My knowledge of Ant Man is pretty much limited to what I’ve seen on Earth’s Mightiest Heroes, but whenever people say he should’ve been in the Avengers I have to laugh.

The dude rides ants into battle

he defeats villains by covering them in ants

There was that one time when he shrunk down…

HANK PYM IS A DOUCHE IN EVERY UNIVERSE. Even EMH, Janet’s whole current storyline is dealing with what a douche he is. There is no reasonable excuse for ever having Hank Pym in your cast of characters.

And this is coming from somebody who tends to like the more giggled-at powers, like animal qualities or shrinky powers or a whole cast of Aquapeople, though I’ll be honest and say that shrinky powers probably work better in DC than in Marvel, because DC is populated with fewer literal and figurative demigods.
