'''Dr. Henry Jonathan Pym''' is a  [[character (arts)|character]] appearing in [[American comic book]]s published by [[Marvel Comics]]. Created by [[penciller]] [[Jack Kirby]], editor-plotter [[Stan Lee]] and writer [[Larry Lieber]],<!--no confirmation of "Marvel Method" being used on pre-superhero Marvel monster stories, historical accounts of which refer to as having full scripts--> Pym debuted in ''[[Tales to Astonish]]'' #27 (January 1962). He returned several issues later as the original iteration of [[Ant-Man]], a [[superhero]] with the power to shrink to the size of an [[ant]]. He later assumed other superhero identities, including the size-changing [[Giant-Man]] and [[Goliath (Marvel Comics)|Goliath]]; the insect-themed [[Yellowjacket (Marvel Comics)|Yellowjacket]]; and briefly, the [[Wasp (character)|Wasp]]. He is a founding member of the [[Avengers (comics)|Avengers]] superhero team, and the creator of the robotic villain [[Ultron]]. He is also the ex-husband of Janet van Dyne, the first Wasp, and the father of [[Nadia van Dyne]], his daughter by his first wife, [[Maria Pym]].

Since his earliest appearances in the [[Silver Age of Comic Books]], Pym has been featured in various Marvel-endorsed products including [[animated films]], [[video game]]s, [[television series]], and [[feature film]]s. [[Michael Douglas]] plays Pym in the [[Marvel Cinematic Universe]] films ''[[Ant-Man (film)|Ant-Man]]'' (2015), ''[[Ant-Man and the Wasp]]'' (2018), ''[[Avengers: Endgame]]'' (2019), and ''[[Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania]]'' (2023). Douglas also voiced alternate-timeline versions of Pym in the [[Disney+]] animated series ''[[What If...? (TV series)|What If...?]]'' (2021–2023).

==Publication history==

Hank Pym debuted in a seven-page solo cover story, "The Man in the Ant Hill", about a character who tests [[wikt:shrink|shrink]]ing technology on himself, in the [[science fiction]]/[[fantasy]] [[anthology]] ''[[Tales to Astonish]]'' #27 ([[cover date]] January 1962). The story was created by editor-plotter [[Stan Lee]], writer [[Larry Lieber]], [[penciller]] [[Jack Kirby]], and [[inker]] [[Dick Ayers]]. In a 2008 interview, Lee said: "I did one comic book called 'The Man in the Ant Hill' about a guy who shrunk down and there were ants or bees chasing him. That sold so well that I thought making him into a superhero might be fun."<ref>{{cite news | first=William | last=Keck | url=https://www.usatoday.com/life/movies/news/2008-06-22-marvel-magic_N.htm | title=Here come Marvel's 'Avengers,' and Stan Lee, Joe Simon weigh in | work=[[USA Today]] | date=22 June 2008 | access-date=6 July 2008 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080706080444/http://www.usatoday.com/life/movies/news/2008-06-22-marvel-magic_N.htm | archive-date=6 July 2008 | url-status=live }}</ref>

As a result, Pym was revived eight issues later as the costumed [[superhero]] '''Ant-Man''' who starred in a 13-page, three-chapter story "Return of the Ant-Man/An Army of Ants/The Ant-Man's Revenge" in ''Tales to Astonish'' #35 (September 1962). His adventures became an ongoing feature in the title. Issue #44 (June 1963) featured the debut of his [[socialite]] girlfriend and lab assistant [[Wasp (character)|Janet van Dyne]], who adopted the costumed identity of the Wasp. She co-starred in Pym's subsequent appearances, and was a framing-sequence host for backup stories in the series. In September 1963, Lee and Kirby created the superhero title ''[[The Avengers (comic book)|The Avengers]]'', and Ant-Man and Wasp were established in issue #1 as founding members of the eponymous team.

