Ant-Man is one of Marvel comic books' most iconic and long-standing heroes and the Henry "Hank" Pym version of the character is the most famous by quite a long way. In spite of this, the character is relatively unknown beyond comic book fans, but that is set to be rectified as 2015 will see the character get his own titular movie and become a part of the hugely popular and successful Marvel Cinematic Universe franchise. That said, the version that the title of the film refers to will not be Hank Pym, but Pym will be in the movie as an older man no longer capable of heroic activities and he will be played by the wonderful Michael Douglas - and it's Pym that this article will be referring to. Hank Pym was a biophysicist and Security Operations Centre expert prior to his discovery of "Pym Particles", which enabled him to alter his size, after which he used the ability to become a superhero. He also developed technology which enabled him to communicate with and indeed control ants. He co-founded the Avengers and went on to be an integral part of the team, adopting different monikers in addition to "Ant-Man" as he sought to reinvent himself and utilise his Pym Particles in alternative ways. In this article, you'll find out more about the upcoming movie hero than you otherwise knew.
