Hank Pym

Biochemist Dr. Henry "Hank" Pym discovers an unusual set of subatomic particles he labels "Pym particles". Entrapping them within two separate serums, he creates a size-altering formula and a reversal formula, testing them on himself. Reduced to the size of an insect, he becomes trapped in an anthill before he eventually escapes and uses the reversal formula to return to normal size. Deciding the serums are too dangerous, he destroys them.[6] He later reconsiders his decision and recreates his serums. Pym's experience in the anthill inspires him to study ants, and he builds a cybernetic helmet that lets him communicate with and control them. He designs a costume made of unstable molecules to prevent bites or scratches from the ants and reinvents himself as the superhero Ant-Man.[7]

After several adventures, Pym is contacted by Dr. Vernon van Dyne, who asks for his help contacting alien life. Pym refuses, but is attracted to Vernon's socialite daughter Janet van Dyne. When Vernon is killed by an alien criminal who teleports to Earth, Janet asks for Pym's help avenging his death. Pym reveals his secret identity to Janet and uses Pym particles to graft wasp wings beneath her shoulders, which appear when Janet shrinks. She assumes the alias of the Wasp, and together they find and defeat Vernon's killer.[8] They become founding members of the superhero team the Avengers.[9]

Pym eventually adopts his first alternate identity as the 12-foot-tall Giant-Man.[10] (Three decades later, a flashback shows him adopting the identity out of feelings of inadequacy when compared to powerful teammates Iron Man and Thor.[11]) Pym and the Wasp begin a romantic relationship,[12] and soon take a leave of absence from the Avengers.[13]

Returning to the Avengers, Pym adopts a new superhero identity, Goliath.[14] A mishap traps him in giant form for several issues and affects his self-esteem.[15] After recovering his size-shifting powers, he creates the robot Ultron that unexpectedly achieves sentience and becomes one of the Avengers's greatest foes.[16] During a botched experiment, Pym inhales chemicals that affect his mind, and he reappears at Avengers Mansion in the cocky new persona of Yellowjacket, claiming to have disposed of Pym. The Wasp secretly realizes he is Pym, however, and accepts his offer of marriage. At their wedding, a battle with the Circus of Crime erupts; in the ensuing conflict, the chemicals lose their effect on him and his identity is restored.[17]

After several adventures with the Avengers, including another encounter with Ultron,[18] the pair take another leave of absence.[19] The heroes re-encounter Hank Pym at the beginning of the Kree-Skrull War,[20] and once again as the Ant-Man persona and has a series of solo adventures.[21]

After aiding fellow superhero team known as the Defenders[22][23] as Yellowjacket, Pym returns to the Avengers.[24] He is eventually captured by an upgraded Ultron that brainwashes his creator, causing the character to regress to his original Ant-Man costume and personality — arriving at Avengers Mansion, thinking it to be the very first meeting of the team. Seeing several unfamiliar members, Pym attacks the team until stopped by the Wasp.[25] After Ultron's brainwashing is reversed, Pym rejoins the Avengers as Yellowjacket.[26] Pym is forced to briefly leave the team when the roster is restructured by government liaison Henry Peter Gyrich.[27]

Also at this time, he noticed Scott Lang's theft of the Ant-Man suit. After Darren Cross's defeat and aware of Lang's use of the stolen goods, Pym let Lang keep the equipment, albeit only to uphold the law.[28]

Returning 14 issues later,[29] Hank Pym participates in several missions until, after demonstrating hostile behavior toward Janet van Dyne, he attacks a foe from behind once the opponent had ceased fighting. Captain America suspends Yellowjacket from Avengers duty pending the verdict of a court-martial.

