This has taken a toll on Hank and he now feels very regretful of his actions and in his remorse, has joined the pro-registration agenda in order to prevent any further abuse of power and avoid anything like what he has committed in the past.<br/><br/><div align="center"><strong><span class="bbc_u">Background</span></strong></div><br/>A brilliant physicist, Hank Pym discovered a means of increasing and decreasing molecular density and dubbed the substance responsible for controlling these fluctuations 'Pym Particles'. Among other discoveries, such as a means of telepathically controlling insects, particularly ants, and after successfully managing to shrink himself without side effects, took up the mantle Ant-Man to make a difference in the world by fighting crime invisibly. It wasn't the easiest job in the world and there were many missteps, but he soon joined the Avengers and, when part of a team, was a much more effective superhero, but never stopped working on his projects, always wanting to improve his performance and those of his teammates.<br/><br/>Soon he was able to increase his size as well, becoming Goliath, in addition to his traditional Ant-Man persona, to have a wider variety of utility in various situations. He met and married Janet Van Dyne, whom he equipped with similar technology to that of his own and enabled her to become fellow Avenger teammate The Wasp. But even true love couldn't tear Hank away from his first love, science, and Hank and Janet paid a terrible price for letting him continue down the path he would eventually live to regret. No amount of financial success, that would put him among the ranks of Tony Stark as an entrepreneur and corporate giant, would comfort him.<br/><br/>Now alone, but with a hard lesson learned and reflected upon, Hank wishes to atone for all of it, and will stand for registration in hopes that not only will he prevent future such tragedies, but clean his own terribly stained slate. It doesn't hurt that he's also got his own prison complex, the Ant Hill, for the express purpose of keeping especially dangerous supervillains under lock and key and in a shrunken state to minimize the harm they can do if they should happen to escape, which has already added to his mentality of wanting to maintain control and regulation.<br/><br/><hr/><br/><div align="center"><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 14pt;"><span class="bbc_u"><strong>Skills and Equipment</strong></span></span></div><br/><div align="center"><span class="bbc_u"><strong>Skills</strong></span></div><br/><strong>Scientist and Engineer:</strong>Hank is a genius scientist and engineer but has few talents for someone who would be employed as a soldier. He can repair broken devices of almost any sort unless they're extremely technical such as that of the Iron Man armor patented by Tony Stark or some of Reed Richards' devices. He's also a robotics expert but has misgivings about taking up that kind of project again after the Ultron fiasco.<br/><br/><strong>Experienced Avenger:</strong>Hank isn't trained in combat to the extent of his comrades but his versatile size changes and insect armies serve as adequate equipment for superheroics. His experience over the years has made him a competent fighter but he'd never match the likes of any of his teammates without his equipment.<br/><br/><br/><div align="center"><span class="bbc_u"><strong>Equipment</strong></span></div><br/><strong>Insect Control Helmet:</strong>Using his brainwaves to broadcast a telepathic signal into the minds of any insects within a range of roughly 500 feet, Hank can force these creatures to do his bidding in any way they are physically capable.<br/><br/><strong>Pym Particle Regulator:</strong>With manual adjustment, Hank can alter his physical size down to that of an insect or up to the size of a three-story building. When small, his weight decreases proportionally so his movements are more swift and he can ride a flying insect with no problems, but he retains his full-sized physical strength. When giant-sized, though, his weight and strength both increase proportionately, though his movements slow accordingly. He can deactivate his regulator to further shrink or grow, but beyond those limits, he risks losing all control of his size.<br/><br/><strong>Pym Particle Throwing Discs:</strong>Loaded with doses of Pym Particles, Hank can throw these at any person or object and increase or decrease their size to a variety of possible proportions to fit a particular situation. Even after a battle is over, it can be useful to shrink an enemy and imprison them within his miniature detention facility, the Ant Hill. Or if an enemy is extremely fast, he can enlarge them to the point where they become an easy target, despite their strength also increasing. These do come with risks, however, and are rarely employed unless absolutely necessary.<br/><br/><hr/><br/><div align="center"><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 14pt;"><span class="bbc_u"><strong><strong>Weaknesses</strong></strong></span></span></div><br/><strong>Emotional State:</strong>Hank's emotional state is very vulnerable. It is very easy to get him agitated or use his own guilt to paralyze him. His allies may also still harbor mistrust of him, and even if they don't, he feels insecure about it and believes that they do.<br/><br/><strong>Giant Form Fatigue:</strong>His movements slow down dramatically when enlarged as well as losing control of his insect allies. Also, staying in giant form too long can take a toll on his vital functions. Not to mention being bigger means being a bigger target and exposing his vulnerable points like his regulator to attack, or having tracking or recording devices planted on him without him knowing.<br/><br/><strong>Dangerous Equipment:</strong>If any of his equipment is damaged, he can be stuck in whatever size he happens to be in at the time until it's repaired (or at worst, he'll continue to shrink until he goes subatomic which may make it impossible to return from, or may continue growing until his body is ripped apart). Also his discs have the potential to inadvertently shrink his allies if he misses his target (or enlarge his enemies) and even after all this time, his aim still isn't expertly tuned so he is hesitant to use them.<br/><br/><hr/><br/><div align="center"><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 14pt;"><span class="bbc_u"><strong>Other</strong></span></span></div><br/>It is possible for Hank to have been suffering such a severe delusion, that he may have imagined a great deal of what has happened, so if anyone wanted to play the Wasp and disagrees with the history I've outlined, they can freely revise it and chalk Hank's version of it up to him being mentally unstable.
