Mutation/Powers
As Yellowjacket, Henry Pym possesses the power to reduce himself to the size of an ant, approximately one-half inch in height, by means of the subatomic particles known as the Pym Particles. The nature, source, and mechanics of the Pym Particles remain unrevealed. However, while originally he needed to ingest certain chemicals now he can control his height-changing by mind. He can reduce himself to any size, although normally he chooses that of an Ant. He uses a small bio-energy gun to duplicate a Yellowjacket's sting and he can fly.
History/Background:
Henry Pym is one of the most intelligent people in the world, normally put beside Mr Fantastic, Hank McCoy, Doctor Doom and Tony Stark as one of the five most Scientifically knowledgable men on the globe. After an uneventful childhood, growing genius and biochemist Hank Pym discovered what he called Pym particles, a rare group of subatomic particles from which he formulated a size-altering formula. Testing the solution on himself, he found they were far more powerful than he hypothesized—one of these particles had the power to make things shrink and the other to restore an object to its natural size.
He was shrunk down to the size of an insect and narrowly escaped the inhabitants of an anthill. He then restored himself. After he undertook an exhaustive study of ants, he later constructed a "cyber-helmet" that would let him communicate with and control insects. He designed a costume and gave himself the superhero name Ant-Man. On his first outing as Ant-Man, he defeated some KGB agents that were trying to steal some anti-radiation gas that Pym had made. He started a career as Ant-Man and fought many supervillains and monsters.
Later, Pym was contacted by Dr. Vernon Van Dyne, who asked for Pym's help in contacting aliens. He refused, but became attracted to Vernon's daughter, Janet Van Dyne. Vernon Van Dyne was later slain by an alien outlaw. Janet asked for Hank's help to avenge his death. Pym then revealed his secret identity to her. Hank used some Pym particles on her and grafted wasp wings beneath her shoulders (but they disappeared when she was normal size and came back again when using Pym particles). Janet assumed the name of The Wasp. They tracked down and defeated Vernon's killer, thus forming a permanent partnership and starting a relationship, before becoming founding members of the Avengers. Shortly afterward, he developed a variant Pym particle that could increase his size; using these, he became Giant-Man and later Goliath.
However, Pym suffered a series of mental problems. Shortly before his wedding, he had a breakdown during which he became amnesiac and developed the cocky "Yellowjacket" persona; he only fully recovered after his wedding to Janet. Almost immediately prior to that incident, he had created an android called Ultron, which, to his horror, became self-aware and evil, and plotted to kill and replace him and the rest of humanity with robots. The extent of his guilt involved in Ultron's creation was not revealed until years later, when he admitted that Ultron's brain patterns were in fact based on his own.
Several years later, Pym had a complete breakdown, and became extremely paranoid. During the course of this breakdown, he became overbearing and verbally abusive towards Janet. At the nadir of this degeneration, he struck her, and then proceeded to concoct a plan to make himself look good in front of his teammates by staging an attack upon them which only he could stop. This plan backfired and Pym was exposed, disgraced, and expelled from the Avengers, and the couple divorced.
After Pym's mental state returned to normal he rejoined the Avengers, first in an advisory role and later as Giant-Man. After the events of "Avengers Forever", Pym re-adopted his Yellowjacket costume, to put the past behind him and acknowledge his healed psyche. After a time, he and the Wasp became friends again and, some years later, resumed a romantic relationship. They left the country after the Avengers disassembled but they have now returned in the new atmosphere of crisis.
Sample Post:
Hank Pym wasm crouched over the writing desk with scattered papers, feverishly scribbling notes. He did not even notice how late it was. Finally, he completed a formula and sat back with a satisfied smile. "Eat that, Doctor Richards..." he muttered, cracking his knuckles in a satisfied way.
"Hank, Honey?" came a tired voice. Janet- "The Wasp" was standing i nthe doorway, looking bleary-eyed. "It's after one. What has taken so long?" Hank smiled triumphantly. "Elementary, Janet." he said. "I think I've finally solved the scientific problem Reed sent me!"
Janet rolled her eyes. "You really take those things so seriously?" she asked, half jokingly. He grinned. "But of course. It wouldn't do if people thought that Dr Henry Pym was too far away from Dr Reed Richards in terms of intelligence now, would it? Janet grinned. "Of course not."
They had once had their share of troubles, culminating in Henry actually abusing her once. But that was many years ago, and he had undergone therapy and emerged a new man. It was a different Henry Pym now. "I'm ready to come to bed, honey." he said, winking at her. "Let's go."
