The Marvel Ant-Man is one of those characters who took some time to get introduced. You can learn about the history of the creation and appearance of the hero from this article.
Character Creation
Ant-Man, like many other comic book heroes, was created by Stan Lee. When he collaborated with Larry Lieber and Jack Kirby, he managed to complete the image of the character that appeared back in 1960. The story about the hero was painted on seven pages, and the story was based on the description of a man in an ant costume. The first Ant Man was the fictional character Hank Pym, who was a biochemist scientist who developed the reduction technology. The experience that the scientist set himself was unsuccessful, and the man was attacked by ants and bees.
History of Ant-Man
According to comics, Pim Hank is the creator of Ultron, which was originally developed as a simple robot, but after some time began to develop its own intelligence. The robot could perform all the actions laid down in it by its creator. Initially, it was created as an assistant for humans. But after some time, he hated people and began to reflect on how to destroy all of humanity. Hank himself experimented many times in the process of searching for his image, but settled on the mask of Ant-Man. After his wife died, the hero for some time was the embodiment of the male version of the Wasp. As soon as the civil war began, cooperation between Stark and Ant-Man began.
Next Ant-Man
There were several people in the image of the Marvel hero of Ant-Man. For example, Scott Mang became the heir to Pym, who was invented by Michelin and Bernan in 1979. Scott Mang is the thief who took the Ant-Man costume from Hank Pym. The main task of Mang was to save his beloved daughter, who has a sick heart, and the only way to get a lot of money is theft. In the past, the attacker was an employee of the security systems installation company, which is why he was able to crack any code without difficulty.
