Appearance

Ant-Man's Rank 1 outfit is a grey baseball cap, a red, black, and grey hoodie, and blue jeans. He also wears pieces of the tech that let him shrink around his neck, on his belt, and on his right wrist.

Ant-Man's Rank 3 outfit is a zipped up, red jacket, red pants, and a helmet with antennae on the sides over his ears.

Ant-Man's Rank 5 outfit is a red bodysuit with grey and black accents, black gloves, a belt with Pym discs, and a silver helmet with red lenses, shaped like an ant's head.

Story

Scott attended a party hosted by Iron Man where Enchantress hypnotized him and Hawkeye into fighting over her.

Uncovering Director Fury's Secrets

When Black Widow needed a spy to uncover Nick Fury's secrets, she asked Taskmaster if he knew anyone. He suggested Ant-Man, and Pepper Potts allowed Scott to be recruited to the Academy. Alas, he failed to uncover Director Fury's files, much to Natasha's disappointment.

Civil War

To counter Hydra's attack on Avengers Academy, Hank Pym and the Wasp teamed up to make Scott a new suit to increase his size tremendously. They then created the Giant-Man suit, which could increase his size instead of decrease (which his Ant-Man suit does). He then used his new powers to destroy a HYDRA blimp that was attacking Avengers Academy.

Infinity War Event

When Thanos invaded Midgard, Nick Fury led the Avengers in defeating him by collaborating with Mephisto and Hela to secretly replace an Infinity Stone on Thanos' gauntlet. While Hela distracted Thanos, Ant-Man swapped the true stone with the fake one. With the modifications, the Avengers trapped Thanos in the Darkforce Dimension.

Character Relationships

Black Cat

Ant-Man and Black Cat worked together to steal the Casket of Ancient Winters.

Black Widow

Black Widow specifically invited Ant-Man to the school so that she could have someone check out the secret vaults below Avengers Academy.

Hank Pym

Ant-Man and Hank Pym share the same shrinking-growing technology, although Ant-Man tends to only use it to shrink.

Hank taught Ant-Man how to fly on winged ants, instead of only riding wingless worker ants.

Stinger

Scott is Stinger's father.

Thanos

Ant-Man helped the Avengers defeat Thanos by stealing a stone from Thanos' Infinity Gauntlet and replacing it with a fake one.

Wasp

Like Wasp, Ant-Man also uses Pym Particles to shrink in size. Unlike Wasp, he also controls an army of insects. Ant-Man also has a crush on Wasp.

Soundbites

Ant-Man is voiced by Toby Turner.

"After this party? I'm going to an ant party."
"Big power in an itty-bitty package!"
"Hi, I'm Ant-Man. Perhaps you've heard of me."
"I feel like everybody's lookin' down on me."
"It's ant-tastic."
"It takes someone small to see the big picture."
"Now you see me—"
"Pick on somebody your own size!"
"So far, so good, huh?"
"Someday I'm gonna be a big time superhero."
"Superheroes have the best stuff to steal."
"Uhhhh... I-I didn't do it!"
"Uhhhh... okay. If you say so."

Gratitude Lines

"Thanks. I guess I should probably give you back that stuff you thought you lost."
"Thank you. You are way more helpful than my prison friends."

Trivia

During Avengers Academy 1.0, while Ant-Man was recruited and featured in storyline quests, he didn't have defined Rank Up quests. With the release of AVAC 2.0, the quest flow of many of the storyline quests featuring Ant-Man were re-ordered. Additionally, the update changed some of the quests, identifying his Rank Up quests.
