1. Animal/Plant Control Device (Cybernetic Helmet):  Ant-Man's Cybernetic Helmet allows him to telepathically communicate and control up to 24 HPs worth of ants. Since normal ants are so small and have negligible weight, they are treated as a swarm instead of individually. The size of a swarm is determined by its total HPs. For every 12 HPs, a swarm covers a area of 1" (thus a swarm at full 24 HPs would cover an area of 2"). Some of the swarm's stats are also based on its total HPs. Accuracy equals +1 for every 6 HPs (then add Accuracy Mod from Agility). Damage equals 1 Point for every 8 HPs. Power equals total HPs.

Animal Weight Agility Ferocity Hits Accuracy Damage Power Movement
Ant Swarm 1 20 12 24 +6 1-3 24 1" (3" flying)

        Those successfully attacked by a swarm must make an Endurance save (roll under Endurance on Percentage dice) or else become distracted by the multitude of insect bites (-4 on all tasks. ie to hit, damage, saves, etc). Those that fail their Endurance save must also spend their next action attempting to exit the ant swarm.
        It costs Ant-Man movement only to command the ants to attack. In the past, Ant-man has commanded the ants to spell out messages, or even sabotage machinery (48% chance of success). He also sometimes uses a single flying ant as his mode of transportation (3" flying speed, treat the ant as having 1 HP, 4 Power).
2. Heightened Intelligence B  +15
3. Size Change Device (Shrinking Gas):  Type B (smaller). When Hank Pym inhales the "Pym Particles" of his shrinking gas, he can reduce himself and his costume to the size of an ant (1/2" tall). Height Factor: 72. Ant-Man's Cybernetic Helmet holds 28 charges of shrinking gas. Ant-Man maintains his original Strength and Carrying Capacity when shrunk down to ant-size (Weight Modifier effects only his current weight and not his Basic Hits).
4. Weakness (Phobia/Psychosis):  Henry Pym is often wracked with self-doubt. He worries that his super-heroic identity will be enough in the battle against evil (well, to be fair when your fellow teammates are the Hulk, Thor, and Iron Man - you would have the same doubts).
