'''Ant-Man''' is the codename of three characters in the [[Marvel Universe]]: Hank Pym, Scott Lang, and Eric O'Grady.
'''Dr. Henry "Hank" Pym'''
Line 21:
'''Eric O'Grady'''
The third Ant-Man, Eric O'Grady was created by Robert Kurkman and Phil Hester. He first appeared in ''The Irredeemable Ant-Man #1'' (September, 2006). Introduced as a low-level [[SHIELD|S.H.I.E.L.D.]] agent assigned to the [[Airborne Aircraft Carrier|Helicarrier]], Eric O'Grady was the kind of guy who'd lie, cheat, and steal his way through life. Fortune struck one day when O'Grady and his best friend, Chris McCarthy, are put on guard duty outside Dr. Hank Pym's lab after [[Wolverine]]'s dead body is brought aboard. Brainwashed by HYDRA, Wolverine is revived and starts killing everyone in sight. Panicking, O'Grady knocks Dr. Pym unconscious when the alarms start blaring. Messing around with the prototype Ant-Man suit in Hank's lab, Chris becomes trapped at insect size, causing O'Grady to panic again as HYDRA launches a full-scale attack on the helicarrier. Lost in the Helicarrier, Chris returns to full size only to be shot in the head. Looking for a place to hide, O'Grady stumbles across Chris's dead body and steals the Ant-Man suit. The Helicarrier sustains heavy damage during the attack, eventually crash landing in Arkansas. Surviving the crash, O'Grady retains his job as S.H.I.E.L.D agent during the day while experimenting with the Ant-Man suit at night.

* ''[[Ant-Man (film)|Ant-Man]]'':
* ''[[Captain America: Civil War]]'': The next MCU installment, in 2016, had Scott Lang recruited to fight in Captain America's side.
* ''[[Ant-Man and the Wasp]]'': The 2018 sequel, also by Peyton Reed.
* ''[[Avengers: Endgame]]'': Again an ''Ant-Man'' movie led to him appearing in the crossover that followed, and the 2019 epic had much plot importance to Scott Lang's contributions.
* ''[[Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania]]'': The third solo movie, released in 2023 and again directed by Peyton Reed.

=== Tropes common to all versions of Ant-Man: ===
* [[Animal Theme Naming]]: Ant-Man, obviously. Hank Pym also used the code names Yellowjacket and Wasp.
* [[Animal-Themed Superbeing]]
Line 92 ⟶ 96:
* [[What the Hell, Hero?|What The Hell, Hero]]: Pym has gotten this more than a few times, but probably the biggest came when Pym led the Mighty Avengers. It turned out a member of their team, the [[Scarlet Witch]], had in fact been [[Loki]] in disguise as part of one of his trademark evil schemes. Pym's response was to ask the God of Evil to join the Avengers for real. Every person in the room, including Loki himself, reacted this way, and his Avengers team actually broke up for a time on the grounds that Pym was either too crazy or too stupid to lead them.
* [[Working with the Ex]]: Hank and Janet continued to work together as Avengers even when she started dating other men. It was awkward for both.
* [[Wrathful Wasps]]: Yellowjacket is the superhero identity Hank Pym assumed during the mental breakdown that led to his brief outing as a supervillain: after being court-martialed for excessive force, Hank would create a robot that would endanger the Avengers while he would stop it and make himself look like a hero in an insane, desperate bid to avoid punishment. However, this stunt is greatly overshadowed by him striking his wife in a fit of mania, and despite Jim Shooter intending it to be the result wild, careless gesturing, the artist decided to frame it as him intentionally, viciously slapping her to the ground which has saddled him with the [[Never Live It Down|reputation of being an unstable wife-beater]] that he's never been able to entirely shake.
