  He uses pym particles (named after Michael Doulglas' character Hank Pym) to shrink and re-grow.
  The names don't get much better - when he grows bigger he calls himself Giant Man.
  Pym also has an alias known as Yellowjacket but someone else is playing Yellowjacket separately in the film.

  To be fair to the names, it is comics, they have lots of names like that, otto octavious, victor Fries. Comics have odd names, I do find it odd they have Yellowjacket as a seperate character in this, unless there is more to it and that character is connected to Pym.

  Otto Octavius is just another one of Stan Lee's attempts to have character names that he won't forget.
  That's why soo many 60's Marvel characters have illiterative (I think thats the word) names. To be fair to him he was writing a lot of comics at the time - but surely just a pad listing all the characters and their aliases would have been easier.

  I don't have a problem with unusual comic names, just pointing out for whatever reason, obviously different reasons to Stan Lee's character names. In general they tend to be more dramatic or unusual than actual names. There is even a character called mr banjo (or something like that) in DC comics, which makes the names Ant-man and Giant man look normal lol.

  They have release a second trailer (well the 1st trailer since the other was technically a teaser but whatever)
  
  I think this is looking good, like the style shown in the trailer and seeing the powers in action it looks unique, different to the heroes already in Marvel's film universe. Should make for interesting action scenes.

  I am a big superhero fan, love everything about them and after watching the trailers i am looking forward to this film. It is nice to see something that hasn't been done yet and Ant Man seems like a good character to try this on. I just hope that he does grow giant in the film and doesnt just stay small.

  I think if they show him growing giant at all in the film it will be a hint at the end of the film or the end credits scene. Though most likely I can see then holding that back for future appearences of the character rather than going straight to it, I could be wrong though (and wouldn't mind seeing that in the film).

  Yeah i can see them keeping him growing for an after credit scene. I can imagine it being that he does it by accident without even knowing that he could grow as well as shrink due to the suit.

  don't really know that much about the story behind ant man but it seems interesting because it breaks the stereotype of big, strong superheroes (e.g. superman, cpt america, thor, hulk, batman etc). will definitely check this film out
