Here's a cute little team I dreamt up:

59pts SN Dr. Hank Pym

43pts IC Ant-Man
+6pts Takedown
+5pts Knockdown
+5pts Ambush

82pts Av Giant-Man

100pts SI Yellowjacket

0pts Alpha Flight (optional)

= 300pts

I Love it. Perplex is all of our friends

I like this team as well. Might actually try it out at my venue the next chance I get.

I've been looking to play the same thing! Except, mine will probably have the zombie Giant Man and the Ultimate Giant Man (since I just got him). But I like the LE and puck choices!

I've played a slight variation on that theme.

48pts SN R Ant-Man
+5pts Thunderbolts
43pts IC Ant-Man
+6pts Takedown
+5pts Thunderbolts
82pts Av Giant-Man
+5pts Thunderbolts
100pts SI Yellowjacket
+5pts Thunderbolts

Just switch them all to Defenders and you've now got a solid defense (and two people that can taxi the other two). If they want to drop that DV, they have to take down the hockey puck, but they'll risk taking pushing damage. That and they have to see/reach him first.

The only drawback is you don't have great range. You have to count on your opponent coming to you as well has hoping that your opponent doesn't have enough juice to hit a 20-22 defense (depending on hindering or Perplex).

I'd thought about that too, but what can I say?

616 represent!

Definitely a better team, but it breaks theme. 2 Ant-Men? Travesty! :p

Well, we'd be arguing semantics whether the LE is still Ant-Man or not (the sculpt certainly is), but worst case scenario, you just say the hockey puck is Scott Lang (theme be darned). :D

I played something similar, recently, too
R Ant-Man
E Ant-Man
Av Giant-Man
SI Yellowjacket
396

totally a lot of fun. The guy I was playing with threw together a pretty lame team and I mopped the floor with them. I really, really, really lament that there is no West Coast Avengers Era Hank Pym.

I guess that's true - looking at it now, I can sort of see it as being representative of him.
Incap is him shrinking his opponent? I can really sort of see it now.
That's my favorite version of Hank - seemed just like a normal guy hanging out. And having the never-ending pockets of gizmos. I'd love to see a sculpt mod to go with. Maybe I'd be able to accept it as him.

man, the more I look at him, the more completely obvious it is.

I have to get this figure now.
