Ant-Man was one of Marvel’s first Silver Age superheroes and a founding member of The Avengers, although the character has taken a vastly different path than his enduring Silver Age compatriots Iron Man, Thor, and Hulk.

Three different Marvel characters have worn the Ant-Man helm, and the only common thread between them is a slightly dubious set of ethics kept in check by their superhero mantles.

The original Ant-Man was Hank Pym, a scientific super-genius who discovered a means to shrink to the size of an ant and control his insect companions. He debuted in a one-off anthology story in Tales to Astonish in keeping with the pulpy sci-fi adventures that preceded the Silver Age in Marvel’s Atlas Era, but quickly made his return when he fit in with Marvel’s new Silver Age super-hero direction.

That made Hank Pym (and his smart and sassy assistant Janet Van Dyne) a perfect founding member for Marvel’s Justice League analog, The Avengers. One insect-size hero was enough, as Pym was quickly upgraded to be “Giant-Man” with the ability to grow super large (and tank for the team in the place of the quickly departed Hulk). Pym anchored the team for its first 16 issues while continuing in Tales to Astonish.

When he later returned to the Avengers, it was with the more hip name of “Goliath” but also in his capacity as a super scientist. It was in this phase that Pym invented Ultron (and, by extension, Vision). However, Pym was also increasingly capricious – frequently changing identities and coming and going from The Avengers.

After Pym abandoned both his Ant-Man and Giant-Man identities, other heroes carried them on. Hawkeye was the first to swipe the Goliath title while Pym was called Yellowjacket. Later, Pym’s assistant Bill Foster would become Black Goliath (and also occasionally Giant-Man).

Scott Lang, an engineer and former criminal, emerged as the second Ant-Man in 1979. He became the primary Ant-Man for a new generation of Bronze Age and Modern Age readers, who knew Hank Pym as an increasingly unreliable and egotistical mad scientist. Lang was never a full-time Avenger, but an occasional hero trying to make up for past wrongs while working for Stark Industries and raising his young daughter Cassie.

Lang would later join the Fantastic Four and become a Hero for Hire, but he never broke out as a solo star past a handful of features in Marvel Comics Presents. That made him a prime candidate to sacrifice to the meat-grinder of Brian Bendis’s Avengers Disassembled in 2005.

In Lang’s absence, another criminal took up the Ant-Man helmet. Eric O’Grady wasn’t much of a scientist, nor was he much of a superhero – he was more motivated by using his power to get out of trouble and harass women. His dubious morality saw him joining Norman Osborn during Dark Reign, but later get his chance of redemption via Steve Rogers in Secret Avengers.

While Avengers vs. X-Men marked a major status quo shift in the Marvel Universe in 2012, a big change in Ant-Man happened alongside it. O’Grady was out (via the final arc of Secret Avengers) and Scott Lang was back (via Avengers: The Children’s Crusade). That allowed Lang to return front-and-center in Marvel Now as part of Matt Fraction’s replacement Fantastic Four in FF and in Jason Aaron’s Original Sin.

With a feature film on the way for this Scott Lang, who had never even had an entire story arc to himself, Ant-Man graduated to his second ongoing title (and Lang’s first) in 2015. It was quickly cut short by Secret Wars but restarted immediately after.

The present-day Scott Lang Ant-Man is virtually an all-different character from his early 1980s incarnation. He’s much less of a capable engineer and reliable father, and much more of the lovable screw-up portrayed by Paul Rudd in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Where to Start Reading Ant-Man

Scott Lang is the Ant-Man of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. If you want to read the majority of his comic exploits, most of them are handily collected in just three volumes! The first two both make fine starting points.

Ant-Man: Scott Lang (2015 paperback, ISBN 978-0785192664 / digital) – This collection picks up Scott Lang from his first appearance in 1979 and collects the first few years of his major stories. This version of Lang is more of a former criminal screw-up and less of the lovable goof from the MCU.

The Astonishing Ant-Man: The Complete Collection (2018 paperback, ISBN 978-1302911324 / digital) – This collection includes both writer Nick Spencer’s run across two Ant-Man series. He writes Scott Lang very much in the mold of his MCU character. Many of these stories will feel like small-time capers he pulls between the Ant-Man films.

Ant-Man: The Saga of Scott Lang (2023 paperback, 978-1302950651 / digital) – This collection includes three unconnected miniseries from 2018-2020, plus a pair of one-shot stories. If you are less interested in ongoing story continuity and just want some fun, stand-alone adventures, this is a fine book to sample!

If you are looking for one of the other major Ant-Men:

  • For Hank Pym you should pick up Marvel Epic Collection Vol. 1: The Man in the Ant Hill (2015 paperback, ISBN 978-0785198505 / digital) and Vol. 2: Ant-Man No More (2023 paperback, ISBN 978-1302949655 / digital)
  • For Eric O’Grady, grab The Irredeemable Ant-Man (2009 paperback, ISBN 978-0785140863)

Hank Pym, The Original Ant-Man

Hank Pym was one of the earliest of the Silver Age Avengers to debut in the pages of Marvel comics. He first appeared in January 1962 – a few months prior to Hulk, six months before Spider-Man, and and over a year before Iron Man!