Decades later, Lee theorized as to why "Ant-Man never became one of our top sellers or had his own book":

{{blockquote|I loved Ant-Man, but the stories were never really successful. In order for Ant-Man to be successful, he had to be drawn this small next to big things and you would be getting pictures that were visually interesting. The artists who drew him, no matter how much I kept reminding them, they kept forgetting that fact. They would draw him standing on a tabletop and they would draw a heroic-looking guy. I would say, 'Draw a matchbook cover next to him, so we see the difference in size.' But they kept forgetting. So when you would look at the panels, you thought you were looking at a normal guy wearing an underwear costume like all of them. It didn't have the interest.<ref>{{cite book | title = Stan Lee: Conversations |  editor-first = Jeff | editor-last = McLaughlin | publisher = [[University Press of Mississippi]] | year = 2007 | isbn = 978-1578069859 | page = [https://books.google.com/books?id=zLmB3GprtboC&dq=%22ant-Man+certainly+wasn%27t%22&pg=PA186 186] }}</ref>}}

Pym began a continuous shift of superhero identities in ''Tales to Astonish'', first becoming the {{convert|12|ft|m|abbr=on|adj=mid|-tall}} '''Giant-Man''' in issue #49 (November 1963). Pym and van Dyne continued to costar in the title until issue #69 (July 1965), while simultaneously appearing in ''The Avengers'' until issue #15 (April 1965), after which they temporarily left the team.

Next Pym rejoined the Avengers and adopted the new identity '''Goliath''' in ''Avengers'' #28 (May 1966). Gradually falling to mental strain, he adopted the fourth superhero identity '''Yellowjacket''' in issue #59 (December 1968).<ref>{{cite book |last1=Wells |first1=John |title=American Comic Book Chronicles: 1965-1969 |date=2014 |publisher=TwoMorrows Publishing |isbn=978-1605490557 |page=200}}</ref> He reappeared as Ant-Man in ''Avengers'' #93 (November 1971); and for issues #4–10 starred in the lead story of the first volume of ''[[Marvel Feature]]'' (July 1972{{spnd}}July 1973). During this run, he appeared in a redesigned costume with a [[Nail (fastener)|nail]] as a weapon.<ref>{{cite journal|last=Cassell|first=Dewey |title=Marvel Feature|journal=[[Back Issue!]]|issue=71|pages=15–17|publisher=[[TwoMorrows Publishing]]|date=April 2014|location=Raleigh, North Carolina}}</ref> After appearing occasionally as Yellowjacket in the 1980s and battling mental and emotional issues, he temporarily abandoned costumed personas altogether, joining the [[West Coast Avengers]] as a scientist and inventor in ''[[West Coast Avengers (comic book)|West Coast Avengers]]'' vol. 2, #21 (June 1987).<!--Vol. 1 was 1984 miniseries--> Writer [[Steve Englehart]] explained, "I've been using him as he asked to be used. In the [[Egghead (Marvel Comics)|Egghead]] story, where he bombed out as Yellowjacket, he said that he would never be a superhero again, so I took him at his word."<ref>{{cite magazine|title=Update: The Avengers |magazine=[[Comics Feature]] |issue=51 |date=January 1987 |publisher=Movieland Publishing |page=4}}</ref>

Pym returned to the Avengers as Giant-Man in ''The Avengers'' vol. 3, #1 (February 1998). When the team disbanded after a series of tragedies, Pym, as Yellowjacket, took a leave of absence beginning with vol. 3, #85 (September 2004).<ref>The issue was alternately numbered #500 (of the first volume) in an anniversary return to the original series numbering.</ref>

Following van Dyne's death, a grieving Pym took on yet another identity as a new iteration of '''Wasp''', in tribute to the woman he had married and divorced, in the [[one-shot (comics)|one-shot]] publication ''[[Secret Invasion|Secret Invasion: Requiem]]'' (January 2009). Giant-Man appeared as a supporting character in ''[[Avengers Academy]]'' from issue #1 (August 2010) through its final issue #39 (January 2013). Pym returned as the Wasp in the mini-series ''Ant-Man & The Wasp'' (January 2011) and as a regular character in the 2010-2013 ''Secret Avengers'' series from issue #22 (April 2012) through its final issue #37 (March 2013).

