5 Things To Know About Ant-Man

Excited about the incoming ComicCon Asia 2018 because of Mr. Stan Lee and other Marvel legends? Here’s another ear buzzin’ news bites.

Ant-Man has been emasculating more than 50 years, most people didn’t know his name until Marvel announced the movie! Last July 17, 2015, the Ant-Man movie was screened and somebody needed to sort its myth. Today we show facts you should know before Paul Rudd wears that iconic helmet and become Ant-Man!

This guy is an unstable and difficult character to pin down (literally and figuratively). His unique abilities and inconsistency makes him one of the most interesting and controversial Avenger characters. He also helped the planet Earth just as much as he harmed it.

1. Ant-Man is one of the original Avengers member.

Dr. Henry “Hank” Pym is an entomologist and physicist who created the Ant-Man suit after discovering the Pym Particles. Way back in September 1963 both Hank Pym (Ant-Man) and Janet Van Dyne (The Wasp) have been Avengers – founding team members already. The only other heroes in all of comic history that have same opinion are Iron Man, Thor, and The Hulk (Captain America first appeared in Issue #4).

2. The first Ant-Man was Biophysicist Dr. Henry “Hank” Pym

Dr. Pym decided to become a superhero after inventing a new chemical substance called “Pym Particles.” These allow the user to alter their size (shrinking and manipulating to grow and grow). He then added a helmet which allows him to communicate and control ants (insects.) Until his girlfriend, Janet Van Dyne became his crime-fighting partner, the Wasp!

3. Hank Pym actually invented Ultron

He first appeared in Avengers #54 (1968) as the Crimson Cowl, the mysterious character that lead Masters of Evil against Avengers. In the following issue, #55, the Crimson Cowl is identified as Ultron-5 the living automation. Ultron was created based on Pym’s own brain patterns. Ultron develops its own intelligence and has a quick revert, thus transforming into Oedipus Complex. The feelings described are irrational hatred for his “father” Hank, and has a love interest with his “mother” Janey van Dyne. Ultron then brainwashes Pym into forgetting Ultron ever existed.

4. Ant-Man was invented by the two most prolific partners of all time.

This incredibly prolific comic duo Stan Lee and Jack Kriby are responsible for these magnificent characters like The Incredible Hulk, The Fantastic Four, Thor, The X-Men and Ant-Man. Jacy Kirby designed Captain America and other beloved comic heroes until of this date.

5. Edgar Wright requested Ant-Man to be absent at Avengers

Since 2003, Edgar Wright has been working on Ant-Man. One of his main requests while working on Avengers film was that Marvel should refrain using Ant-Man or Wasp until he had finished the movie. This is to keep from muddling continuity or rushing casting process).
