All versions (Hank Pym,Scott Lang,etc) are eligible,as are media other than comics.
Avengers foes shouldn't really qualify,save for Ultron,obviously.

I'll have to think longer about this one.
While I think that Egghead, Elihas Starr, is my choice for Classic Ant-Man villain, it's hard to deny that Hank Pym
afterwards becomes his own worst enemy, and, therefore, the obvious choice then becomes Ultron. Although
some might claim Jim Shooter. Props also to The Human Top/Whirlwind for hating both Hank and Jan.

Ultron is probably the objectively greatest, but I've had a soft spot for Whirlwind since he got real with Hank Pym in a loser-to-loser tirade in West Coast Avengers #16.



The month before, Whirlwind appeared in Captain America, where he received a badassery glow-up with the addition of buzzsaws to his gloves. Even though he was predictably humiliated by Cap, with WCA I thought for a moment I was witnessing a Whirlwindaissance.

Ironically, despite what Whirlwind says about not letting anyone else cop his modus operandi, a new X-Men villain with identical powers named Riptide had been introduced just two months before in X-Men #211.

I know none of these other than Ultron, so that's my pick. Fake fan, obviously.

Whirlwind, partially because of MY name, and partially because he had a similar speech to the one above telling off The Living Laser off in a great story drawn by Perez. Always thought he was cool.

I'm a fan of characters who wear big buckets as part of their costume (see: The Beetle)

Jocasta, only because I found her so interesting when I was reading The Avengers as a teenager.

I went with Egghead... because he is the biggest one on the list who hasn't been defiled by the post-Infinity War MCU...

Not Jim Shooter, but Bob Hall. The artist who didn't understand how to draw an exasperated Hank accidentially hitting Janet.

I don't know why the editor didn't catch it. Or at least the editor-in-chief. But, here we are. I voted for Bob Hall.

Shooter is so full of shit. How hard was it to script around it?


I came up with that in a minute.

Not really fond of any of that Rogues Gallery. The Ghost had an interesting power.

Another pretty good foe for Ant-Man was The Black Knight.

In my pitch to Marvel for a new Ant-Man series (ala the Spider-Man Blue, Daredevil Yellow material at the time)
was that the original Ant-Man years should reframe everything that was done in Tales to Astonish as a "Fostering"
program sponsored by the U.S. government, where an established scientist, like an Engineer would be paired with
a young protégé from a different discipline. In that way, we could establish that most of Ant-Man's original foes were
either the established scientist type like Egghead, and younger students like Nathan Garrett (a bioscience guy who
got teamed with a mechanical weapons guy like Alexander Gentry (Porcupine).

Then, my Ant-Man Red storyline would bring in all of the Russian and Chinese spies who were hanging around trying
to steal the new secrets and corrupt/turn the U.S. scientists.

Anyway, too long and too long winded a post, but I just wanted to say that Nathan Garrett should have been on this list.