However, Hank Pym was not a superhero in his first appearance in Tales To Astonish (1959) #27. He was simply a scientist who had figured out how to shrink himself down to ant-size in a vaguely horrific anthology tale. It wasn’t until Stan Lee and Jack Kirby returned to the character in issue #35 that the heroic Ant-Man we know was created.

This guide covers Hank Pym through his original run of a superheroism through his incarnation as Yellowjacket. After that his heroic appearances become more scant.

Hank Pym began his career as a solo scientist who figured out to control ants and shrink to their size. Abandoning his scientific pursuits for heroism, he christened himself Ant-Man. [Marvel Unlimited]

Hank Pym, Giant-Man & Avenger (1963 – 1966)

Bill Foster, Black Goliath and Giant-Man

Dr. William Foster makes his debut in Avengers (1963) #32 as a Stark Industries biochemist who becomes Hank Pym’s assistant when he is stuck at the height of 10-feet tall in his Giant-Man identity.

Foster continues to recur as Pym’s assistant (and, eventually, partner) through the end of his initial membership as Yellowjacket in Avengers #75 (and again in an appearance after Pym’s return as Ant-Man in Marvel Feature).

Foster makes his first appearance as Black Goliath as a villain, albeit a hypnotized one, in Luke Cage before graduating to his own title in 1976. Later, he appears as Giant-Man after Hank Pym has permanently relinquished the name.

Scott Lang, The Reluctant Ant-Man

With Hank Pym ping ponging between multiple tiny and giant identities, Marvel introduced a new Ant-man in Scott Lang. Lang is a fascinating new generation of messed-up Marvel characters – not a super-scientist, but a former convict and competent electrical engineer, and not a ladies’ man, but a divorced single parent.

After his initial run of Avengers appearances, Scott Lang settles into a double life where mainly works for Stark Industries but occasionally moonlights as Ant-Man when it can help his friends (none of whom know his secret identity at first, save for Hank Pym and Janet Van Dyne).

Marvel Super Hero Contest Of Champions (1982): See Guide to Marvel Universe Events: Contest of Champions. Scott Lang cameos in #1 and is implied in #2-3

Lang cameos amongst a crowd of heroes in Marvel Two-In-One (1974) #96

Avengers (1963) #229: See Guide to Avengers (1963-1996). Lang appears briefly in plain clothes to make a delivery from Stark Industries (and hinting at Tony Stark and Iron Man’s complete disappearance)

Scott Lang does not appear in Incredible Hulk (1968) #285, as listed in some guides. It contains a flashback to Pym in the costume, not Scott. Similarly, he is implied in a flashback in Wonder Man (1986) #1 but does not appear on panel.

ROM, Spaceknight (1979) #58-59: Not collected. Lang rides a flying ant into the scene of a Canadian flood also attended to by members of Alpha Flight to follow up on a referral from the Avengers after their issue #245. Issue #58 is a full-on Scott Lang feature, with him as the main POV character. He abandons ROM’s battle in the opening pages of issue #59 to “warn humanity of their peril” should ROM fail.

Avengers (1963) #275-277: See Guide to Avengers (1963-1996). This is a key appearance that should have been included in the collection above! In issue #275, Scott Lang appears in a hospital to comfort Janet Van Dyne while she awaits the fate of one of her teammates. At the end of the issue, Janet and Scott are effectively the only two members of the Avengers to face down the Masters of Evil! Lang helps her reassemble the team in issue #276. He cameos watching over Jarvis during the climactic fight in issue #277.

Scott Lang Returns! (2010 – 2012)

Scott Lang seemingly dies in Avengers Disassembled, leaving his daughter Cassie behind to join Young Avengers. He later returns just shy of Marvel Now, which is covered below.

Avengers: The Children’s Crusade (2010) #5-9: See Guide Young Avengers or Guide Marvel Universe Events: Children’s Crusade

After Children’s Crusade: Battle Scars (2012) #3, Defenders (2012) #11-12, AVX: VS (2012) #6

Scott Lang is treated as the primary Ant-Man from Marvel Now forward. Jump to Marvel Now below to continue following his story.

Eric O’Grady, The Recidivist Ant-Man

While Scott Lang is presumed dead, Eric O’Grady stumbles into a life as Ant-Man in a similar fashion to Lang: he’s a cheat trying to profit off of Pym’s technology.

The difference is that O’Grady is just a not-great dude underneath the helmet, as opposed to Lang who is just a big of a screw-up. That gives Eric O’Grady’s adventures more of a mean-spirited, punching-down vibe than any of the prior characters – something that Walking Dead creator Robert Kirkman leans into with vicious glee in Irredeemable Ant-Man.

O’Grady’s story as Ant-Man ends with Secret Avengers prior to Secret Wars; he appears later as “Black Ant,” but is no longer tracked by this guide.

All-New, All-Different Marvel & Marvel Legacy (2015 – 2017)

Marvel re-launched their entire line of comics at the end of 2015 in the wake of their universe-destroying Secret Wars. That lead to major creative shake-ups on many big titles, but supporting titles were often able to continue with the same creative teams and storylines. Ant-Man was one of the latter, with Nick Spencer continuing his run with a sad-sack Scott Lang who struggles mightily to stay on the right side of the law.

When the series ended after only a year, Spencer continued writing Lang through his Secret Empire event, before finally relinquishing the character to Gerry Duggan in Guardians of the Galaxy at the start of Marvel Legacy.
