    I'd quite like a Pym family book.

    Hank and Jan, Vision and Wanda, Billy, Teddy and Tommy, Nadia and Viv.

    It'd be cancelled before even getting to 6 issues, but I'd buy it.

    When does this even take place if it's after War of Realms but Sam doesn't have his helmet back?

    It's probably before War of the Realms

    Yes, especially as the only Champions that appear in the issue are the ones before the relaunch.

    it'd do better if people would stop considering it to be the Pym family (imo). Hank and Jan are divorced. Jan and Vision have no familial link. Hank never raised Ultron. Ultron is only Vision's dad in the crudest of senses. the family starts with Vision and Wanda. Nadia and Vic are included as cousins. Phineas Horton's the one who kicked it off anyways.

    People can call the Spider-Man Family a "Family" when they're the farthest thing from, so I think calling them the Pym family works well enough .

    Technically they do, as Jocasta is Vision's sister, and was based on Janet's brain patterns, which makes her Janet's sister the same way Simon is Vision's brother. Janet and Vision are linked though Jo.

    Yeah, if Dick Grayson, Barbara Gordon, Jason Todd. Cassandra Cain and Tim Drake can all count of part of the 'Batman family' despite no genetic link to Bruce Wayne, then people as distantly connected to Hank Pym as Jocasta and Cassie Lang and Raz Malhotra can count as part of the 'Pym family,' IMO.

    And I'd totally buy such a book as well. The Giant-Men book is the War of the Realms title I'm most looking forward to, after all.

    The MCU, if anything, has greatly expanded the potential from growers, shrinkers, insect-controllers and robots, by introducing the Quantum Realm business and the Ghost (a phaser tied to the quantum realm) and yet more possibilities in Endgame, and the Microverse offers yet more possibilities to vary things.

    Back when the Young Avengers appeared, and the 'Thor' (Asgardian) turned out to be a Scarlet Witch legacy, and the 'Hulk' (Hulkling) turned out to be a Mar-Vell legacy, I loved the idea of a bait-and-switch team like that, and toyed with the idea of others, like a 'Green Witch' who turned out to be a Hulk legacy (able to produce gamma energy blasts she called 'hexes' that weakened foes), or an 'Ant Lion' that appeared like a big monster with a bushy mane, but was actually a humanoid-shaped ship containing hundreds of tiny 'Bug' warriors (visiting from the Microverse) with tiny jet-packs and blaster-staves that would swarm out of 'him' and attack. I loved the idea of a team of characters who looked like obvious legacies of one character, but were actually spun off from another.

    Danielle Cage, the Captain America of 20XX, is another example, being a 'Captain America' who is actually a Luke Cage / Jessica Jones legacy.

    Smash cut to ME, at 3 in the morning, on Heinberg's front lawn, banging pots and pans, openly weeping and screaming:

    IS THIS A YOUNG AVENGERS REUNION OR AM I JUST SUPPOSED TO LIVE THE REST OF MY LIFE IN FEAR, HEINBERG?!?!

    they shouldn't. but let's be real. they are trying to sell something. Spider-man's name is marketable. Pym's isn't.

    it does if you believe that garbage. they clearly don't have the same personalities. and they don't share any dna or life experiences. Pym didn't even consider Jocasta to be a person last time around. when has he ever treated Vision as a grandchild? and when has Vision treated Jocasta as a sister? hell, shouldn't Pym be Ultron's "brother" by your logic?

    Unstoppable Wasp IS a pym family book. it's Janet and Nadia. that works for me. i'd also accept a Cassie Lang book. but there's just no connection between the members of this theoretical Pym family. because Pym isn't a family man or a friend to most of these folks. but i'm not going to clutter this thread explaining why.

    The logic of the Pym and synthezoid family tree is very messed up. So much so that Viv Vision CRASHED ("ERROR!!!") while trying to explain Wiccan and Speed's relationship to Nadia (which relies on Vision's familial relationship to Hank), forcing Wiccan to explain it himself.

    But Billy loves that story, so that's just classic Wiccan.

    Pym was treating Victor Mancha like a grandson in Avengers AI
