character information ● name: Scott Edward Harris Lang ● canon: MCU ● canon point: Post-Civil War ● age: 32
● (canon) background: BEHOLD: the wikia link ● (original) world: n/a
● abilities: size manipulation The Ant-Man suit gives him the abilities to shrink down to, yeah, ant size, and also to grow much larger. The suit also magnifies his strength, and increased durability (ants are tough!)
ant communication Pym's technology also allows him to communicate with ants (should he find any) to get them to do his bidding. He can't fly in his suit, but he can ride flying ants, like carpenter ants, through this technology.
● strengths: His strengths include his moral code--he only broke into VistaCorp because he was standing up for all the employees the company had screwed. Even though he does get convinced into burglarizing Pym's house, it's only because he's assured that Pym's insurance would cover everything, and he had no other way to get money to see his daughter.
He's also loyal to his friends, even people like Luis, his former celly. He is willing to fight for them, as he does in Civil War, and is even willing to potentially sacrifice himself for them, as he does in helping Bucky and Steve escape the airport.
He stays calm under pressure, and never seems to take things too seriously, though some of his jokes are kind of lame.
● weaknesses: He's not that good with people. You know the type: book-smart, people-stupid. He thought he could lie to Baskin Robbins about his past, and, yeah, that didn't work. His daughter loves him, but his ex and her new beau don't find a lot to love in him, seeing him (not entirely wrongly) as a deadbeat who wouldn't be a good part of Cassie's life.
While he's determined to learn new skills (as he tries to train in the Ant-Man suit), he isn't always the fastest learner.
He really is not a fan of Tony Stark, partly due to Pym's own dislike of the other man, but now, after Civil War events, Scott has his own reasons to dislike the guy who, let's face it, is a ton smarter, wealthier, and more successful than Scott will ever be.
He wants to be a hero--he wants his daughter, at least, to look up to him, and that drive to prove himself is one of those strengths that can also be a weakness, because, inside, he's not really sure he's got the right stuff.
● skills (optional):
As an electrical engineer, Scott has a broad base of scientific knowledge, which he doesn't always use for the forces of good.
He has some good hand-to-hand combat skills.
He has some computer programming skills. He's no master hacker, but he did write the VistaCorp security systems programming and also corrected VistaCorp's thieving program.
● housing (optional): ANYTHING is better than prison.
● network username: formica (it's an ant joke)
● network sample: [Times like this, he misses Luis. There were probably a few other times he'd miss Luis, too, but mostly right now, when some charm, and/or a good right hook, were called for. Not that Scott was shy or anything, but, yeah, this whole hero thing was still kind of new.
But hey, he's friends with Captain America. THE Captain America! Right. He's got this. What would Cap say?]
Greetings, citizens.
[All right, no. Nobody talks like that. Nobody.]
Yeah. I mean, hi, everyone.
Just want to say, uh, sorry about that whole thing last night. Got a little carried away with training.
[Oh, no. A terrible pun has come to mind. Don't say it, Scott. Don't say it!!!]
You might call it some antics.
[Even from another dimension away, Hank Pym is probably facepalming.]
