Ant-Man

Dr. Henry "Hank" Pym, a brilliant biochemist discovers an unusual set of subatomic particles that he labeled Pym particles. He entraps them within two separate serums, he creates a size-altering formula and a reversal formula, testing them on himself. As he is reduced to the size of an insect he becomes trapped in an anthill before he eventually escapes and uses the reversal formula to return to normal size. Deciding the serums are too dangerous, he destroys them. He later reconsiders his decision and recreates his serums. Pym's experience in the anthill inspires him to study ants, and he builds a cybernetic helmet that lets him communicate with and control them. He designs a costume made of unstable molecules to prevent bites or scratches from the ants and reinvents himself as the superhero Ant-Man.
