Can someone fill me in on Hank Pym? I'm interested in him because I think growing big is a cool power, but don't know if there's an iconic run or if the character is even worth getting into.

Is being contrarian that fun? I like superheroes, therefore I read big two.

>Built a robot supervillain that requires all of the Avengers to routinely stop

That's just it, OP. Probably a guy who didn't have bad intentions but just cannot stop colossally fucking up.

Would an 'Evil' Pym try to kill everyone but improve their lives instead?

Like if people would've found all of Syndrome's tech on his island by the end of The Incredibles and it'd transform society into The Jetsons' Earth?
Might be nice.

An evil Hank Pym would be like Ultron, but not hung up on weird parental issues, and be so catastrophically successful entire alien empires would fall to him.
Matthew Thomas
Nothing contrarian about it. There's other actual good comics out there. Stop being a shill for a company that hates your guts.

also that remender graphic novel where pym and ultron merged

That was trash, though.

Hank Pym is essentially what happens when a mad scientist is a good person, but God decrees he has to be a supervillain.
Grayson Howard
I liked this one, someone once said that Pym is the little working ant that will try to do whatever his colony needs.
Ian Gutierrez
you are fucking retarded, Rage of Ultron was the best thing Marvel had released in YEARS!
Adam Robinson
Are you stupid? Avengers AI featuring Hank was from the same era and did more to develop the character. Remember just regressed him.
Isaac Bailey
Hank will never be fully away from his mental anxieties and Rage of Ultron was a way to move him forward and address his anxieties. for one, it really does a good job of establishing that Hank does, in a way, love Ultron, other books have done it but it was done here in such an emotional manner. And then how he is defeated is really well done, "Love Thyself" is something Pym has Never ever been able to do...during Busiek's run he only managed to accept himself, not love himself.
Ethan Thomas
>Hank will never be fully away from his mental anxieties
From his illnesses, no. From Ultron, yes. He was over that. Crap writers keep rehashing the same plots over and over.
>Rage of Ultron was a way to move him forward
By bringing him backwards? It's clear you haven't read Avengers AI. He was fully moving forward there. Your shitty story ignored continuity for the sake of its writer ego and to 'leave a mark'.
Jeremiah Brown
ya, Avengers AI is one of the few Pym stories (from the 2000s on) that I haven't read...I honestly just keep forgetting about it. my bad. I will get on reading that.
Still, Rage of Ultron is one of my favorite modern Marvel comics. And it's very well liked on most sites, including Yea Forums. This is the first time I have seen someone on this board shit on Rage of Ultron
Lincoln Morris
I couldn't care less about the consensus. You love it because you haven't read many comics from that era, so you think its quality is rare. It's a comic by casuals, for casuals.
Owen Bailey
>I couldn't care less about the consensus
good for you, I don't love it cause others do, I love it cause it's a great Hank Pym story. Characters being brought back is always a thing in the Big 2, if you hate it so much why the hell would you read big 2 comics? Everyone will eventually be regressed to their "iconic moment". For Hank that is Ultron, it will ALWAYS be Ultron.
Hudson Bell
About to make a hero called The Scientist Supreme on city of heroes. Should he be a mastermind using robots or an energy blaster??
Carson Adams
>it's a great Hank Pym story
No, a story that disrespects the character's history is not a great Hank Pym story. You love it because it's flashy and big like a popcorn movie and you can understand it if you only know the basics.
Angel Rivera
Robut's ofc
Matthew Martin
>You love it because it's flashy and big like a popcorn movie
fuck right off. Yes, I missed your dog fucker's story, but it respects the character.
Aiden Stewart
He’s bi polar and trying his best to be a hero and also has an inferiority complex
Read a fuck load of Avengers, he’s good
Ryder Flores
>it respects the character
>by regressing all his development
hahahahahaha
Xavier Smith
I don't think Big 2 books are for you
Ayden Sanchez
No, no, stay on topic. Do explain how doing that is "respectful".
Kevin James
Yeah thought of that, was going for this look what do you think?
Adam Evans
it honors the core of the character, honors his relationship with Ultron
Wyatt Flores
In your mind regressing back his health is "honouring"? If he slapped Janet again, because that's his most popular story and hence the core of his character, it would be "honourable"?
Jaxson Gutierrez
>If he slapped Janet again, because that's his most popular story
oh fuck off, quit false flagging. His most popular story is Ultron Unbound
Joshua Flores
The slap is still part of his core. So answer my question, if he slapped her again it would be "honouring" in your twisted mind?
Jeremiah Watson
FPBP
Ryder Cooper
no it is not a part of his core. The only hack writers that thought that were Bendis and Millar who just used it to shit on the character at every chance they got. Why are you purposefully being so dense?
Connor Rodriguez
As a filthy casual Rage of Ultron was a really good standalone from only knowing cursory knowledge of Pym.
Benjamin Wood
Why are YOU being so dense? Ultron went on to take part of the bigger Marvel universe, even becoming a cosmic villain. Hank's life didn't revolve around him. When he came back from being replaced by a Skrull, his only concern was whether he had slapped Janet. When Casey retold the entirety of the Silver Age, Ultron was a footnote while the slap was his entire character arc.
Juan Reed
I'd argue that while the slap shouldn't be made part of his core character he's still a damaged individual and that aspect works well for stories he's the focus of.
Christopher Young
Recommendations? I love East of West, Hellboy, Bone, and Invincible.
Joseph Miller
Hellboy & Bone definitely. I also dig Resident Alien & Blacksad. Maybe Lastman if you don't mind waiting for the next 3 volumes or so to get translated.
