The gargantuan Goliath is a hero who deploys his enhanced size through the use of Pym Particles to battle enemies. Hank Pym, the original Ant-Man, was the first Goliath, having adopted the name in some of his returns to the Avengers. Assuming the vacant identity, Clint Barton, the marksman Hawkeye, became Goliath in an attempt to empower himself for the benefit of the Avengers. The criminal Power Man, the alias of Erik Josten, stole the name in his actions as a criminal, but eventually abandoned it to reform himself as Atlas of the Thunderbolts. The most prominent Goliath was Bill Foster, Pym's former assistant. Following Foster's death, his nephew Tom Foster has fully reclaimed the name of the Goliath.
