most recently a full-time member of the Avengers.
Eric O’Grady was the last person to use the name Ant-Man. Unlike his predecessors O’Grady did not always use the suit for good, as a low-level S.H.I.E.L.D. agent he came across the suit in S.H.I.E.L.D.’s headquarters and stole it for his own gains, which included using his Superhero status to seduce women and humiliate others. A recurring theme to O’Grady’s character is the fight over his evil side, resulting in him countlessly vowing to change. His life however comes to a heroic end when he is beaten to death by Father’s henchman while trying to protect a child.
