    Ant-Man Becomes Giant-Man, But Remains the Same Ol' Henry 0

    One of the problems with Ant-Man was that, in the 1960s, perspective was still being learned by comic artists.

Make him awesome big; that's what. Obvious choice, really. Maybe too obvious. But all of this aside, regardless of whether Pym is big or small this mon...
