9 Best Comic Book Insults Ever

4. Ultimate Captain America And Ant-Man: "Now Change Size..."

Spider Man Deadpool
Marvel Comics

In one of the darker panels in Marvel history, Ant-Man, under the influence and stress of his new 'Yellowjacket' persona, struck his wife Janet (A.K.A The Wasp) to the floor. A moment that has haunted Pym even in his most recent comic outings.

The Ultimate universe, as it did with most of its heroes, went on to alter and re-write this key moment of Ant-Man history. Ultimate Hank Pym not only physically abused Janet, but went as far as forcibly shrinking her down and letting her be savaged by an army of ants. Steve Rogers, learning of this monstrous abuse, set out to teach Pym a lesson.

Dragging the weedy scientist out of a bar, Rogers wasn't content with just pummelling an abusive man, he wanted to pummel an abusive giant. Delivering one of the most badass insults in Marvel history, Steve pins Pym against a wall and commands him to change size to "Give [him] something to hit."

A satisfying moment of justice for a monstrous man, Captain America verbally abusing Pym into becoming a few stories tall for the sake of fairness will go down as one of the more awe-inspiring insults ever seen in comic books.
