Hank Pym

During a mission with his wife, he and Janet were tasked with deactivating a Soviet bomb in the 1980s. They both knew they had to shrink down to destroy the missile. Janet shrunk into a small size, but not before telling Hank to tell their daughter she loved her.

Pym was heartbroken at the loss of his wife and found telling his daughter was the hardest thing he ever did. Hank feared it would bring about great damage if it fell into the wrong hands, which caused him to lock the Pym Particles away and his Ant-Man suit.

After a refusal to remarry, Hank felt his daughter Hope needed a female companion. So he visited Scarlett and adopted her as a daughter.