Pym suffers a mental breakdown and concocts a plan to salvage his credibility. He plans to build a robot and program it to launch an attack on the Avengers; Pym will then counter the false flag attack at a critical moment using his knowledge of the robot's weaknesses, thereby presenting himself as the other Avengers' savior. The Wasp discovers the plan and begs Pym to stop, whereupon he strikes her.[30][note 1]

Pym is subsequently expelled from the Avengers,[30] and Janet divorces him.[32]

Left penniless, Pym is manipulated by an old foe, the presumed-dead Egghead, who tricks Pym into stealing the national reserve of the metal adamantium. Pym is confronted by the Avengers and blamed for the theft, as Egghead erases all evidence of his own involvement. Pym, in turn, blames Egghead, a criminal still believed dead by the other Avengers. This is taken by Pym's former teammates as further proof of his madness, and he is incarcerated.[33] During Pym's imprisonment, Janet has a brief relationship with Tony Stark.[34] Egghead later attempts to kill Pym but is himself accidentally killed by Hawkeye. With the perpetrator of the original theft now exposed, Pym is cleared of all charges. After bidding farewell to Janet and his teammates, Pym leaves to devote himself full-time to research.[35]

Pym reappears as a member of the West Coast Avengers, first in an advisory role,[36] then as a full member. He answers to "Doctor Pym" in the field, using none of the names or costumes associated with his previous superhero identities.[37] He begins a short relationship with teammate Tigra.[38] After being taunted by old foe Whirlwind, Pym contemplates suicide, but is stopped by Firebird.[39] Pym and Janet eventually resume a romantic relationship.[40]

The character returns to the Avengers, joining the East Coast team as Giant-Man.[41] The pair, together with many of the other Avengers, apparently sacrifice themselves to stop the villain Onslaught, but actually exist in a pocket universe for a year before returning to the mainstream Marvel Universe.[42]

Hank Pym returns and aids the team as Giant-Man,[43] and makes a significant contribution by defeating criminal mastermind Imus Champion[44] and his flawed creation Ultron, simultaneously overcoming his old issues of guilt over Ultron's crimes.[45]

During the Destiny War between Kang the Conqueror and Immortus, two versions of Hank Pym are drawn in: Giant-Man of the present and Yellowjacket immediately prior to his marriage to Janet van Dyne.[46] Yellowjacket briefly betrays the team to Immortus and the powerful Time-Keepers try to create a timeline where he will not turn back into Pym,[47] but he rejects this decision in time to help his allies.[48] Observing the final battle, Libra—who brought the team together by using the Destiny Force to tap into his subconscious awareness of the cosmic balance—reflects that both Pyms were necessary so that Yellowjacket's betrayal could bring the team into the right position to attack the Time-Keepers, while Pym's presence as Giant-Man both provided a stable support and irritated Yellowjacket to provoke his own actions.[49]

Back in the present, an encounter with Kulan Gath results in Pym being split into his two personas of Pym and Yellowjacket, after a spell cast by Gath temporarily transforms Pym into a swashbuckler-style Yellowjacket, followed by the Yellowjacket persona manifesting a physical presence from the extradimensional bio-mass Pym uses to grow. Yellowjacket's stability deteriorates in a confrontation with Diablo. The two personalities are restored when the Wasp helps the two halves realize they need each other.[50] Pym is eventually able to resolve his problems and adopts his Yellowjacket persona again.[51]

After the events of the "Avengers Disassembled" storyline, Pym takes a leave of absence,[52] and in the one-shot Avengers: Finale, he and Janet leave for England to rekindle their relationship.[53]

As Yellowjacket, Pym is a central character in the Civil War storyline, joining those heroes that support the Superhuman Registration Act. At the conclusion of the Civil War, Pym is named "Man of the Year" by Time magazine for his role in freeing several captive anti-registration heroes.[54] Pym becomes one of the administrators at Camp Hammond, a U.S. military base in Stamford, Connecticut, for the training of registered superheroes in the government program The Initiative.[55] Pym and Janet's relationship fails, and Pym again begins a romantic relationship with teammate Tigra.

Following the publication of Civil War, Marvel's Secret Invasion storyline uses flashbacks to present the then-current version of the character as an impostor who replaced the real Pym at some point in the books' fictional history prior to the events of Civil War. This impostor is an extraterrestrial of the shape-shifting Skrull race participating in a covert invasion of Earth; Pym's experiences throughout the Civil War series and related series are retold in brief from the perspective of the impostor and its allies.[56] The impostor is exposed and defeated by the hero Crusader.[57] After the final battle between Earth's heroes and the Skrulls, Pym is found with other "replaced" heroes in a Skrull vessel. When Janet is seemingly killed in battle,[58] Pym takes on a new superhero persona, the Wasp, in tribute to her.[59] He rejoins the Avengers[60] and eventually leads the team.[61]

