[color=ed1c24][b]History:[/b][/color]
[indent]After Scott Lang realized that he couldn't support his family through his repair work, he decided to use his skills to turn towards burglary, stealing just enough to get by. It wasn't long before Scott was apprehended and sentenced to spend the next years of his life behind bars. During this time, his wife Peggy divorced him, so when Scott got out four years later on early parole, he found that he had nowhere to go.

Wanting to continue to providing for his family, especially his daughter Cassie, Scott managed to get a job at a Wayne Enterprises branch as part of their ex-offenders employment scheme. Life gradually started to get better, that was until Cassie got sick, having been diagnosed as having a serious congenital heart condition. Desperate to help his daughter, Scott sought the aid of surgeon Dr. Erica Sondheim. However Scott soon discovered that she was mysteriously being held by Cross Technological Enterprises against her will. 

Breaking into the home of Dr Henry Pym, the infamous Ant-Man, Scott stole the man's old Ant-Man suit, which he used in order to break into Cross Enterprises. Here he discovered that Dr. Sondheim was being held captive by the company's founder Darren Cross, who sought to use her to heal his own heart condition. During the struggle that unfolded, the villainous Darren Cross passed away after his heart gave way, allowing Scott to escape with Sondheim whom managed to save his daughter's life.

Scott was intent on returning the suit, however before he could Hank Pym informed Scott that he had watched Scott during his confrontation with Cross. Pym felt that Scott had what it took to take on the mantle of the Ant-Man full time, an offer Scott graciously agreed.

Having moved to New York, Scott fought as Ant-Man for around a year before he was approached by the Legendary Lex Luthor into joining his Justice League. Eager to make Cassie proud, he accepted.[/indent]

[color=ed1c24][b]How (if at all) does the New Frontier version of your character differ from the original?:[/b][/color]
[indent]Scott doesn't really differ much from his comic iteration. Here however he worked briefly for Wayne Enterprises (I assumed that such a company would have ex-offender employment schemes or something). I'm basing the majority of how I play Scott on his current comic run, in that he's trying to care for his daughter, despite his ex-wife's protests, as well as the fact that I'd like to portray Scott as the "funny guy" i fell in love with.
