Avengers: Age Of Ultron - 10 Incredibly Disturbing Comic Moments That Won't Be In The Film

7. Hank Pym: Wife Beater

All superheroes have their failings: Batman is distant and cold, Green Arrow is a womanizer, Spider-Man is really bad with money, Iron Man is a lecherous, drunken cad... but no hero's failing compare to Hank Pym's (Ant-Man, Giant Man, Yellow Jacket, Wasp II). Pym has never truly been recognized as the great intellect he is - perhaps because most of his discoveries have famously come back to bite him. He created Ultron, and though his role in that creation remains to be seen for the movie version, it is a bit more than a "whoops" moment, since the android has proven time and again to be a serious intergalactic threat. Worse yet, Pym is fairly forgettable; despite being the first Ant Man, he isn't the most famous one. Nor is he the most memorable Giant Man. In fact, he really isn't the most memorable of any of his endeavors - even his Distinguished Competitor, The Atom is more well known. It ain't easy being Pym. Through most of his failures he had the love of Janet Van Dyne, The Wasp, and through all the battles and blows against super villains none seemed to hit quite so hard as when Pym - in a maddened state - abused his loving wife by famously striking her down. Hardly the type of behavior one would expect of a founding Avenger. While on Earth 616 this abuse was passed on to a Skrull following the events of Secret Invasion, in the Ultimate Marvel Universe it amounted to a bar alley beating from none other than Captain America. No matter what universe, it wasn't exactly a shining moment for Pym or the Avengers. Whether or not Pym will be in the Age of Ultron remains to be seen as yet, but it's fair to say that if he is he won't be smacking his wife around. That would put a big damper on Michael Douglas's ability to make him likable against Paul Rudd's Ant Man for sure.
