Talk:Hank Pym

message: The bio section for the 2000s is poorly written and completely out of order. It covers plot elements of Secret Invasion before Civil War. Can some Avengers fan clean this up? I'm not a Marvel historian, lol. But I do know the major events in that decade go Avengers Disassembled, New Avengers, Civil War, Initiative, and then Secret Invasion.   — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.94.223.179 (talk) 06:42, 4 July 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  2000s section a mess

message: Pym's minimum size is not limited to half an inch. During two separate Initiative volumes it was mentioned that he dodged certain death by shrinking down to a sub-atomic level. This may have been Hank's skrull doppleganger, but if Hank hadn't been capable of such shrinking then him doing so would have alerted someone of his false identity.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.21.144.223 (talk) 04:43, 9 December 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Size 

message: I've restored "Publication history", which had essentially been cut down and then absorbed into what had been "Fictional character biography", which was then placed under the PH subheads. WikiProject Comics MOS specified that PH and FCB are separate sections. One editor has unilaterally merged them in some articles, but there is no consensus for this; indeed, the WikiProjects Style Guidance talk page shows only one editor suggesting this, and the remainder discussing changes in naming conventions while retaining the section-break status quo. --Tenebrae (talk) 22:33, 10 October 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Subheads

message: The fictional character biography needs adjusting in that guidelines say this section is written in-universe. Names of publications and such should be in footnotes only. -- Tenebrae (talk) 23:22, 21 October 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: FCB

message: Articles can't link to sections in text unless there is a header. This is done so that, for example, an article on the Ultimates can link directly to the intended version, through the link Hank_Pym#Ultimate_Marvel, which will link directly to the section in the article about Ultimate Giant Man. Without this, readers have to search through the text for the information about the intended version.
Every other Marvel character's article is ordered and sectioned just like this, just look at the articles on:
Aunt May
Ben Reilly
Betty Ross
Black Cat
Blob
Brother Voodoo
Carnage
Doctor Druid
Elektra
Flash Thompson
Forge
Galactus
Howard the Duck
Hulkling
Invisible Woman
Jubilee
Kraven
Lizard
Luke Cage
Mac Gargan
Mole Man
Moon Knight
Namor
Namora
Nitro
Owl
Psylocke
Quicksilver
She Hulk
Super Skrull
U.S. Agent
Vision
Wasp
Werewolf by Night
Wiccan
X-23
Yellow Jacket
The list goes on and on, so why should this article be any different? Why go against a long-established, easy to understand organisational system, that every other article uses?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Wikikaye (talk • contribs) 22:44, 19 December 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree.  You need the headings to link to it from other articles.  Dream Focus 18:13, 5 January 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Other Versions 

message: Shouldn't the character history section mention his first wife, Maria, who appears in Tales To Astonish #44?  Or has she been retcon'd away?  108.7.213.217 (talk) 01:02, 9 June 2011 (UTC)
thread_title: His First Wife

message: The article states that he can reach near microscopic to about 100 feet tall, however, at least in Avengers Academy, he's able to easily reach the microverse and then underspace (entire universes smaller than atomic size) and overspace (a universe all it's own where gods reside that is massively huger than our universe). When did he get these powers and their extents should probably be added to the article.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.232.241.114 (talk) 20:06, 28 June 2012 (UTC)
thread_title: Size Powers

message: This is just a notice that an article for Ant-Man is being incubated at Wikipedia:Article Incubator/Ant-Man (film) until such time that it is ready for inclusion in the mainspace. All are welcome to come help nurture the article's development there.--TriiipleThreat (talk) 20:34, 24 July 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Incubator for Ant-Man (film) 

message: If other editors think the tag is still needed, obviously you should re-add it. Given the character's unusual complexity — at least five different identities, plus a long-running impostor, plus being a part of complicated events — I'm not sure we could trim the Fictional character biography any more, though perhaps someone else can make some cuts I can't readily see. The tag also presented a Catch-22: On the one hand it said additional sources were needed, but on the other, it said there were too many primary sources (i.e., the comics cited in the FCB). I think the article did an admirable job of citing all the various twists and turns of the character and that the cites here are needed. Anyway, that's my take on it. Other editors, please go in and improve things even more. --Tenebrae (talk) 21:48, 6 March 2015 (UTC)

thread_title:  who's the artist for the image in the info box? 

message: I am removing the category "Fictional domestic abusers" from this article for the following reasons:
* There is nothing related to this in the article.
* Assuming that this is a reference to him hitting Janet in Avengers #213, this website shows that Peter Parker (Spider-Man), Reed Richards (Mister Fantastic), and Dinah Lake (Black Canary) have all had similar incidents with their spouses. Since none of their Wikipedia articles contain this category, I see no reason to single out Hank Pym.

replies: text: Somehow I missed that, given that it doesn't explicitly say that there is domestic abuse (so ctrl+f didn't find it). I still don't see how it's central to his character (I vaguely recall that he was expelled from the Avengers more for being a jerk than for hitting his wife), but I won't argue it at this time. -Thunderforge (talk) 03:53, 13 September 2016 (UTC)
