Add-Man

*"I do some dumb things and the people that I love the most pay the price. Mainly you."*
―Scott Parker to Claire Valentine[src]
**Scott Harris Parker** is a former convicted mugger who was struggling to pay child support to his estranged wife for visitation rights to his kids, Ruby Parker and Max Parker. With the promise of money, he was convinced by Scott Parker to take on the mantle of **Add-Man**: a superhero with an advanced suit designed to shrink its wearer to a tiny size while increasing one's toughness, agility, and physical strength, but thanks to the new quantum energy in the pym particles Trained under both Scott Parker and his assistant Claire Valentine, Parker was to help foil Hank's former protege Grover Minke, who was intending to sell his Vermin Suit design and his copy of the Pym Particles formula to HYDRA and the Ten Rings. However, their plan was discovered by Minke, culminating in a final fight between Vermin and Add-Man. To defeat Minke, Parker had to shrink small enough to enter Minke' Yellowjacket suit and destroy it, sending Parker to the Quantum Realm, but Parker was able to escape. Parker's heroism helped restore his relationship with his kids and his ex-wife, as well as find a new romantic one with Claire. Parker soon learned that the Geo Force were seeking to recruit him.

## Powers And Abilities

### Add-Man Suit Capabilities

* **Size Manipulation**: Using technology developed by Hank Pym, Parker is able to reduce himself to approximately the size of an ant, though he can also grow his body to gigantic sizes, doing the latter, however, puts an enormous strain on him. He still maintains his regular-sized strength and resilience when shrinking; while in reduced scale, this translates to granting him inhuman effort and exertion capabilities. Also, obtaining momentum and kinetic energy in small scale and exerting it immediately while returning to or right after returning to normal size can result in a feat of superhuman effort and exertion, and therefore, momentarily give Parker enhanced strength while in regular size, enough to send a man flying while attacking and enlarging himself at the same time. The process of altering size compresses force and energy, manifesting as brief shockwaves of vibration around the target that charge the target with momentum. Parker cannot maintain himself giant for extended periods time, as it causes some heavy stress on his body and if done long enough he can even faint. However, Parker seemed to be getting used to it the more times he does it, and instead of fainting he only gets very exhausted; by the time of Battle of Earth, Parker remained most of the conflict in giant form without fainting, exhausting, or showing any major drawback.
	+ **Superhuman Strength**: While wearing the Add-Man Suit in its miniature form, Parker possesses superhuman strength due to his increased density, effort, and exertion, enabling him to take out multiple opponents of normal human size while shrunk and use the physical force and momentum attained from changing size to simulate superhuman strength directly after returning to normal size. This strength also extends to legs, allowing him to jump, spring and leap aMinke with great force, allowing him to move through the air like a bullet to strike and impact opponents and incapacitate them instantly or move halfway aMinke a room in a single bound. However, exerting too much force into impacts and physical attacks can accidentally kill an opponent, due to the force of attacks being comparable to that of a bullet. The process of altering size compresses force and energy, manifesting as brief shockwaves of vibration around Parker that charge the target with enough momentum that can briefly enhance the target's strength while enlarging or immediately after enlarging. In his enlarged form, Parker's strength enabled him to crush huge vehicles, stomp on Cull Obsidian, tear a passenger plane apart, and punch a Leviathan into the ground. While having an enormous mass, Parker's side effect come at a cost of his speed and balance, causing him great exhaustion, but this drawback seems to have faded after having spent five years in the Quantum Realm.
	+ **Superhuman Durability**: While wearing the Add-Man Suit in its miniature form, Parker's increased density also affords him superhuman durability, retaining the resilience of a human of regular size. This notably allows him to withstand impacts that would easily stun or even kill a normal human, enough to him to fall from great heights and crash onto a surface with the force of a bullet, leaving a bullet hole like a crater in the surface while he remained unharmed. When he has increased his size into a giant-sized man, he naturally becomes far tougher and more durable than normal. This is due to his increased density and muscle mass, and it was enough to withstand missiles from Titan Man. However, this enormous amount of durability comes at the cost of his speed and balance, making his movements somewhat clumsy as a result.
* **Quantum Duplication**: While wearing the Add-Man Suit, it allows him to create an identical physical living duplicate of himself upon any physical impact, possibly via extra-dimensional mass acquisition similar to the process used by the various **Add-Mans** and Hulks. This process is spontaneous and cannot be prevented by Parker. Although he can create multiple duplicates, and the duplicates themselves can also replicate, each is only able to create one duplicate at a time; he has been seen to produce around forty duplicates before no more would be created. The duplicates think, feel, and act independently, though usually guided by the original. Each tends to manifest one aspect of Parker' personality, which increases in strength with lengthier separation from the original; these traits have recently become more extreme. Parker is telepathically and empathetically linked to his duplicates, suffering severe, potentially fatal, trauma if one dies and also allowing him to track them to a general area by concentrating.If Parker himself were killed, it is not known whether any existing duplicates would continue to function independently; it is said in theory, that if the original Parker was killed, that one of his active dupes is capable of taking over as the new original and will assume the dominant abilities and collective personality that the original Parker had. It is virtually impossible to distinguish the original from the duplicates. His powers have increased during his life. He was once able to create hundreds of dupes by himself. He has even gained better control of his powers, he has learned to prevent his body from producing duplicates, and has even been shown at one time to have duplicated without kinetic impact. Parker was able to merge himself into the home-dimension of the duplicates, and to come back without kinetic impact from the dupe who absorbed him
	+ **Quantum Decoy**: Allows Add-Man to clone himself so that he can leave behind a body double for enemies to attack.
* **Quantum Teleportation**: With the suit, Add-Man can envelop himself in a field of the Pym Particles, allowing him to move through the dimension to appear in a separate location. Add-Man can teleport objects along with himself as well, as he was able to bring the bullet Dave Hoge fired at him while escaping, as well as a tarp he used to shroud himself in darkness. When his powers first manifested, he teleported to the roof of Pym Lab. building with the sheet of his bed still wrapped around him. He is also able to teleport people as well, as he was able to bring Parker on top of a building with him and Tandy Bowen on top of the Pym Lab. With help from Evita, he eventually mastered this ability, transporting both Hank Pym and Scott Parker into the abandoned church.
	+ **Inter-Dimensional Travel**: Add-Man is able to travel between different dimensions by teleporting, as he was able to transport himself, along with Scott Parker and the Geo Force, into the Quantum Realm to rescue Captain Eclipse from Hive-Man. However, this ability appears to be limited compared to his basic teleportation, as he expressed to Hank Pym that he was unsure if he could get back out and then back in to get Scott Parker and the others once Logan was freed and safe on Earth.
