History
"'You want to destroy this power, Lang? I won't let you. I'm going to embrace it. I'm going to use it for what it was meant for. But first, I'm going to kill you!'"Coming Soon...

Powers & Abilities

 * Ant-Man Technology: Through the research left behind by Hank Pym and Bill Foster, as well as his own trial and error, Eric was able to replicate the Pym Particle and create his own Ant-Man suit. O'Grady also enhanced the suit's offensive capabilities, giving it built in laser cannons on the back as well as inborn jet propulsion in the backpack.
 * Insect Control: O'Grady also figured out how Hank Pym had controlled ants, using various electronic frequencies to stimulate their senses. Eric also used unique radio frequencies in his methods, ensuring that only he could control the ants he had linked too.
 * Scientific Genius: O'Grady shows a great deal of scientific ability, given that he was able to unlock the formula for the Pym Particle when dozens of others had failed before him.

Weaknesses
Unbeknownst to O'Grady, the Pym Particle has deletrious effects on the human brain, unless the user is shielded by a protective helmet such as the one developed by Bill Foster. Since O'Grady never added this technology to his own suit, his mental state became increasingly unstable the longer he used the suit, to the point where he began to threaten the family of Scott Lang merely out of need for revenge or proving himself better than any other logical reason. This, ultimately, is what led to his downfall and death at the hands of Lang.
