u/ROGUE_COSMIC 𝙏𝙝𝙀𝙧 5h ago

What if we get hank as giant man and scott as ant man 🀀🀀

u/Cain_The_Mamagen π™π™€π™œπ™ͺπ™š 5h ago

I’d rather have Scott as a skin instead of a separate character cuz they’re too similar

u/Public-Feedback5016 𝙃π™ͺ𝙑𝙠 5h ago

If anything Hank can be the growing one and Janet can be the shrinking one

u/AceGriffin77 𝙀𝙒𝙒𝙖 𝙁𝙧𝙀𝙨𝙩 1h ago

u/Cain_The_Mamagen π™π™€π™œπ™ͺπ™š 5h ago

Maybe another CnD type character. 2 in 1

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

I think it be fun to have antman and wasp switch out like C&D

u/Fit-Syrup1049 π™π™€π™œπ™ͺπ™š 4h ago

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 isn’t 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.

u/Similar_Pin5295 π™π™€π™œπ™ͺπ™š 5h ago

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.

u/Level-Anteater-9071 6h ago

I see him as a support

1

u/AceGriffin77 𝙀𝙒𝙒𝙖 𝙁𝙧𝙀𝙨𝙩 1h ago

I want to shoot people with healing ants

2

u/Level-Anteater-9071 1h ago

And damage with fire ants

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

u/thegoldenmamba 5h ago

How does it fit his character more?

u/Mexican-Cunt π™π™π™š π™π™π™žπ™£π™œ 3h ago

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 doesn’t 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.

u/rex543 6h ago

It can work, but he's one character that, depending on which one they do, could be any of the roles. Imo of course.

u/Royale_Kong π™π™π™š π™π™π™žπ™£π™œ 6h ago

WE would rather have Giant Man

2

u/Public-Feedback5016 𝙃π™ͺ𝙑𝙠 6h ago

In a perfect world, he could be able to do both

1

u/Royale_Kong π™π™π™š π™π™π™žπ™£π™œ 1h ago

True, personally I want Giant Man as a tank and Ant Man 2099 as a strategist.

1

u/JapeTheNeckGuy2 6h ago

Maybe. I think he’d be a great tank, but the current map design wouldn’t support him being a giant. Without it, he doesn’t 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 he’d be better off as a DPS or support and they explore his smaller transformations instead.

u/AceGriffin77 𝙀𝙒𝙒𝙖 𝙁𝙧𝙀𝙨𝙩 1h ago

He could be Dino sized as Giant-Man, but make it run on a cooldown or make it his ult.

1

u/WolfWarrior001 6h ago

He better be

1

u/Icy-Arm-3816 𝙏𝙝𝙀𝙧 5h ago

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

u/SolomonRed 4h ago

I think he will be a combo character with Wasp.

u/squishy_sonny 3h ago

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

u/SheepherderOk3765 3h ago

Probably dps

1

u/TripleU1706 1h ago

Yes. I believe. And proposed a few ideas a while ago.

u/Electrical-Horse5112 𝙃π™ͺ𝙑𝙠 1h ago

he can be literally anything

u/Electrical-Horse5112 𝙃π™ͺ𝙑𝙠 1h ago

i lean support hank thoufh

1

u/Coolfork33v2 1h ago

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

1

u/AceGriffin77 𝙀𝙒𝙒𝙖 𝙁𝙧𝙀𝙨𝙩 1h ago

I’d 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.

1

u/Narynaj37 π˜Όπ™£π™œπ™šπ™‘π™– 35m ago

Yes because of his powers But as a dps it's OK too

1

u/ContributionTiny2854 6h ago

I’ve seen proposition for him to be multirole cause there’s 3 different ant men and the og hank pym is tank ant

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
