Avengers #213, written by Jim Shooter and penciled by Bob Hall -
Hank Pym AKA Ant-Man AKA Giant-Man AKA Goliath AKA Yellowjacket AKA The Wasp...Get's mad and slaps his wife - Janet Van Dyne aka The Wasp.
It was a giant event (get it? giant?...) and changed Hank's life forever
"There is a scene in which Hank is supposed to have accidentally struck Jan while throwing his hands up in despair and frustration—making a sort of “get away from me” gesture while not looking at her. Bob Hall, who had been taught by John Buscema to always go for the most extreme action, turned that into a right cross! There was no time to have it redrawn, which, to this day has caused the tragic story of Hank Pym to be known as the “wife-beater” story "
He lived life trying to fix his mistake
He opend a safe house for beat womens in Janet's name
All this for crime crime he didn't commit or wasn't suppose to commit.
