Cinematic Universe (MCU) movies.
Who Is the Ant-Man?
Ant-Man is one of the least well-known superheroes of
Marvel. The wearer of the Ant-Man suit has the ability to shrink down in size, while retaining their normal strength.The Ant-Man is a mantle and has actually been passed down. So, I will
start with the first Ant-Man, Hank Pym.
Hank Pym was a scientist experimenting with shrinking. He
was finally able to succeed until he accidentally shrunk himself to the size of
an Ant and got stuck.
Flash-forward a couple of weeks, Pym has restored to his
regular size but decides he must again use his serum to save him and his fellow
scientists from KGB agents attempting to learn of experimental government
projects.
Hank fought many villains and became a founding member of
the Avengers.
Hank later decided to retire from his heroic days and passed
the mantle to Scott Lang.
Scott Lang resorted to burglary after not being able to
support his family. He was able to steal Hank’s Ant-Man suit. Lang intended to
return the Ant-Man costume to its owner and turn himself in, but Henry Pym
offered to let him keep them, provided Lang put them to lawful use. Scott used
the Ant-Man suit to help those in need and eventually became an Avenger.
Paul Rudd is scheduled to play Scott Lang in Ant-Man
in theaters July 17th.
