Anonymous asked "Hank, can I be honest with you? You're my favorite Avenger."

Gosh! Well, uh, I have to say, I was expecting a lot of things on this blog, but not this!

Thanks!

I really don’t… Don’t know what else to say, so…

B-but I’m flattered. Really.

Anonymous asked "Hank, how d'you feel about the current state of the government?"

Oh, uh, wow, I really wasn’t expecting any questions like this.

Really though, I don’t have many opinions on the government. The whole issue of it just makes me feel quite disenfranchised, so I try and stay out of it. I guess I have slight opinions towards things, but nothing worth mentioning, sorry. My ideas are only fledglings, heh.

I will say one thing though, about the state of the country:

I fully support the ‘Occupy Wall Street’ guys. I’d be out there myself if I could.

Anonymous asked "What does it feel like being a giant? How do you act so comfortable being so big?"

It’s… I’m really not that comfortable with it, really.. It’s very, very disconcerting, but you get kinda used to it - y’know, after doing it for so long.

A lot of people expect me to say that it’s “brilliant” or that I feel really powerful or something when I’m that tall - actually, most of the time, I’m just too busy being cautious or worried to feel that powerful. Worried I might step on something I shouldn’t. Like a person. Or a house.

I mean, yeah, it’s incredible those times where I can be safe and not worry about killing people, but that’s usually the norm.

Anonymous asked "Hank, I thought I'd not ask a weird question like these people and be nice, instead. How are you feeling today?"

Oh! Well, that’s nice of you, I guess.

I’m not feeling too great at the moment, actually. I think I have a cold - I keep sneezing and I definitely have a fever. Starting to cough, too.

So I think today’s gonna be a pretty rough day.

If you’re feeling even more nice, why don’t you come over to the Tower and bring me breakfast in bed? Heh.

leenycap asked "What possessed you to study ants? I mean, you could've studied like a million other insects. For example, spiders. Then you could've been Man-Spider or something cool like that instead of Ant-Man, y'know?"

Because ants are millions of insects in a way, and they are awesome.

We… We have Spider-Man for spider-stuff. I answered another question about him a while back, he can actually talk to spiders apparently, so we don’t need two guys for that.

Also, spiders aren’t insects, they’re in the phylum Arthropoda just like the class Insecta, but they’re in the class Arachnida, so… Closely related, but not actually insects.

You’re - you’re implying that being Ant-Man isn’t cool, aren’t you? There’s lots of reasons why ants are cool!

So, yeah, that’s the reason I wanted to study ants. Because they are the coolest and most interesting, hands down.

uncannyavenging asked "which avenger has the best taste in music?"

Tony, ‘cause his music taste is the least boring. No offense to guys like Steve or Bruce, but y’know - Bruce has a lot of those crappy “relaxing tapes” - for a good reason, and Steve listens to a lot of Frank Sinatra and stuff like that.

So I suppose I’ll say Tony, although I’m not happy about doing so, ‘cause it’ll just give him another excuse to blast his music in the lab as loud as possible.

Anonymous asked "Dr. Pym, have you noticed anything 'weird' going on between Tony and Steve?"

Besides Tony’s terrible flirting despite being sober, the arguing like an old married couple, the way they sit way too close to each other when we’re all watching movies together, the phone calls that last around 9 hours, the longing looks across the hallways or the fact that I’ve seen Tony sneak into Steve’s room several times?

No, there’s nothing weird going on between them at all!

deadend-is asked "What do Pym particles taste like?"

You know when you go to the dentist, and you get that weird, clinical taste in your mouth that’s a combination of plastic/rubber and metal?

Kinda like that, but more metallic. Yeah…

Anonymous asked "What classifies as too personal, Hank?"

Too personal? Uhh… See previous questions about Janet and “what kind of underpants does Hank Pym wear”.

Makes me a tad uncomfortable.

scarletrage asked "Hank, what is your favourite food, and can you make it?"

My favorite food is muffins! All kindsa muffins, blueberry ones, lemon ones, etc.

Yeah, I bake quite a lot actually. Tony finds this hilarious, ‘cos apparently that’s not very manly or something. What would he know? I think being able to cook for yourself is more “manly” than having someone else do it all for you.

Actually, the last time I made muffins it went to hell… I don’t mean to embarrass the guy or anything, but I was trying to help teach Steve how to cook.

We had some trouble with the oven.

At least I don’t need an electric hand mixer any more with Steve around, I can just hand it to him instead!
