Ok so he might not be the most loved or the best super hero out there but growing up as a kid I would often hear about this Ant-Man character, though not much was known about him. Well the same can be said for today, I still don't know much, but as I do, I went and did some homework.

To fill you in a bit, Ant-Man was originally the superhero persona of Hank Pym, a brilliant scientist who invented a substance that allowed him to change his size. Armed with a helmet that could control ants, Pym would shrink down to the size of an insect to become the mystery-solving Ant-Man. After Pym retired his Ant-Man identity, successor Scott Lang used Pym's technology to take on the role of Ant-Man. Scott Lang was a thief who first became Ant-Man after stealing Henry Pym's Ant-Man suit to save his daughter Cassie from a heart condition. Reforming from his life of crime, he soon took on a full-time career as Ant-Man with the encouragement of Hank Pym.
