Lost but not forgotten: Hank Pym Appreciation 2022

[Nomads1]

I remember his Yellow Jacket lair up in the trees. That was a really cool pad. Looking forward to next week and Ant-Man #1.

The Hornet's Lair, if I'm not mistaken.

OMG! I LOVE it!! Hope it's still remembered & brought back someday

Ant-Man next week is the first original Hank Pym content in... what, like 5 years? More? Last time I remember seeing an un-Ultroned Hank was a flashback issue in Spencer's Ant-Man.

Pym's personal finances and career really seems to fluctuate. He had enough cash from selling patents to fund a superhero career and had a huge apartment sixties. He had his infamous downward spiral in which he blew all his money and went broke. In the years leading up to him being killed off Hank was wealthy again. Hank was dropping six figures investing on shrinking tech in Charles Soules She-Hulk.

Generally I think he is a self made millionaire but on the lower end since he seems to reinvest much of his wealth into his scientific experiments and never really seemed interested in being a businessman or corporate CEO type.

Most people probably assume all the money came from Janet.

Not a problem. Later on though, it was called...

The Hornet's Hideaway

Thanks for posting the two Hornet "Hives", K7P5V!

It was great to see them both and how closely the newer scene so resembled the original one.

I’m totally pumped for this. Can’t wait to see flashback to the Tales to Astonish days.

I can't wait as well .

Just love Buscema's women. John or Sal. Beautiful.

Really just a minor quibble...but something I find annoying....When Scott first appeared and stole the Ant-Man suit Hank had an estate. Big house..maybe even considered a mansion. But when Nadia shows up it is just a house in the burbs.

I think the mansion was bought with Jan's money/inheritance. In the old TTA, Hank had at some point a simple house in the suburbs, which he probably always kept or re-bought at some point. Remember when he first experimented with growing big and busted through the roof of his house? :-) That's probably the house we see in Nadia's book.

Pym's personal finances and career really seems to fluctuate. He had enough cash from selling patents to fund a superhero career and had a huge apartment sixties.

I always got the feeling he indeed was a self-made millionaire, but a bit by sheer luck. I don't see him as a big savvy businessman. And the idea of comics Hank having a company and being CEO is just so silly to me. Doesn't fit with the character at all.

I’m totally pumped for this. Can’t wait to see flashback to the Tales to Astonish days.

Me too!!

I know, right?! It made another appearance, though retroactively...

Thanks again for posting this newest look, K7P5V!

What was this story about? Why are they in the hive? Why is YJ talking about Hank like it is someone else?

LOL! That image is from Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes II (2007). Yet another modern-day retelling of The Avengers.







The sixth issue retells the events of Avengers #59 & #60
(but be warned, there's some retroactive shenanigans going on. So, your mileage may vary):
