Pym was a brilliant, but mentally fragile scientist who was married to Janet Pym. He was chosen to work on the "Super Soldier Project" for S.H.I.E.L.D. under Nick Fury. As the superhero Giant-Man, he was able to grow to 59 feet and 11 inches (60 feet being the point where the human skeleton cannot support the body's mass). He gained his powers after experimenting on the blood of his wife Jan, who was a mutant. He was prone to domestic violence. He had been attempting to change, going on a medication, and Jan believed that joining the Ultimates could have been a new start for them. But later the tensions of losing and humiliating himself in a battle with the Hulk, and his jealousy of Jan's "friendship" with Captain America, led into a heated argument between the couple that ended after they had a violent fight, and Janet was hospitalized. Captain America himself took revenge, beat him to a pulp and forced him out of the team.
Superhero Squad[]
Hank Pym currently has appeared in the Superhero Squad line one time and possibly another time:
- In his Ultimate incarnation of his Giant-Man costume in the Ultimate Giantman and Ultimate Iron Man Mega Pack
- Possibly in his Ant-Man persona in the Antman and Dr. Strange 2-Pack, but it's unclear if the Ant-Man in that pack is really Pym or actually Scott Lang
