Lost but not forgotten: Hank Pym Appreciation 2022

[K7P5V]

They already used Time Travel as a 'death retcon' with Scott Lang during Children's Crusade.

Yeah, love that scene! Here's proof...

I don’t follow any of the X-books and haven’t for years, but isn’t Beast supposed to be something of a bad guy or questionable to seek help from at best?

Once an Avenger, always an Avenger, I guess.

So I had a weird thought. In this Ant-Man series, they’re all supposed to team up, right? So time travel has to be involved. What if Hank from the 60s ends up in the present day, and that’s how he comes back? I wouldn’t like it because they’d be erasing most of his history. But that might be what they’re trying to do.

I like your take, however, the cynical in me really doesn't see Marvel doing that to bring back a chartacter it has always pissed on. Plus, in nowadays, Hank is seen as another white savior, and a PC character would always be prefered. And you still have that pesky movie synergy thing, rihght? God, I really am cynical, ain't I?

Peace

I'm going to hope for the best. At least we'll get one good Hank story out of it .

[Ultimate Captain America]

Has Hank been restored off panel? When Jack of Hearts collapses at She-Hulk's apartment, she suggests calling Reed, Hank, or Tony. Since Beast is on Krakoa I doubt she means him, which means by elimination, Hank ought to be Dr Pym!

Remember that the guy has been dead a long time, and may not be aware of things that took place since "Disassembled" (and that's quite a LOT to digest). If it was not a mistake, it was probably meant to point how clueless he is over which things changed and which things are still the same. Which is basically a mandatory thing to happen each time someone comes back from the dead, anyway.

It's not Jack of Heart who talks about "Hank", it's She-Hulk.

Then it's just a mistake from Aaron.

The entire Jack of Hearts return seems to be a continuity error. He already came back in a Marvel Zombies mini set in Earth-616 with zombified Squadron Supreme clones. One line mentioning "Hank" is just minor error in continuity compounding on a larger one.

Well, this "Reckoning War" was an event that was being set up and that should have happened over a decade ago, so maybe some of it was not "updated" as it should have.

I don’t buy variant covers to often but I’m getting this one. After reading the solicits I am pumped for this. Looks like Hank’s old Tales to Astonish foes team up on Hank and Jan’s date night. I hope to see all of them. Especially Egghead, Porcupine, Human Top and the Black Knight.

[Iron Maiden]

I will be picking this one up. On a side note, Egghead is one of the few characters that AFAIK has stayed dead.

This is why this flashback into Hank’s past will be more enjoyable. Elihas Starr, Nathan Garrett and Alex Gentry have all stayed dead. Hope to see all three in this.

I think Nick Spencer brought Egghead back in his Ant-Man.

[Iron Maiden]

I don't think I ever read Nick Spencer's Ant-Man. The last time I remember Egghead appearing in a story was in the Fall of the Hulks crossover and he only showed up in a flashback about the early days of the Intelligencia. But I guess just about anyone can come back from the dead these days.
