Core Analysis

Scott Lang is a thief turned Ant-Man whose heroism is grounded in fatherhood, humor, second chances, and ordinary decency under absurd stakes.

Scott's psychology is redemption without grandeur. He does not need to be mythic; he needs to show up for his daughter and the people who gave him a chance.

His humor is not empty deflection. It keeps fear manageable and lets an ordinary man function inside impossible missions.
