Give him an ongoing, or at least a supporting role in the current Scott Lang book.

There's nothing wrong with him outside of people who can't let go of an out of context panel that's been thrown around for years among people that don't read comics. If anything, that panel has only made him a better character in terms of how he's reacted to it.

By watching ant-man the movie?

By kicking Slott from his Spider-Man gig because he and Waid are the only writers currently at Marvel that can do it and in fact already had written stories "fixing" Pym.

>>77441188
Keep him away from Lang's ongoing, Lang took too much spotlight as is from the rest of the Ant-Man family. Give him his own one though because it's bullshit all his legacies had one and yet Pym only had Tales to astonish

I'd say putting a lot of emphasis on his interest in bugs in general would help. Show him feeding pet ants and beetles and talking to them.
>>
>>77441323
Brevoort said that Waid has plans for Pymtron to appear in ANADA.
>>
>>77441121
Pym's fine in 616, Ultimate is over. It's certain kinds of comic fans that need a fix.

I thnk pushing him as a diversity character is all he needs but we all know nobody gives a shit about the mentally ill most of the time because they don't look pretty on "look we're so accepting" posters unless it's a flat "voices in my head" joke.
>>
I think Pym is okay where he's at right now. As an older supporting player to other heroes. He's not a super hero like they are. He's a scientist.
>>
but anon, who needs Pym when you have funnyman Lang in his quirky ongoing
>>
>>77441438
honestly langs book is pretty good
it seems like its a lot more easy to do stuff with lang than it is Pym

We don't. Hank Pym is a loser who can barely even be called a "hero" and has never done a single thing right.
Now Yellowjacket, that guy sounds like a class act.
>>
>>77441524
It's not that it's hard to do good stuff with Pym, it's more that writers are afraid of it. Both latest ideas, Wasp!Pym and Pymtron, were pretty amazing.

And I politely disagree, but then I don't like Spencer's style much overall. I did enjoy his FalCap to some degree but his Lang doesn't do the trick for me.
>>
>>77441544
I agree that yellowjacket seems like a good man
the wasp she marry him instead of that lame pym
>>
>>77441580
I disagree friend the lang book is not to bad I didn't like it at first but its grown on me quite a bit
>>
>>77441544
writers should do more with Pym's multiple personalities a good writer can make a team book out of one character
>>
>>77441824
>multiple personalities

He's not Moon Knight, that's not how bipolar disorder works.
>>
but hank pym is le ultron now
did you not read classic graphic novel "rage of ultron"?

>>
>>77441903
I didn't like Rage of Ultron much since it more or less felt like an easy way to write him off and his monologue in the beginning felt like too much like a stereotypical euphoric redditor, but I'll give it one thing: Janet's speech was among the most realistic descruptions of depressive phases of bipolar in capeshit I've ever seen. I have the same problem so reading it, especially the "sometimes he just wanted to stop feeling part", kinda helped me to carry though a difficult time.
>>
>>77441851
He had a delusion of himself killing Goliath when he first became Yellowjacket.
>>
>>77441121
He is not broken, nothing to fix
Also, wifebeating part could have been interesting if he wasn't so demonized. It's like, you hit a woman and everyone is going to remind you for the rest of your life.

Please don't do this. We don't need Hank to turn into Science Moon Knight, or become some ridiculous caricature of mental instability played for laughs.

Just tell it 100% straight. He's a man who has fucked up, suffers from bipolar disorder and a history of mental illness, but is still a hero who will do everything he can to benefit mankind and his loved ones regardless of how he is viewed or treated as a result of his past.
>>
>>77442397
Who needs to read comics, right?

You can read 9gag tier images and then directly get a badge of a comic book expert.
>>
Why there is such a big fuss about Hank hitting his wife? I'm pretty sure many popular heroes did it too without getting a infamous reputation of wife beater.
>>
>>77442433
What are you even talking about? Who said don't read comics? Chill out and fuck off

>>77442454
I am talking about stupidity of images like you just posted.

The need to oversimplify things so you can fit them into an image or a "funny" youtube video.
>>
>>77442444
because Ultimates are considered an "amazing" comic for people who ony get started and they're familiarized with Pym through Millar bullshit; it's the same with people seeing Wanda mostly though M-Day or incest, or Vision only through Byrne's interpretation
>>
>>77442486
Is the image wrong? Or are you just upset for no reason?
>>
>>77442444
It is often the fans of Hank Pym that brag about it endlessly in the name of a lame need to defend him making people who have not read comics with him think that is all he is.

But he was fixed already. They just decided to ruin it again for no reason.
>>
>>77442444
I honestly never hear it come up except when somebody is defending Pym. It's not like normies even gave a fuck about Ant-man before the movie.

>>77442522
Not him, but the image leaves out certain details to make it seem crazier than it is. Mostly ruining the early stuff by not mentioning shit like Hank not even wanting to use Pym Particles after his first encounter with them, and the complicated Wife shit that leads him to Janet.
>>
>>77442444
Because usually that sort of thing is the sign of mind control.
Hell in the story where Pym does all that shit, Iron Man runs himself ragged trying to prove that Hank was just the latest victim of that sort of thing.
>>
>>77442522
It is not wrong per se, but it is a shortcut that will have people jumping to wrong conclusions.

He was fine up until I guess the end of WCA? Trail of Yellowjacket is great

Unfortunately, Hank was never really interesting before the slappening.

But Reed Richards did far worse to Sue. Never understood why Hank became forever "the wife beater" when there were so many "worse" things comic husbandos did to their legal spouses.

You are lying, I never hit you!
