	+ ***Size Reduction*:** Henry possesses the power to reduce himself to the size of an ant, approximately one-half inch in height, by means of the subatomic particles known as the Pym Particles. The nature, source & mechanics of the Pym Particles remain unrevealed. The particles interact with the electrical impulses of his brain, creating an organism-wide "reducing field." Thus activated, his entire body reduces at a uniform rate to the smaller size he desired. Although he usually reduces himself to one half inch, he could reduce his size to any size between that & his normal size.
	+ ***Size Addition*:** The Pym Particles also enable him to grow to gigantic height as Giant-Man and Goliath. The growth process required the rapid acquisition of bodily mass. All of his cellular tissue, including his bones & muscles, enable him to support his increased weight, and giving him superhuman strength and durability.

* **Hand to Hand Combat:** Hank is a skilled combatant using special styles of unarmed combat depending on his size. If he is small, he takes advantage of the opponent's larger form by assaulting points of their body that they would not expect & move to another before they detected him. If he was giant, he would take advantage of his own massive form and use attacks that would either throw them off balance or render them unconscious before they could concoct a better strategy against him.