After ''Secret Avengers'', Pym joined the ''Avengers A.I.'' after beating his creation [[Ultron]]. He then appeared in many comics including ''Daredevil'' (Vol. 3 and 4) and the graphic novel ''Rage of Ultron''.

==Fictional character biography==
=== 1960s ===
[[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.<ref name="Origin">''Tales to Astonish'' #27 (January 1962). Marvel Comics.</ref> 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.<ref>''Tales to Astonish'' #35 (September 1962). Marvel Comics.</ref>

After several adventures, Pym is contacted by 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 (character)|Wasp]], and together they find and defeat Vernon's killer.<ref name="Tales to Astonish #44">''Tales To Astonish'' #44 (June 1963).

Left penniless, Pym is manipulated by an old foe, the presumed-dead [[Egghead (Marvel Comics)|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.

=== 2000s ===
During the [[Avengers Forever|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.<ref>''Avengers Forever'' #2. Marvel Comics.</ref> 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,<ref>''Avengers Forever'' #7. Marvel Comics.</ref> but he rejects this decision in time to help his allies.<ref>''Avengers Forever'' #10. Marvel Comics.</ref> Observing the final battle, [[Libra (Marvel Comics)|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.<ref>''Avengers Forever'' #11. Marvel Comics.</ref>

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 (Marvel Comics)|Diablo]]. The two personalities are restored when the Wasp helps the two halves realize they need each other.<ref>''Avengers Annual'' 2001 (September 2001). Marvel Comics.</ref> Pym is eventually able to resolve his problems and adopts his Yellowjacket persona again.<ref>''The Avengers'' vol. 3, #41{{spnd}}55 (June 2001{{spnd}}August 2002).

After the events of the "[[Avengers Disassembled]]" storyline, Pym takes a leave of absence,<ref>''The Avengers'' vol. 3, #85 (September 2004). Marvel Comics.</ref> and in the [[One-shot (comics)|one-shot]] ''Avengers: Finale'', he and Janet leave for [[England]] to rekindle their relationship.<ref>''Avengers Finale'' #1 (November 2004). Marvel Comics.</ref>

As Yellowjacket, Pym is a central character in the ''[[Civil War (comics)|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|Time]]'' magazine for his role in freeing several captive anti-registration heroes.<ref>''Civil War'' #1-7 (June 2006{{spnd}}January 2007). Marvel Comics.</ref> Pym becomes one of the administrators at [[Camp Hammond (comics)|Camp Hammond]], a U.S. military base in [[Stamford, Connecticut]], for the training of registered superheroes in the government program The Initiative.<ref>''Avengers: The Initiative'' #14 (August 2008).

Following the publication of ''Civil War'', Marvel's ''[[Secret Invasion]]'' storyline uses [[Flashback (narrative)|flashback]]s to present the then-current version of the character as an [[Criti Noll|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.<ref>''Mighty Avengers'' #15 (August 2008); ''Secret Invasion'' #1-8 (June 2008{{spnd}}January 2009).

===2020s===
The ''Ant-Man'' miniseries released in 2022 depicts an early Hank Pym being pulled into the future, along with Eric O'Grady and Scott Lang, in an attempt to assist the Ant-Man of the 25th century, [[Ant-Man#Zayn Asghar|Zayn Asghar]].

