History
An electronics expert who could not support his family doing repair work, Scott Lang turned his talents to burglary. Apprehended by the authorities, he served his prison sentence and was paroled for good behavior. When his daughter Cassie was diagnosed with a serious illness, Lang sought the aid of a renowned surgeon who was kidnapped by Darren Cross. In order to rescue her and save his daughter, Lang broke in to the home of Dr. Henry Pym and stole his original Ant-Man suit. After a successful rescue, Lang tried to turn himself in, but Pym allowed him to keep the suit for the purpose of good.
