Years ago, Dr. Henry Pym discovered a set of subatomic particles he dubbed Pym Particles.
By decreasing distance between atoms, he could shrink objects, and then increase the distance
to return them to their original size. The nature of Pym Particles allowed Pym to create
a suit of unstable molecules that maintained the same mass and strength at any size which
made Ant Man over 1000% stronger in his smaller form. This suit also comes with a helmet,
enabling the wearer to talk to ants and control them telepathically.
However, Darren Cross, CEO of Cross Technological Enterprises, is using the tech as a means
to create bite-­sized super soldiers and masquerade as his evil alter ego, the Yellow
Jacket.
Enter Scott Lang who, after being fired for whistleblowing, hacks his former employer,
Vistacorp, to return the money they stole from their clients. But he lands himself in
jail when he breaks into his boss’ home and steals some stuff. He then gets set up
by Dr. Pym steal the Ant Man suit and finds himself in jail for the second time. Fortunately,
Dr. Pym offers Scott redemption... if he can help him break into a place and steal some
stuff. But also put a stop to Cross!
