Throughout the years he has adopted several other heroic identities, but Ant-Man was his first one.

Though he teoretically carried a limited amount of shrinking gas capsules as Ant-Man, he seldom (if any) ran out of capsules. He also very rarely used the gas on other people and objects. He can do that as a Power Stunt using Hero Points. Another interesting feature of the shrinking gas is that the effect is permanent until reversed by an antidote Pym also carried. If he were stripped of his equipment while shrunk down, he'd be trapped in micro-size. This happened very rarely and should be handled as a Complication.
