    Yellowjacket just seemed to have a bit of pizaz that the others lacked. PLUS, love it or hate it, you know he kept that pimp hand strong.....

    Plus, I think Yellowjacket was just the absolute best part of Avengers: EMH

    I actually prefer the "Hank Pym" catch-all with the simple workman's jumpsuit. I like the idea of a Hank Pym that's a crazed inventor first and foremost and that his superpower is he invents superpowers. I don't want to have to pick just one. I even wrote up a proposal for a title just called "Pym".

    Of the "super" monikers, I like ant man or giant man as his primary ID, but threw a vote in for Wasp because that was a great jacket and that was when he was dubbed the "scientist supreme".

    Giant-Man was easily the best costume and name IMO.

    I was never a fan of heroes whose powers were to become GIANTS or become tiny. I disliked the name and the outfit of Giant-Man. I didn't know what a Yellow Jacket was so I disliked that name too. The only time he looked remotely cool was Ultimate Universe Goliath. However, after reading Mighty Avengers I grew to be a fan of Pym. I personally really liked the idea of him being Wasp. The costume was cool, and Wasp > Yellow Jacket. Still at the end of the day the name Ant-Man sounds the best and looks the best especially the T-Bolt costume version. I didn't know Ant-Man was his first alias, knowing this I say he should just stay as Ant-Man.

    I always call him Ant-Man, but other than that Wasp and Dr. Pym. But honestly, I like that he has like 50 identities lol.

    I love all of pym's ID's but Goliath has got to be my favorite by a landslide, I love the original costume for the identity as well as the starting arc where he is stuck at 10 feet. Avengers v1 28-58 is easily my favorite run on the series.

    I prefer Hank Pym from West Coast Avengers.

    Most of his hardcore tech feats came when he was teh Wasp.

    I dont even recognize him as Ant-man cuz he gave up the identity so easily.

    Outside of Hank Pym, I preferred the Giant-Man persona

    You know how Reed went bad and became the Maker in the Ultimates. Pym has such understanding of time, AI and other stuff, he could easily do the same. I would prefer him be evil than the woe is me character alot of the writers tend to portray him

    I think it was his love of Janet that kind of turned him from that kind of life. Like he was always more interested in the inventions and the crazy science stuff, then he met her and she was the one that dragged him into the life of being a superhero and he fell in love and tried to be the best man he could be for her. If there was ever an alternate timeline where there was no Jan or something happened to her early we could have a very different Hank.

    I really loved him as the Wasp. Thought it was a nice tribute to Janet and I loved the costume. Between Mighty Avengers and Avengers Academy, I was enjoying a lot of books starring Hank around this time.