Sometime later, an old man claiming to be Hank Pym places an artificial personality in Whirlwind's corpse called "Victor Shade".<ref>''Avengers Inc.'' #1. Marvel Comics.</ref> It was later revealed that a fragment of Hank's conscious had separated from All-Father Ultron when he was defeated. The fragment recreated his body which appeared older and he was still paranoid from being Ultron's "meat puppet". What he did to Whirlwind was part of an experiment involving killing and reviving villains into becoming members of his Lethal Legion with help from Black Ant. To his surprise later by the time Wasp and Moon Knight find him, the "Victor Shade" persona ended up being hijacked by Ultron-12 by the time Wasp learned the truth on what happened to Hank as Ultron-12 knocks him out. As Wasp remembers Ultron-12 as the "good Ultron", Ultron-12 stated to Wasp that he went through a soft reboot to protect Hank as Ultron takes over the Lethal Legion. Hank regained consciousness and reunited with Nadia when Ant-Man, Mayor Luke Cage, Stinger, Valkyrie, and Vision arrived as he claims to Nadia that Ultron's no longer in him. He gives Nadia the code for the nano-tech from the future to use while Ultron is distracted as she's got to think big which Ultron-12 agrees with him on. After Ultron was defeated and the nanos reconstructed themselves into a new body for Ultron-12, Hank states that Ultron is not gone for good as the recovering Lethal Legion agree with him on it. Hank then leaves with the Lethal Legion to [[Sub-Atomica]] to regroup and prepare for Ultron's return as part of Protocol S.<ref>''Avengers Inc.'' #2-5. Marvel Comics.</ref>

{{In-universe|section|date=July 2020}}
Hank Pym is a scientific [[genius]] with [[PhD]]s in [[biochemistry]] and [[nanotechnology]] and expertise in the fields of [[quantum physics]], [[robotics]]/[[cybernetics]], [[artificial intelligence]], and [[entomology]]. Pym discovered the subatomic "'''Pym particles'''<!--boldface per WP:R#PLA-->" that enable mass to be shunted or gained from an alternate dimension, thereby changing the size of himself or other beings or objects.<ref name="Origin"/> Pym is the creator of the robot [[Ultron]], whom he created as an experiment after examining [[Dragon Man (comics)|Dragon Man]], showing his knack for AI and cybernetics.<ref name="Ultron" />

After constant experimentation with size-changing via ingested capsules and particle-filled gas, Pym is eventually able to change size at will,{{Volume needed|c=y|date=May 2015}} and mentally generate Pym particles to change the sizes of other living beings or inanimate objects.{{Volume needed|c=y|date=May 2015}} Pym retains his normal strength when "ant" size, and possesses greatly increased strength and stamina when in "giant" form, courtesy of the increased mass. Pym's costume is synthetic stretch fabric composed of [[unstable molecules]] and automatically adapts to his shifting sizes.

Pym also uses a cybernetic helmet he created for achieving rudimentary communication with ants and other higher order insects. As Yellowjacket, then later as Wasp, Pym wears artificial wings and has bio-blasters called "stingers" built into his gloves. He took up the Wasp mantle in memory of Janet, who was believed to be dead at the time.<ref name="Mighty Avengers' 2009"/>

Pym also carries a variety of weaponry, provisions, and scientific instruments, which are shrunken to the size of microchips and stored in the pockets of his uniform.<ref>''Beyond!'' #2 (2007)</ref> An experienced superhero, Pym is a skilled hand-to-hand fighter.  In his first appearance, he claimed to be a master of [[judo]],<ref name="Origin" /> is skilled in [[wrestling]]<ref>''Marvel Monsters: Monsters on the Prowl'' #1 (December 2005)</ref> and [[karate]]<ref>''Tales to Astonish'' #62 (December 1964)</ref> and has since been seen in combat with opponents of both his own size and radically larger than himself (as a result of his size-changing abilities).

During his stay with the [[West Coast Avengers]], Pym constructed a one-man vehicle with artificial intelligence named Rover.<ref name=":0" /> Rover is able to communicate with Pym and is capable of flight and discharging energy and acid.

Back with the [[Avengers (comics)|Avengers]] main team, he built a second Rover, resembling an [[Avengers Quinjet]].{{Volume needed|c=y|date=August 2017}}

After fusing with Ultron, he now contains all of his [[Ultron#Powers and abilities|creation's abilities]] when he is in control.<ref name="Rage"/>
