Good Evening, lowly scoundrels of CBM.com! Today, I, the great and mighty, Verzwei, bring you my pitch for the possible sequel of the upcoming Ant-Man movie. I'm unsure of the legal state of the rights of some of these characters used in this Editorial, but there others that can always be used replacements. 

I was brainstorming way before we got our first look at Scott Lang and co. in the first trailer and I was thinking how awesome it could be so I took note of some ideas and scrapped another. The final result is what I present you before your very eyes... kinda. Well, it's actually different by now!

Enter the Mad-Thinker!



Originally a villain of the Fantastic Four, one of the shadows behind the second movie should be the Mad-Thinker, or Dr. Keith Dramn (which could be his name in the movie, based on his past fake identities), plotting to overthrow Pym Technologies after his company suffered an hostile takeover from Hank Pym a few years ago and getting the short-end of the stick being fired by his new boss. 

Now, a broken and obsessed with the probabilities of getting his revenge on his self-proclaimed nemesis, the Thinker would start building technology for Super Villains and acquiring Alien Artifacts just for the sake of getting closer to his final objective. After strucking a contract to produce weapons for an obscure company called Oscorp, Dr. Dramn would have the finances to bring the house down on the man who destroyed his life as a brilliant scientist and engineer.

During his first attack on Pym's Manor using two powerful criminals armed with technology of his own authory, Ant-Man (still with identity being a secret) would stop them and the rage of getting his only opportunity crushed by a "costumed freak" would make him hunt the Nano-hero until he found out who he really was.

Actor: Rufus Sewell 


Bring Me The Shocker!

Yes, he is a Spider-Man villain so he needs to show up on the webhead's movie. But what about introducing him in Ant-Man and then having he move to his rightful place as the goofy henchman who never gets one right?

After his fathers were killed when he was a teenager, Herman Schultz would dwell in a life of small roberies and bugglary trying to feed his younger brother and survive until the next rent. When he got the opportunity of his life as a criminal trying to break into a cassino, he gets arrested and ends up in jail for the next 30 years.

After he breaks out, he discoveres he lost the guard of his younger brother and decides to do anything to get money and power to take him back promising to give the little kid a life of king. What could possibly go wrong? He ends up taking a job as a henchman of Dr. Keith Dramn and, after years of good service to him, is given a suit capable of withstanding schockwaves and powerful gauntlets who were capable of unleashing them.

He is one of the hitmen hirred to kill Hank Pym, but he is stopped by the Ant-Man after he fails to bring himself to put an end to the life of another human being.

Actor: Chris Pie Pine


Spin like Whirlwind

And now, I bring some serious wind in this editorial! Mutant Inhuman David Cannon was a teenager when he was first exposed to an unprotected Terrigen Crystal which triggered his transformation into a man who was both feared and respected in his hometown. 

He began working in the organized crime in Kansas City as the right-hand man of the leader of a criminal family who desired to rule the city through sheer force and money, until he was approached by Dr. Dramn to work as his personal bodyguard and secret hitman. He received a suit who could help him control and maximize his powers, making him the Whirlwind.

He was defeated by the Ant-Man when he was trying to murder Hank Pym in his Manor and ends up escaping the Police.

Actor: Scott Adkins


Burn at the Power of the Human Torch!

And finally, the final tool which the Mad-Thinker would unleash on Hank Pym and the Ant-Man would the syntheic man known as the Human Torch which was first introduced in a small, blink-and-you-miss cameo in 2012's Captain America: The First Avenger.

The good Doctor, in the past, acquired the dormant body of Jim Hammond during the years before the takeover from Pym Technologies. After being defeated by Ant-Man, he would reactivated the android under his control and use him to attack Scott's family after discovering his real identity. During the fight, the Ex-Wife is caught between the burning house and ends up dying in a emotional scene.

He ends being reprogrammed by young genius, Cassie Lang, and is freed by the control of the Mad-Thinker to teams-up with Scott to defeat the ruthless scientist.

Actor: Jake Gyllenhall


Yes, I known it's too bloody early for this kind of thing, but I really don't care. I'm also aware that there's no way MARVEL would do a movie like this, and I don't care as well. (LOL)I just tell you this: "Manners maketh man, 'do you know what that means?"


I'm tired as hell from writing this, but I hope you guys like it! That's it for today and maybe for the next year!

Thanks for the support, guys, really appreciate it!

It'd be cool to include a lesser known Spidey villain actually. The Shocker is a good idea.

I also think that introducing the andrioid Human Torch is a great idea

@DrDoom I was thinking about Radioactive Man, but he would be too overkill to Scott. Hell, the Human Torch is already too much for him to chew! LOL. I also think that AIM financing the Mad-Thinker would have been better, but I chose Oscorp to set Norman as the shady badass he is XD

@acorsi11 The Mad-Thinker actually revived the Torch back in 80s (? ). That was one of the bases for my idea... I think it would be cool for him to be reintroduced like this. The Shocker would be like a comic relief on the badguys side.
