** And the cherry on top of that cake is that Jan is guilty of ''far'' greater abuse than Hank, as she willfully and blatantly used his drug-addled and unstable mental state to force him into marriage with her, with it even being mentioned several times that Hank was so out of it during the ceremony that he had no idea what he was saying. Unlike Hank, Janet has ''no excuse.'' She was just being manipulative for the sake of keeping Hank by her side no matter what. She even has a panel ranting before anyone, beside possibly herself, knew it was Hank about how [[http://goodcomics.comicbookresources.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/yjwedding11.jpg Hank's work had killed their relationship and how this was her true happniness]].

** In the UltimateMarvel universe this scene is taken UpToEleven as what starts off as an argument, turns into mutual combat, but quickly becomes a CurbStompBattle when Janet shift into Wasp form.
-->Hank [''Watching ants he called attack Janet'']: "You shouldn't have made me feel small, Jan. You shouldn't have made me feel small."

Realizing that he was destroying a breakthrough, Hank recreated his serums a few weeks later. Inspired by his experience in the anthill, Pym uses the shrinking serum to become the superhero Ant-Man in ''Tales to Astonish #35'' (September, 1962). He would pick up a partner a few issues later in the form of Janet van Dyne, a young socialite who closely resembled his dead wife. With her father dead thanks to the arrival of the creature from Kosmos, Janet volunteers to undergo genetic alteration at the hands of Pym to become "TheWasp". Together, the heroes defeat the Kosmosian and become partners. Later, the duo would join ComicBook/IronMan and [[TheMightyThor Thor]] in battle against the [[Comicbook/IncredibleHulk Hulk]] until the heroes realize that they've been manipulated by Loki, the God of Mischief. Banding together, the heroes defeat Loki and officially become Comicbook/TheAvengers.

* AscendedExtra: Hank's first appearance in ''Tales to Astonish #27'' was a seven page story where as a scientist, he just tests his shrinking experiments on himself and runs afoul of some ants. "The Man in the Ant Hill" was intended as a one-off story, but positive response led to bringing him back almost a year later as a superhero.
