Fan Creations Fan Comic: "Pym"

7 Upvotes

Working on a fan-made comic series. It's a series focused on a Hank Pym from a slightly different continuty than the 616 universe. I can't draw, so it's just the script. Below is the description followed by Issue 1 if anyone has some time to kill. I thought some fellow ant fans might enjoy it.

PYM:
Steve Rogers puts his trust in the inherent goodness of people. Peter Park believes ordinary people can do extraordinary acts. The X-Men fight because they have faith that the better angels of human nature will push them to resist the temptation to hate and fear. But not Hank Pym.

Pym’s views are far less idealistic: there is no faith in the triumph of the human spirit here. Through years of study, experimentation, and his own mistakes, Pym has come to the conclusion that fear, pride, ego, tribalism, and insecurity aren’t exceptions to human nature… they ARE human nature. With every brilliant invention for the good of humankind, Pym also must consider and prepare for how his work can be perverted by those who would commit acts of evil. But where some might see this as nihilism, Pym turns this philosophy into his own version of hope: a species so beautiful yet so flawed deserves to be protected. 

“Pym” is a comic series that re-imagines and modernizes the early days of the Marvel universe through the lens of the flawed but caring hero Henry Pym. While the other heroes are about daring and spectacle, Pym takes position as the Marvel universe’s foremost philosopher-scientist: a hero less interested in punching villains than understanding their place in the flawed human tapestry.  He will not give in to nihilism. Far from believing that these weaknesses are a call to tighten control over people, Pym believes humanity’s weakness should make us more patient, more accountable, and more deserving of second chances.

Through reimagined Tales to Astonish villains like Egghead, Whirlwind, Porcupine, and The Voice  - alongside some rogues gallery imports from the larger Marvel universe - Pym will confront the mechanisms of cruelty and evil head on… including the ones inside himself.

I actually think this might be first ever fastball special in the MCU. That tiny to Giant-Man jumpscare is such a good move that would make up for how slow being Giant size is, they should use it more.

So I wanna go as classic Ant-Man for an upcoming convention, I've just recently finished the helmet, and don't really feel like working on anything else. Are there any classic suits I can find online, or would I have to make it at home?

So, I've been working on ideas for an "Absolute" Marvel Universe, and I've been working my way through the Main 6 avengers, but for the life of me, I can't come up with anything for Hank and Janet, so I'm asking if anyone has any ideas, what would you change about the pair, or, like with Absolute GL, would you focus on other characters who've taken up the titles, please let me know what you come up with

Fan Creations Working on some little AU for the lil fellows

For months i've been attempting to somehow "redeem" Hank and Janet, so i went on my way to make it work 'better'. (Obviously some specific traits still remain in characters).

Here's somewhat VERY short summaries for the main characters:

• Dr. Henry J. Pym: the smartest student in Grayburn college & one of the smartest people alive, Hank has Vernon Van Dyne's most trustworthy assistant in the scientific field, and the Pym Particles gave Hank a chance to show the world that in the right hands & mind, anything can be possible. After the assassination of his mentor, though, Hank went on his way to continue part of the legacy alongside Janet Van Dyne, and the friendly pair quickly became the iconic Ant-man & Wasp duo.

• Janet Van Dyne: As Vernon van dyne's beloved daughter, Janet could be considered a spoiled girl, but she was a fan of mutual support to her surroundings, and made sure to share her ideas with the world through fashion. Being a pretty successful student in Grayburn college, she was always noticed by the 'rats' of the school, such as her "friend" Hope (in this AU, the Red Queen is entirely separate from the Pym family tree, and Hope isn't the daughter of Hank & Janet at all). After her father's assassination, Janet went on to become the Wasp through the mutual support of Hank, one of her closest friends, and the two have become the iconic heroic duo.

• Darren Cross: Hank's friend since highschool, Darren has always been a pest, in a way. He always seemed to try and chime his way into Hank's experiments, attempt to gain credit and steal some of the ideas, all while masking himself as a trustworthy friend. His plans would be ruined though as soon as Hank crossed paths with Janet. After some years, Darren would come across an enhanced & stolen Yellowjacket suit, and take on the evil alter ego 'Yellowjacket-III', wishing revenge on his old friend.

• Ultron: The manifestation of Hank's insecurities & dark thoughts, a very personal rogue to him and his legacy. During his existence, Ultron would constantly alter himself, seeking perfection after different failures, the same way Hank did with his experiments & projects. Eventually, he'd become the Pyms' true villain, making sure they would join his crusade of metal & despair, feeling the 'pain' he had felt by being rejected so soon in the past.

-- There's a lot more backstories, but overrall, the intent of the AU is to simply make it less stereotypical like back in the day, actually stick to a more ""friendly"" version of the story, so essentially, Hank & Janet are around the same age, the Yellowjacket persona has a different origin, without any random chemical mixture messing up Hank's brain (somehow) or any sort of heavy abuse, and etc.

-- Some of the more notable villains within the AU will mostly be Eric'O'Grady (who starts off as a hitman rather than a rogue SHIELD agent, and has always been going by the alias of Black Ant, because of how smart yet 'small'/hard he was to find, and eventually turning said alias into a whole villain alter ego), Atlas, Red Queen, Professor Egghead, Ultron and The Living Eraser.

-- The AU includes the Avengers, X-men & Fantastic Four, but they are a lesser focus. All i can say, though, is that in this AU Hank & Reed are good friends and have actually shared the same highschool, making their friendly bond come from also childhood.

-- A lot of focus on the rogue gallery for Ant-man since Marvel seems to forget about it often.

Nonetheless, all of this is still a big WIP.

I feel like few actors are able to so perfectly sell an inferiority complex and the silent rage and annoyed moments that go along with it like hes been able to in It's Always Sunny in Phillidelphia. I could picture him getting so annoyed at Tony Stark in the MCU having moments where he keeps reminding people how it was his idea or his tech that actually saved that day when hes past over for the glory, or having Tony make some snide comment and it clearly irritates him as he tries to act unbothered. Taking Hank Pym's issues and turning them into something entertaining and funny as he eventually crashes out unable to enjoy all of his own success because of petty things. If only marvel decided to have fun with and tweak Hank to fit the MCU mass appeal setting instead of pushing him to the side lines.

They could have done a movie where Scott steals the Ant-Man suit after Hank moves onto a Giant Man persona and then let's him keep the suit after they work together to stop some villian, and then later on getting really annoyed at people calling him the old Ant-Man instead of Giant-Man insisting that they arent that different in age while also telling people that it was his suit and tech that saved the day and he is really the hero when the glory goes go Scott lol.

So whenever we get the ant man characters to the game, I feel like the devs should approach him as different roles. Here me out, you have ant-man (scott Lang or others) as a duelist. He could become around shin sized with less health, but with slight speed and maybe damage buffs. And maybe he could have a flight ability on a long cooldown or a meter. Then you would have a giant man (Hank Pym) as a vanguard. He'd have one of the lower amounts of hp but with good movement, but he'd have his giant form on either a cool down like strangest portal or Adam warlocks revive. Or it would be his ultimate like the Hulk. Where he'd be able to walk through destructable aspects of the maps and maybe throw enemies on a decently long cool down.

And if they added the wasp, I feel she could work as a strategist.

Scott Lang became Antman after Hank Pym became Yellowjacket but why did Hank became a bad guy? Did he not want to really be a superhero to begin with? Then why join the Avengers? Is he too much of a showoff is that why Reed Richards Bruce Banner and Tony Stark don't work with him (that really has nothing with being a villian but I am wondering is that why)?
