Hank Pym, before Marvel ruined him. I also enjoyed reading the Golden Age adventures of Doll Man.

Atom as a JLA member, from my youth. I do like Paul Rudds snarky Ant-man, but i never read Avengers so never had a 'relationship' w Hank Pym.

The Atom was the first shrinking-guy I ever saw in a comic. I do love the 60's Hank and Janet stuff with The Avengers, though...I can't choose one over the other.

I want to see the parallel world where Janet Van Dyne discovered Dyne Particles in Tales to Astonish #27 ("The Girl in
the Wasp's Nest") and then made a second appearance in Tales to Astonish #35 ("Return of the Wasp Girl"). Oh, yeah,
and then introduced her nerdy boyfriend, Hank Pym (in Tales to Astonish #44, "The Wasp and Giant Man"), a lab assistant
who was working for Dr. Vernon Van Dyne (after Pym's former mentor disappeared). Hank is still interested in making a
person bigger when he's introduced. Janet can order Hank around like he used to do to her in the comics in our world.

To make the story "better sell in the 1960s," the Dyne Particles have been created by her scientist father, but it's Janet
who first uses them.

If nothing else, this could make a fun What If? issue that should have appeared in the mid 1970s.

I like Scott Lang's funky helmet.

It's funky.
