Ant-Man facts for kids
Ant-Man is a cool superhero from the Marvel universe. He was first created by a super-smart scientist named Hank Pym. Hank Pym brought the idea of Ant-Man to Marvel Comics, but the famous comic creators Stan Lee and his team helped bring him to life. Later, a different person named Scott Lang found the Ant-Man suit and became a new version of the hero, especially in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU).

Ant-Man's Amazing Powers
Ant-Man's amazing powers come from his special high-tech suit and tools.
How He Changes Size
Dr. Hank Pym discovered tiny particles he named "Pym Particles." These particles are found in a special gas that lets Ant-Man change his size. When Ant-Man breathes in or drinks a special liquid with Pym Particles, he can shrink down to the size of an ant or even grow much larger!
Even when he's tiny, Ant-Man keeps his normal human strength. Just like a real ant can lift many times its own weight, Ant-Man can carry very heavy objects, sometimes up to 50,000 pounds!
Ant-Man's Weakness
Changing size a lot can be tough on Ant-Man's body and mind. It can cause stress because of the extreme changes.
His Special Weapon
Ant-Man uses a weapon called the Stinger. It's a small but very powerful stun beam. The Stinger can shoot a beam that creates a small explosion, helping him fight villains.
