Hank Pym is a genius, one of the founding members of the Avengers, the creator of Pym Particles, and a modern-day superhero. He has acted under many memorable identities such as Ant-Man, Giant-Man, Goliath, Yellowjacket, the Wasp and also Earth's Scientist Supreme, as decreed by Eternity.
Well almost every character has a respect thread (even stilt-man) so why not one of my favorite characters Hank Pym. I know people can't stand him but I really like him. So if you like Hank Pym don't let me be alone and commend.

=D
Hank Pym is the greatest Avenger of all time. Simple as that.
Amongst Hank's feats we have;
Declared Scientist Supreme by Eternity
Used his Pym Particles to grow beyond reality and encounter Eternity
Created Heaven. Yes, Heaven.
Used the Infinite Avengers Mansion to maintain the molecular integrity of Jan after her death; enabling her to be brought back
He's considered God of Artificial Intelligence. Ultron's design was so perfect that it was ultimately a flaw.
Knocked out Egghead, who has a Kingpin-esque physique, with one blow
Defeated Chthon
Created the Infinite Avengers Mansion (the most impressive piece of teleportation/space bending technology created in the MU)
Called Reed Richards a bitch
Was the catalyst behind Loki's sacrifice in Siege
Discovered Pym Particles
Defeated a Cosmic Cube empowered Absorbing Man
Called Reed Richards a bitch
With the help of the Mighty Avengers, which he was leading, defeated the Unspoken, who was arguably more powerful than Black Bolt (who's in the top 5 most powerful superhumans on Earth)
Defeated Reed Richards in single combat based solely on the use of scientific equipment
Infiltrated the Baxter Building, outsmarting Richards' insanely state-of-the-art security system
Knocked out the Leader (not that impressive, mostly just cool)
Hank is definitely the best Avenger ever in my mind, and so many people seem to forget that it was Hank who first proposed that the Avengers stick together and make a team, not Hulk, Iron Man, or Thor. And Janet came up with the name "Avengers".
Back in the WCA, when Wanda was having trouble making her hex powers work the way she wanted them to, Hank figured out how before she did and had her test his theory in his lab. And he was proven correct when her hex powers didn't backfire in the experiment. Unfortunately, her powers also changed the results he'd recorded just seconds later, alluding to her reality warping ability. He was pretty good with understanding magic even back then!
I'm a massive fan of Pym and i'm glad to find other fans! I hate it when he finally gets rid of the stigma of being a wife beater; no that its a forgivable thing but when he resolves the past issues with Janet and then all of a sudden someone comes along and brings it all back to the surface. His character in Mighty Avengers was what made the series for me and it sucks that the team was sidelined for the idea of the "heroic age" Hank was bringing that back on his own with his team!
Pym is definitely my favorite hero, and I've always been surprised that he hasn't been more popular. If you ask me he is one of the most successful and developed heroes out there. I'm disappointed that he isn't going to be in the Avengers movie but with the news of his own movie on it's way I'm hoping he'll finally get the respect he deserves. I'm actually going to be getting an Ant-man/Giant-man tattoo soon! Pym is a character who definitely deserves respect as one of the defining forces of the marvel universe. It's awesome to know there are other fans that love him just as much as I do!

He doesn't have the wings anymore. Last time I checked, he's growing and shrinking. Mostly growing as Giant-Man.

@Loki9876: Actually, the wings have been biografted to his back. They're still there, but they only appear while he's in a diminutive state, just like with Jan.

I would read a solo title book just called "Pym" where in every issue he either invented a new superpower or struck a woman, child, or small fluffy animal in anger.
@VampireSelektor: oh so he actually still has his wings just only when he's in small form thanks for the info Do you know if he still carries his shrinken gadgets with him
Christos Gage has this Whedon-like knack for expanding on the power set of his characters. Having the ability to shift into different planes of existence easily places him shoulder to shoulder among the most powerful Avengers.
