Does Ant-Man retain his mass?

Since his mass remains constant but his volume decreases, his density would increase. If I do a similar thing as above, I find that the small Ant-Man would have a density that is 2.8 million times the density of a normal human.

Why is Ant-Man strong?

The comic logic is that Pym Particles allow you to change your size. When growing, they pull extra mass from another dimension. Pym, or in this case Scott, gains mass when growing, hence he has increased strength proportional to his size.

What is Ant-Man’s strength?

Ants can lift objects fifty times their weight.

Does Ant-Man change mass?

1: Normally Ant-Man shrinks at constant density, reducing his mass along with his volume, so he won’t squish an ant when he sits on its back. The person would weigh the same as at their original height, but only now all of this mass would be compressed into a very tiny volume.

Does Ant-Man’s density change?

The movie Ant Man states that the particles only change the distance between atoms, they don’t actually change the number of atoms. Density= mass/volume, and messing with this completely changes all the events that you see in the movie, including the theory of Scott, being able to destroy the planet!

Why can’t Ant-Man shrink to the size of an ant?

In the MCU, Ant-Man cannot only shrink to the size of an ant, because if he did, his powers would become only viable through the insects he manipulates, creating an interesting but ultimately feeble character otherwise. Not to mention the special effects budgets for creating ant swarms…

What is the logical consistency of Ant-Man’s strength?

There is no logical consistency. The MCU Ant-Man movie (Ignoring all comic canon here, only Earth-199999 applies) stated that Pym particles work by increasing or decreasing the distances between atoms, so mass stays the same whilst density changes. For this reason, Ant-Man’s strength becomes more focussed when he’s small.

How does Ant-Man become so strong?

In the Marvel Cinematic Universe Ant-man becomes superhumanly strong because of creative license, creative necessity and a liberal dose of handwavium. In the original Ant-man comics, Dr. Henry Pym created a serum infused with his patented “Pym Particles.”

How does the Ant-Man exoskeleton work?

Using some strategically placed handwavium borrowed from the DC Universe, the Ant-Man exoskeleton will allow him to have the mass of a normal human in a body the size of an ant.
