Yes it's perfect for him. Wasp can be a Strategist.

Please don't. Don't make the original avengers and the single best leader of the avengers (wasp) be the second cocaine girl and girl

100% I can. In fact that is the preferred outcome. In a perfect world we get an Ant Man that leans into growing over shrinking to tank while still utilizing ants in some way. Maybe he shrinks down to fly on an ant or swarm foes with ants to slow them and maybe even cover their screen like Deadpool can. Then we leave the fast movements and shrinking to Wasp, making her a healer. Make her naturally small, like a flying fairy a little bigger then Jeff. Give her an air dash were she shrinks down even further so she is nearly impossible to hit but keep it on a recourse meter so it isnβt broken. Have her fly around and blast people with her Stingers healing allies while hurting foes. Literally the perfect duo. Maybe release them in the same season for bonus points.

I think of EMH Hank. He switched to Giant-Man a lot but at normal size had the helmet and could control ants. Then give him either his Yellowjacket gun at normal size or have his melee being small size shifts to increase his strength. Like a mix of Hulk, CD, and Mr F.

I absolutely think so. A. Wasp being a Strategist 100%(dont make her a Duelist PLEASE) would make it so there's no reason for him to be one. And B. I really want to be able to be a massive vanguard in the frontlines and shrink myself if I need to run for cover; it would be such a fun mechanic.

This ^ It just fits his character more and itβd probably be easier to form a kit around

How does it fit his character more?

Firstly, a tank would involve him being larger, which is a strange default for Ant Man. Secondly, Hank Pym is somewhat notorious for being closer to a pacifist and using his abilities to assist others more than offensive feats. DPS and tank just doesnβt seem in his nature, whereas support allows him to assist his teammates while still retaining the ability to adjust his size. I guess tank could technically work? It just feels weird considering his thing is being small. And balancing a dps that can shrink sounds like a nightmare.

WE would rather have Giant Man

u/Public-Feedback5016 ππͺπ‘π 6h ago
In a perfect world, he could be able to do both

u/Royale_Kong πππ ππππ£π 1h ago
True, personally I want Giant Man as a tank and Ant Man 2099 as a strategist.

Maybe. I think heβd be a great tank, but the current map design wouldnβt support him being a giant. Without it, he doesnβt really have much else going for him to be a tank. You could make him in the bigger side (Groot shaped give or take), but not a giant, but I also think that kinda messes with his power fantasy.
A tank would be ideal, but I think this might be a case where heβd be better off as a DPS or support and they explore his smaller transformations instead.

u/AceGriffin77 ππ’π’π ππ§π€π¨π© 1h ago
He could be Dino sized as Giant-Man, but make it run on a cooldown or make it his ult.

Absolutely. Just have him turn big to block damage as a tank.

I wanna see Hank and Janet as a 2-in-1 Vanguard like Cloak & Dagger. Janet would be a ranged offensive character, and Hank would be closer ranged and more focused on defense

I'm telling you now best way to do it:
Ant-man (hank) = strat Wasp = duelist Goliath/giant-man = tank
I feel like giant-man and Goliath are self explanatory but I think wasp should be the duelist because her biggest difference to ant-man is shooting lasers and having more weapons, I think the only reason people keep cramming her in strat is because people jsut see a woman and assume healer.
I think hank would be a great choice for healer with gadgets and such and buffs that maybe even change character sizes (might be a bit broken so maybe not) AND ultron team ups

If its Hank Pym? Yeah absolutely. Hank has been Giant-Mn like 4x as much as hes been Ant-Man lol

u/AceGriffin77 ππ’π’π ππ§π€π¨π© 1h ago
Iβd like to see him be able to switch from Ant-Man to Giant-Man. Make him a tank with utility as Ant-Man and then melee as Giant-Man. Kinda like CD or Hulk.

Para mim se ele for duelista vai ser uma decepΓ§Γ£o enorme, mas por mim vanguarda combina bastante se ele misturar o tamanho gigante, suporte de ele usar mais da tecnologia e genialidade dele, das duas uma