The cosmic entity Eternity reveals to Pym that he is Earth's "Scientist Supreme", the scientific counterpart to Earth's Sorcerer Supreme.[62] The Norse trickster-god Loki later claims to have been posing as Eternity to manipulate Pym.[63]

Hank Pym creates Avengers Academy, a program to help train young people with newly acquired superpowers.[64] Pym returns to his Giant-Man identity.[65][66] Pym later joins the superhero team known as the Secret Avengers.[67] When a future version of Pym's sentient robot Ultron conquers the world of the present in the "Age of Ultron" storyline, a time-travel plan involving Wolverine and the Invisible Woman succeeds in having the past Pym make a change in his creation of Ultron, which destroys the robot with a computer virus.[68]

Pym and Monica Chang, A.I. Division Chief of the espionage agency S.H.I.E.L.D., assemble a new team called the Avengers A.I., consisting of Pym, Victor Mancha (his "grandson" by way of Ultron), the Vision, and a Doombot.[69] The team is later joined by Alexis,[70] who is eventually revealed to be one of six sentient A.I.s to be spawned from the Ultron virus along with Dimitrios.[70] Months later, Pym, again using the Yellowjacket identity, is shown as a member of the Illuminati.[71]

Later, an accident merges Pym and Ultron during Ultron's latest attack. The hybrid human/machine eventually abandons Earth. A funeral service is held in Pym's honor,[72] and Scott Lang receives one of Hank's labs.[73]

Pym apparently resurfaces after helping the crew of a spaceship under attack. Ultron is now Pym's armor rather than being merged seemingly.[74] Back on Earth, he rejoins the Avengers, but his teammates and others discover Ultron has gained control and is impersonating Pym.[75] The Avengers end up defeating the hybrid by plunging into the sun, but both Hank and Ultron survive and continue to do battle with one another internally.[76]

Hank is later presented as having fathered a daughter Nadia through his ex-wife Maria Trovaya, and Nadia becomes the latest Wasp.[77] It is also revealed by Janet to Nadia that Hank has bipolar disorder.[78] It had been discussed in Avengers A.I. that Hank was aware of his disorder and was monitoring it himself to predict when and how often his mood swings may occur.[79]

During the "Secret Empire" storyline, Pym had set up a base in an unidentified forest in Alaska. Upon being alerted by the approach of Sam Wilson's task force by a robot version of Edwin Jarvis, Ultron Pym decides to give his "family" a warm welcome.[80] When Tony Stark A.I.'s team and the Hydra Supreme Steve Rogers alongside Hydra's Avengers confront each other, they are captured by Pym who forces both teams to sit at a dinner table. Pym argues that he is doing this because the Avengers have become less of a family over the years as so many of them jump to obey Captain America or Iron Man despite past experience confirming that this should be a bad idea. Tony Stark's A.I. counters that the only reason the team failed as a family was because of Pym's attack on Wasp. Outraged, Ultron Pym nearly attacks the other heroes, but Scott Lang is able to talk him down by arguing that Hank Pym remains his own inspiration. Ultron Pym allows Tony Stark A.I.'s team to leave with the Cosmic Cube fragment, arguing that he will leave Hydra Supreme's plans with Hydra alone as it appears to be the best chance for world peace.[81]

After discovering that the Infinity Stones were reformed back into the Universe, Pym decided to collect them all.[82] He sends the aliens he had infected with his virus to take the Space Stone from Wolverine while he himself went to claim the Soul Stone. The aliens eventually failed at their task, but Ultron Pym was able to steal the Soul Gem from Magus after ruthlessly killing him. However, unbeknownst to Ultron Pym, once he claimed the Soul Stone, the fragment of Hank Pym's soul entered the Soul World where he was greeted by Gamora's soul fragment, who revealed to him that he was going to be trapped there forever.[83] Soon afterwards, the fragment of Hank's soul encounters and battles a Soul World monster known as Devondra who trapped Hank in the silk it generates. This silk creates a deluding dream which made Hank believe that he had escaped the Soul World and reunited himself with the Avengers. Devondra then devours Hank's soul fragment under the watch of Gamora's soul fragment.[84]

