Excitement... Sort of,

So, thanks to Freedom Force, I have realized that if I were some type of traditional super hero, I would probably be ant related (my childhood was dominated by playing with insects, in particular, ants). This led me to look up existing ant related heroes, the only substantial ones being the series of Ant-Men from the Marvel universe.

Being quite familiar with the wackness of the Pym Ant-Man costume (my first comic book was a Spider Man/Ant Man collaboration), I was put off, but continued my research anyway. I found the equally wack and predictable O'Grady costume but when I came to the wikipedia page for Scott Lang, I was impressed. His feautured costume was near perfect for my tastes in super-hero styles. Even better, Lang was an ex-con, a thinker, and a family man (unusual and interesting for a hero).

However, after a google image search, it would seem that the pictured Ant-Man costume is practically unused if used at all. On top of this, Scott Lang is dead. Lastly, though I am not really surprised, he is blonde-haired and blue-eyed (I suppose its not the worst thing in the world but, eventually, one gets tired of the comic book gods grantng super-powers to an all-White cast--no offense but White people just get so damn tiresome).

What the crap comic books... When do I get to have a solid favorite super-hero? Well, here is the sweet ass costume anyways...
