So, Ant Man?
More like more powerful/advanced Iron Man.
The Atom is more comparable to Ant Man.
After watching the trailer I’m leaning towards Spider Man.
General vibe maybe? But his powers and whatnot are very different.
“The Atom”?
And they say DC characters are dated. You sure changed my opinion.
Doesn't sound any more dated than "Ant Man" hah
You really think so?
Ant man is a silly concept, but largely timeless.
Atom man is a product of a very very narrow time period, much like “Telecaster” or “Radio Flyer”.
He's just called "The Atom", actually. And I mean, isn't it just an opinion? I think both can be silly, considering both essentially do the same things.
Blue Beetle is closer to Cyborg from Tean Titans than Ant Man. At least it looks like this iteration anyway, which would be based on the third version of the character.
He gets his suit via a Scarab in his spine that sheilds him in nanotechnology.
He has the ability to neturalize magic, which is a prevalent power in the DC universe.
Flies with wings.
Can use electromagnetic abilities from the nanotechnology. Can also create sheilds.
I much prefer the second Blue Beetle; Ted Kord, who is more like Batman.
Ted Kord and Booster Gold are one of my favourite DC pairings.
Now that we have this version it will be quite some time before we get any other version sadly.
Booster Gold and Blue Beetle could easily have thier own TV show from their point of view of being outsiders in the Justice League.
While the heavy hitters are dealing with the big bad the lower members are always cleaning up the mess or fighting henchmen.
It may be sooner than you think...
Gunn has stated that this Blue Beetle is the first character in the rebooted universe, there is a stinger in the credits hinting at the return of Ted Kord and a Booster Gold HBO Max show is on the list.
I won't get my hopes up. But nice if true
No. Ant Man can shrink while maintaining his original mass. Fun with Pym Particles.
This Blue Beetle, the 3rd, merges with an alien super weapon in the form of a scarab. The scarab uses nanites to give him super powers, flight, strength, minor invulnerability, and the power to craft weapons on an as needed basis.
The previous Blue Beetle, Ted Kord, ran around with Batman style tech maybe 20 years before, only not as good. LOL. He also had a flying beetle ship called the Bug. This version of the character was the basis for Nite Owl in Watchmen.
The other previous Blue Beetle, Dan Garrett, discovered the scarab in an arcaeological dig and it gave him mild invulnerability, flight and energy blasts.
