As I mentioned, being able to order normal insects around isn't really sexy - but the idea of a Silver Age comic hero being heroic for his intellect and devotion to science, rather than some sort of physical ability, is. Dr. Pym's size-changing ability was really more of a throw-in, IMHO.

None. They always surrender right before they finish the job and never tell you why.

Sorry for the one-month necro, but Iron Man was on OnDemand the other day and I was watching, leaving the credits to run while I went to do a chore, and I noticed something that I hadn't seen before. Did anyone else notice that Peter Billingsley, aka Phlox, was on the production team?

Slight problem though - Phlox was played by John Billingsley.

frankly he's been in lots of stuff I've never even heard of.
But I can't throw, I throw like a geek!
