Henry Pym (Earth-7045)


 * This article is for the first Ant-Man, also known as Giant-Man. For his successor on the Defenders, see Scott Lang.

Dr. Hank Pym was an ordinary, but brilliant biochemist. He was responsible for the creation of a rare group of subatomic particles. Pym then used these particles to create two serums: one that shrinks objects and one that makes them larger. Testing the first serum on himself, Pym shrinks to insect size for the first time but is unable to reverse the procedure. Now trapped in a nearby anthill, Pym nearly drowns in honey before being rescued by a friendly ant. The new friends fend off an attack by other ants looking for an easy meal before Pym makes it back to his lab. Using the second serum to return to normal size, Pym recognizes the danger of his discovery and decides to destroy the serums before they can do more harm.

Trivia

 * Henry Pym was criticized by other scientists, who viewed his theoretical work as ridiculous. One of them suggested to Pym that he "should stick to practical projects". Pym responded that he only wanted to work on projects that appealed to his own imagination. He was not interested in practical applications for his projects.
