Scott Lang

Scott Lang is a former criminal and ex-con man who becomes a superhero shortly after being released from prison. Scott is a man of justice, honor and good morals to the point of being stubborn, he is a loving father, as he loves his daughter Cassie very much.

When he became a criminal he only did it to provide for his daughter, as well as the fact that he couldn't get a job because of his record of him being a criminal. Upon meeting Hank Pym, Scott realizes he has a chance to become a hero, the kind of father that his daughter deserves, and without hesitation, he agrees to become the new Ant-Man, mainly because of his sense of justice, honor and good morals. Scott even joined Captain America's faction during the Avengers Civil War for the same reasons, he also saw Steve Rogers' point of view on the Sokovia Accords far more just and honorable than Tony Stark's.

Christine Everhart revisited Scott Lang's story three years after he was sent to prison as Scott was being released from prison two years early. The day before Scott's release, Everhart interviewed him on live TV. Scott was outraged by what she said and argued his point forcing his guard to tase him.

Abilities

Size Manipulation : Using technology developed by Hank Pym, Scott is able to reduce himself to approximately the size of an ant. He still maintains his regular sized strength and resilience when shrinking; while in reduced scale, this translates to granting him inhuman effort and exertion capabilities. Also, obtaining momentum and kinetic energy in small scale and exerting it immediately while returning to or right after returning to normal size can result in a feat of inhuman effort and exertion, and therefore, momentarily give Scott enhanced strength while in regular size. The process of changing size causes a brief shock wave aura around him, which can charge him with enough momentum to send someone flying through the air immediately after returning to normal size. During the Civil War, Ant-Man shows off the new capabilities of his new suit and uses the Pym Particles to transform into Giant-Man. With his increased size he was able to hold his own against Iron Man's team on his own for awhile and was able to corner Black Panther and removed Spider-Man from the fight. While eventually beaten, he took the combined might of Iron Man, War Machine, Vision and Spider-Man to defeat him.
- Superhuman Strength : While wearing the Ant-Man suit in its miniature form, Scott possesses superhuman strength due to his increased density and compressed energy, enabling him to take out multiple opponents while in small scale. He is said to have the force of a bullet when shrunken, which led him to learn unique fighting skills to avoid killing someone with his strikes. As Giant-Man he was strong enough to actually cause harm to Spider-Man, enough to actually take him out of the fight.
- Superhuman Durability : After debuting his Giant-Man form, Scott's durability was shown to have drastically increased taking full force punches from Iron Man and War Machine as well as numerous explosives and repulsor shots from Iron Man and War Machine. After he was beaten he willingly reverted back to normal size and was still conscious but a very sore.
- Insect Communication : Scott, through the use of radio and electric waves and signals accessed with the suit's helmet, can communicate with organisms the size of insects, especially ants, mimicking their pheromones and allowing him a rudimentary form of control over these insects.

Other Abilities

Genius-Level Intellect : Scott possesses an above average intelligence, as he was able to figure out how to use the highly complex and gain a Masters Degree in electrical engineering, along with bypassing the security of Hank Pym's home. He also possesses a knowledge of chemistry which allowed him to destroy Hank's safe.
Expert Thief : Scott is skilled in theft, specializing in breaking into homes and other places to steal. He is also skilled with utilizing chemistry when opening locked safes and bypassing security systems.
Expert Engineer : Scott was an electrical engineer, having earned a master's degree in the subject. His knowledge was useful when he was able to tinker a way out of the Quantum Realm using tech pieces provided by Hank Pym.
Expert Acrobat : Scott is capable of acrobatic maneuvers, leaping across steep divides and climbing difficult structures. He does not just perform these stunts in his shrunken state, but also when breaking into houses while in the process of thievery.
Computer Programmer : Scott created the security systems for Vistacorp Headquarters and corrected a program that was stealing money from its customers. Christine Everhart referred to Scott as a "cyber-criminal".
Expert Tactician : As a former expert thief, Scott has a keen mind for formulating elaborate plans and schemes, and is especially notable for being able to modify those plans to adapt to unforeseen circumstances at short notice - sometimes within seconds. Examples include when he discovers the fingerprint scanner in Hank Pym's home, when he discovers that the warehouse he is breaking into is actually now the New Avengers Facility, when he is discovered by Falcon, and when Darren Cross triples security on the Pym Technologies building. He, alongside Hope van Dyne and Hank Pym, worked together on creating the heist mission to stop Darren Cross and steal the Yellowjacket suit. During the Avengers Civil War, he single handily comes up with and creates a diversion when revealing his Giant-Man form, which demanded the entire attention of Iron Man's team.
Expert Hand-to-hand Combatant : Scott initially had poor fighting skills as he avoided confrontations during his heists. Hope van Dyne trained him and he slowly became an excellent fighter. His fighting skills combined with the Ant-Man suit allowed him to defeat armed security personnel and even keep up with Falcon. As Giant-Man, he was able to corner Black Panther and hold off Spider-Man, Iron Man and War Machine on his own for some time.

Weaknesses

Limited Mobility : Although Scott possesses superhuman strength and durability when he is in his Giant-Man form, this also limits his mobility; making him slightly clumsy.

Equipment

Ant-Man helmet : Allows Scott to communicate and control ants.
Ant-Man suit : Allows Scott to shrink or grow in size.
Pym Discs : Allows Scott to use small discs to either shrink or enlarge objects and creatures.
