But what about The Atom? AFAIK he doesn't have strength when he shrinks.

Atom can ride on photons and turn an unconscious Batman into a mecha by jumping on nerves in his brain.

He does. It's explicitly one of his powers. The Atom's power is effectively complete mass control.

Yeah. Atom has MORE control over his properties than other shrinkie dinks. Like he can change his mass and density on the fly for some pretty wild effects.

No, now they all have plastic bins and filters that throw a thousand percent more dust in the air while you empty them out and clean them.

I take mine outside and just dump it straight into the community garbage can.

Incidentally, I was looking to find the pressure inside a vacuum canister and haven't had much luck. It's lower than atmospheric, obviously, but that doesn't really tell much on its own.

I legit thought Egghead is way too corny of a villain and that Lee/Larry invented him just for the comic strip.

But nope, he is an actual legit Ant-Man villain.

Synthbuttrange

Elihas Starr was born in Queens, New York. A gifted government research atomic scientist with an egg-shaped head, Starr was dismissed for espionage and resolved to use his intellect as a criminal mastermind. He was dealt a humiliating initial defeat by Ant-Man (Hank Pym) when he created a device to communicate with ants and tried to convince them to betray Ant-Man by leading him into a fly paper trap. Ant-Man tricked him into thinking the ants had betrayed him before revealing that the ants were his friends and would never turn against him.[1]

lmaooo

Egghead later captured the Wasp to try luring Hank into a trap involving several creatures, including an iguana and an anteater, but this failed.

ahahahah "YOU HAD ONE JOB ANTEATER! ONE JOB!"

Also

A new Egghead appears as a member of the new Young Avengers.[17] This version is a robot. Although his original programming was "to respect all human life," a female neo-Nazi named Big Zero (who seems to have a relationship with this Egghead) has reprogrammed him to hate several minorities.[18]

Only two contestants left! Here is Doom's chance for revenge...

My favourite thing about Egg Head is he was a part of the Inteligencia, the Super villain version of the Illuminati. And the group made a cloaking device that worked on their combined brain waves.

And when the group met up after Egg Head died to discuss what to do, they were equal parts sad and annoyed over how Egg Head died. In a "Yeah Starr was our friend and a super genius. ..But Christ he was dumb sometimes."
