Irredeemable Ant-Man was cool because he knew it was good for one thing: sneaking into women's locker rooms.

I think there are very few of us who would use Ant Man or Invisible Girl's powers for anything other than "evil." I know I'd use 'em that way.

I can see usefulness in shrinking, but now that I think about it, taking a cab and then shrinking would making a lot more sense than that stupid little catapult. haha

I agree, I really only meant the TTA Ant-Man; Lee never really took good advantage of the shrinking power. Or the insect-control power. Or the full-size strength at ant size power. And the catapult is pretty ridiculous.
At least once Jan shows up they start to develop Pym's personality a little bit. In the pre-Wasp issues Pym has no apparant motive or discernable personality. I think that the reason Pym has been a lasting character is his 'flawed hero' quality - always struggling with self-confidence and self-control. This defines him much more than his powers or his many super alter-egos.

Totally agree with this. Pym is so boring and two-dimensional until he starts to go a bit loopy. Even when the early signs manifest in the late 60s it's pretty well done.