As Pym is using Saiph as his base of operations and plans to unleash the Ultron Virus on a cosmic scale, the Silver Surfer goes to look for Galactus. Even though Galactus is no longer a world-eater, the Silver Surfer informs him of what is happening and asks for his help to stop Pym's plot. However, Ultron Pym had already launched rockets filled with the Ultron Virus to infect the entire galaxy while saving Earth as his last target.[85] Galactus initially refuses to consume Saiph due to the consequences of destroying it until he agrees with the Silver Surfer. This results in Saiph and the rockets transporting the Ultron Virus being destroyed. Ultron Pym got wounded in the escape and Adam Warlock claims the Soul Gem.[86]

During "The Ultron Agenda" arc, Ultron/Hank Pym returned to Earth with plans to merge robots with humans like how Hank Pym became merged with Ultron so that he can make the ultimate lifeform. In addition, he started to call this form "Ultron Pym". After testing it on some people and some experiments on Wonder Man and Vision, Ultron Pym planned to make a fusion of Jocasta and Wasp. Iron Man and Machine Man interfered with the resulting battle causing Iron Man to be molecularly bonded to the Ultronbuster armor.[87] The combined efforts of Stark Unlimited enabled them to create an atomic separator that separated Tony Stark from the Ultronbuster armor and Wonder Man from Vision.[88] Ultron Pym prepared to take revenge on Iron Man. This led to Iron Man revealing what he discovered about the human and robot fusion. The person who merged with it has died and that the robot can only simulate their personality. In other words, Hank Pym was long dead when he accidentally merged with Ultron. Learning about this and not wanting to risk proving Iron Man's point by having the atomic separator used on him, Ultron surrendered to Iron Man knowing that Hank is dead.[89]

The Ant-Man miniseries in 2022 to celebrate the character's sixtieth anniversary sees an early Hank Pym being pulled into the future, along with Eric O'Grady (from just after he stole the suit) and Scott Lang (of the 'present') to assist the Ant-Man of the 25th century Dr. Zayn Asghar, in battling All-Father Ultron (from the miniseries Ultron Forever), who has escaped his destruction and is trying to pull himself back together. While this Ultron still attempts to claim that he is merged with the Hank Pym of his present, Scott Lang dismisses that observing that if there was anything of Hank Pym in Ultron, he would have used the power of the All-Father to separate himself from Ultron. Upon Zayn using Time Master's aging ray on him after it was brought with him by Scott, Ultron is ultimately defeated once again and the other Ant-Men are returned to the past.[90]

An older man claiming to be Hank Pym was revealed to have placed an artificial personality in Whirlwind's corpse called "Victor Shade" as he talks about it with a somehow-revived Eric O'Grady.[91]

In the post-apocalyptic Old Man Logan storyline that takes place on Earth-807128, Hank Pym (as Giant-Man) is one of the numerous superheroes killed by the Red Skull's army of villains. Decades after his demise, a Connecticut settlement called "Pym Falls" is built around his massive skeleton.[148] In addition, his Ant-Man helmet is shown in the possession of a young boy named Dwight, who uses it to command an army of ants to enforce the payment of tolls across a bridge.[149]

Moloids emerged and attack Giant-Man, causing him to fall to the ground.[150]

The Ultimate Marvel imprint version of Henry "Hank" Pym is portrayed as a brilliant but mentally fragile scientist. He takes Prozac to battle his mental instability and depressive episodes. He gains his Giant-Man abilities after transfusing the blood of his mutant wife Janet Pym. The character is expelled from the Ultimates after his abusive behavior ends his marriage and his Giant-Man serum is used by S.H.I.E.L.D. to make an entire Giant-Men team. Now a pariah, he briefly joins with both pseudo heroes and then anti-American villains in his Ant-Man persona. The character eventually rejoins the Ultimates in his Yellowjacket identity. During the events of "Ultimatum" storyline, he sacrifices himself against the Multiple Man's suicide bomber duplicates to save the remaining Ultimates' lives.[151]

He tells them how to free her (severing the antennae on her mask), gives her a new costume, and uses an insect telepathy helmet (identical to his Earth-616 Ant-Man helmet) to create an illusion of several giant-sized people, scaring the insects away. He returns in issue 20, becoming Ant-Man. He not only joins the team but begins a relationship with Janet.
