Just realised that I never had Scott react to Captain Marvel's message so I'll make sure to do that in my next post! Scott does need a reason to miss that parents evening after all!

“I swear to god Scott, if you’re late tonight, I’m going to kill you.”
“Come ‘on Pegs, relax! I’m already back in New York and besides… Cassie’s parent teacher conference isn’t until seven!” Scott explained, his voice a lot more out of breath than usual, before giving a short yelp of pain. “I’m just…just a little busy right now.”
Peggy seemed to pause for a second, with silence filling the phone call. Scott gulped. This wasn’t going to be good.
“Are you telling me that you’ve been chatting away with me while you’re fighting a supervillain?!”
Scott gulped once more as a car exploded down the street in front of him. “Um… no?”
“ANT-MAN! PREPARE TO FEEL THE WRATH OF THE MIGHTY PORCUPINE!” The supervillain’s crazed shouting echoed loudly down the phone line, causing yet another pause between the ex-husband and wife.
“Ok, well I'll talk to you later, Pegs. Send Cass my love!”
Scott caught just a slither of a curse word from Peggy as he hung up, mentally warning himself that he’d be in for it later tonight. That didn’t matter now though, as now he had a more dire situation at hand; Porcupine. Ant-Man had barely been in back in Manhattan for twenty minutes when he had run into this guy, terrorizing Times Square while dressed in a large beige costume covered in prickles. Ant-Man's first course of action after seeing the guy in his ridiculous costume was to laugh. Now, as a member of the world famous Justice League of America, Scott knew that doing such a thing probably wasn't a good thing for the group's public image, although sometimes things just got too much for him and he couldn’t help it; Porcupine being a prime example of such a thing. The guy didn’t appear to be much of a threat once Scott had commandeered his ants to form a temporary barrier around the two of them, meaning that he had decided to take his ex-wife’s phone call. That was however until Scott discovered that the guy could throw his stupid prickles.
Now he was off the phone however, Scott could be more careful.
Ant-Man dived to the side with ease as the villain launched a few more of his quills towards him, dodging the needles easily. Moving quickly, the process repeated, as Ant-Man began to circle the villain, in a half-assed attempt to get himself some time. He needed to come up with some clever quip to say after all. That was when the villain finally hit his mark once more, hitting Scott in the side of his body. The hero yelped in pain once more, before falling back against a car door in pain. As the villain gave a hefty villainous laugh, Scott decided that a clever pun could wait.
Diving forward, Ant-Man shrank in size. Landing swiftly on the floor, he launched himself back up towards the villain, temporarily channelling his strength into his legs as he did so. Rocketing through the air towards Porcupine, Ant-Man swung forward with his fist, shifting back to size as he did so. His hand collided with a thump against Porcupine’s mask, causing the villain to tumble backwards onto the floor.
“Try that one on for size!” Ant-Man stated proudly, standing triumphantly above the villain, before giving a quick look at the gathering crowd to see if they had liked his line. They simply groaned. Mentally reminding himself that they just didn’t understand his vast comical intellect, he focussed his attention back to Porcupine, whose mask had seemed to have fallen from his body, exposing the damaged face of a slightly chubby forty year old man. He whimpered slightly for a second as he laid eyes on Scott, and for a second the hero felt kind of bad for the guy. That was before he spoke.
“Hey… wait. You were in prison, right? You were a crook? That’sa what they say!” The man pointed to his left towards the duffle-bag that he had been carrying before the scuffle. “There’s like twenty g’s in there, mate. We can split it, fifty/fifty.”
Scott let out another short laugh at the villain’s offer. “I’m a member of the Justice League of America, Porcuwhine. So if you think for a second I’d take an offer like that, then you much have poked yourself in the brain with one of those quills.”
As he spoke, Scott began to lift his arms slightly, focussing with his helmet. Around the two of them, the floor grew darker. Ant were everywhere!
“Sic ‘em, boys!” Ant-Man order charismatically, as the ants moved towards the supervillain to tie him up.
Isn't Sloth working on an Iron Man sheet?
Afraid i'll have to reframe from finishing my opening post until tomorrow, as i've just forgotten that I have a short essay due tomorrow and i stupidly decided to leave until the last minute :P
Has it been said where the Justice League's headquarters is or what it's like? Also has it been confirmed as well whether or not we have Zeta-beam transport or Quinjets? Or am i just completely overthinking things and this is entirely up for us to decide?
As if I can get Ant-Man some viable transport or something, i wouldn't mind having him assist Captain Marvel

So far so good, right?
Name:
Scott Lang, AKA Ant-Man
Alignment:
Chaotic Good
Affiliation:
The Justice League of America
History:
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.

How (if at all) does the New Frontier version of your character differ from the original?:
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.
Post References:
Yeah, the more people believe the better the eventual reveal will be. Publicly, I'm trying to turn the Lex/Superman relationship on its head: people think that Superman is obsessed with Lex and has a vendetta against him. When in fact everything Lex has done up to this point has been to spite Clark.
I guess I'm the guilty party here! Would it be too much for Scott to be a fan of Superman then, or should i try and edit that out too?
<Snipped quote by DrewVonAwesome>
Which is the plan.
also Captain Americas*
What one it will be at that point is... open to speculation.
Come on man, isn't it obvious?
I know, but like, i imagine that the group would be off in a training room somewhere?
Fair enough, but how would he know where it was happening? And like, wouldn't everyone just all turn on someone who had just burst through the wall to attack them?
