43 Years Ago Today, One Of Marvel’s Original Heroes Quit & Ended A Legacy

Let me tell you, as a longtime comic book movie fan, there are moments that really stick with you. And one of those happened 43 years ago today, January 11th, 1983. That’s when Hank Pym, a true pioneer for Marvel heroes, essentially hung up his Ant-Man suit and walked away. It wasn’t just a retirement, though. In Avengers #230, a truly awful chain of events unfolded, transforming a beloved character into someone fans felt utterly betrayed by. It marked the end of a 20-plus year run and, honestly, it was a shocking turn for a founding Avenger.
