10 Revelations That Will Make You See Iconic Screen Superheroes Very Differently

7. Ants Practice Slavery

Ant-Man can shrink to the size of ants and control them so he can simultaneously have the largest, and smallest army on Earth. In the comic world, Ant-Man is a founding member of the Avengers, but in the cinematic universe, he has yet to be introduced into the fold, though that will change very soon with Paul Rudd and Michael Douglas set to play different versions of the man behind the mask. As one of the future members of the Avengers, it'd be a shame if any incriminating evidence were to come forward before his new movie comes out like, oh say, condoning slavery. Some species of ants are known to capture the unborn of other ant colonies, and force them to work or die. Warrior ants can't do certain things very easily like eating, so they steal the children of fallen adversaries and force them to feed them like all those movies where Romans are fed grapes. So yeah, by controlling the ants with his helmet, Ant-Man is actually double enslaving these poor ants. He could use this power for the better and release the ants from their captivity, but instead he's all, "sorry I know I promised, but I can't set you free", like Aladdin did to Robin Williams. In a post 12 Years A Slave world, enslaving a billion critters might be the riskiest move Marvel has done to date. Also ants have a hive mind, which must make it kind of odd when Ant-Man has to use the toilet and one trillion ants become aware of it. Let's see Edgar Wright tackle that issue.
