At least Bill had a decent six-pack to boast of... Clint's looks more like he's strapping his man-boobs in... And he has no abdominal musculature whatsoever!

By the way, Clint's Goliath costume was much worse than Bill's.

No wonder they wanted to Skrull him quick.

But look at us - Bill Foster post quickly becomes Hank Pym thread. NO PROGRESS!!

AFAIK Bill Foster was never properly a member of a superteam. But he had a fair share of spotlight in the Champions. Although he did claim to be no match for Stiltman (!) and ended up fighting the Stranger's constructs while the Champions were up against Kamo Tharn and the Nullifier Bomb,

They just don't write comics as they did in the 1970s anymore...

I also want to say he was one of the jerks Immortus summoned to fight the Avengers, but looking it up would require having to read that thing again. I seem to recall Hawkeye beating him by shooting an arrow into his temple, though.

I'd love a Goliath the Killer Whale series.

My suggestion would be:

5: Yellowjacket (Rita was a much better YJ, IMHO)
4. Goliath
3. Giant-Man (beats out Goliath in that he wasn't stuck at a specific height)
2. Ant Man
1. Dr. Pym (A scientist actually uses his mind to defeat problems rather than using the backstory to explain his super-science superpower that bashes enemies. Instead, he makes plans and contingencies and uses a passive power to equip himself for eventualities he has already thought through. He even has a unique power, which none of his other personas could claim. I think that it was a gimick we don't see often enough.)

To comment on the actual topic, I agree with the list order and reasons.

Theno

If Reggie Hudlin stops writing comic books any time soon, then Tom Foster, cousin (or is it nephew?) of Bill Foster will probably be his best creation.

Co-creation. Greg Pak pitched the idea of Tom Foster to his editor for use in World War Hulk, and learned that Hudlin had thought of something similar. So Tom got a cameo introduction in the pages of Black Panther (without being named), and then started showing up in the Hulk's book.

BTW Hank could totally take that killer whale!

Then again, I thought Dr Pym was a neat idea, although probably more for a kids toy line than anything else.

Concerning Hank's normal sized heroic identity, "Dr. Pym, Scientific Adventurer" was, as stated, shrinking and enlarging many various objects. But as his formula was explicitly stated to be biologically oriented, how was this possible? One other thing about the WCA's regular run: It was my understanding--and there might well have been somebody I was unaware of--that everybody who had ever used Pym's formula on a more or less regular basis (up to that time) except the Wasp (who was chairing the east coast group) was in the first issue of that comic, and I presumed it was no coincidence but the set-up for an upcoming plotline. Didn't happen, of course, at least not under that run of that creative team on that title. They--or somebody else--might have used the idea later, but if so, it just happens that I didn't hear about it.

Hank has the HGH1 allele of the growth hormone gene, whereas Clint has the HGH2 allele.* Hence their different responses to the serum. You're welcome.

* All biology guaranteed completely made up.

10" or 10'...

We're talking Spinal Tap Stonehenge issues here...
