Scott Lang is a famous Marvel superhero. For a long time he was not a very popular character in the CIS, but the film "Ant-Man" in 2015 radically changed everything. Now, many viewers who were hooked by a funny superhero, able to decrease in size, want to learn more about this character. This article was created with the aim of helping such people satisfy their hunger for information.
Character Biography
Before trying on the mantle of Ant-Man, Scott Lang made a living by stealing. He was far from a stupid guy and even had a good knowledge of electronics, but his work did not bring him enough profit to support his family. For his atrocities, Lang was arrested for a long time, but for exemplary behavior he was released after three years. Scott was hired by the company of billionaire Tony Stark (better known as Iron Man). Since Lang was well versed in technology, he was entrusted with installing a new security system in the mansion of the superhero team Avengers.
Superhero Formation
New life as a law-abiding citizen did not last long. Everything changed dramatically when Scott Lang's daughter was diagnosed with a serious illness. The only person who could help her was Dr. Eric Sondheim. However, he was kidnapped by supervillain Darren Cross. In order to save the doctor and his daughter, Scott made his way to the home of Henry Pym (the original Ant-Man), and then stole his suit and particle reduction technology. After Scott Lang managed to save the doctor and his daughter, he confessed to Pym that he had stolen equipment from him. Pim, in turn, did not become angry, but, on the contrary, allowed Scott to keep the costume on his own, provided that he continued to do good things. From this moment the superhero career of the new Ant-Man began.
Super abilities
Scott Lang has the same capabilities as the previous Ant-Man. Thanks to a special substance invented by Henry Pym, Scott can reduce himself, other creatures or objects to tiny sizes, and then return everything to its original state. A special transmitter is built into the helmet of Ant-Man, thanks to which its carrier can mentally communicate with various insects. In addition, it has a special microphone that allows the superhero to speak in a voice familiar to a person, even when he is in a reduced state. One of the additional benefits of the suit is an increase in strength. Thanks to special ammunition, the physical abilities of its carrier increase four times.
In addition, Scott Lang has extensive experience and qualifications in the field of technology, which has repeatedly helped him in his superhero activities.
