I really want a Punisher series in the same tone as the Daredevil one because that would be pretty rad since he kills the gently caress out of people on the reg

my favorite ant man moment was in this one comic where he was a part of some lovely b-team of superheroes after he got kicked out of the avengers and they were all getting their asses kicked and one of them was all "ant man, help!" and he was like "I'm trying but there aren't enough ants around!"

welp c ya

So this Ant Man is about as useful as Jubilee?

that edgar wright short was cool and showed that you could do some neat fight scenes with this concept. It's apparently really hard to find it on the internet, all I can find now are these garbage quality versions:

a good writer can make any character useful but sometimes you just wanna make fun of a guy's dumb power

grant morrison did a run of justice league where batman was consistently the most useful character despite being the only one without superpowers and it owned

The problem with deadshot is that he's all hype but pretty much always fucks up when it's against anyone important. He's like the sidekick superhero that is allegedly strong but who's sole purpose is to lose fights so you know the bad guys mean business.

yeah he basically has to be a fuckup because if he actually lived up to his powers he'd just kill everybody

there was a dope run of daredevil where they actually acknowledge how hardcore never missing powers are and bullseye had to be kept in a straight jacket and carted around Hannibal lector style because he was basically the most dangerous motherfucker on the planet

I generally like super hero movies but seriously,

who cares about antman. Isn't he like the aquaman of marvel. His power is being really small and controlling ants, and being really smart but not SUPER smart.

This is propably gonna be a bust because nobody has heard of him and even if you tell people what he can do it's like: "Oh. Ok, uh, neat?"

Been saying that since the very first trailer for Daredevil.

I think that teleporting characters like Nightcrawler are the most OP thing in all of comics, though they never acknowledge it. They could teleport just about anybody straight into a wall in like a millisecond.

what the gently caress is up with daredevil anyways, he's a blind guy with a superpower that basically lets him see. It'd be like having a quadriplegic with the power of psychically controlling their limbs.

I swear I read a comic (maybe an Marvel Ultimates book) where Ant Man had Wasp get small and then broke her device and threw her into an ant farm or something. I don't think she died or whatever, but it seemed really extreme and cruel and I can't remember if I really read this or if I somehow imagined it.

I am pretty sure this happened. I never saw the actual comic but I heard about it. If I recall, Captain America beat the utter poo poo out of him afterwards.

I'm really disappointed to find out in this thread that Ant-Man is some non-Pym good guy. I was kind of hoping for one "really, really hosed up" hero on their roster.
