He had some difficulty back in the early days of the Avengers due to the strain his added mass put on his body, but that was back when comic book writers had all these stupid rules set up to give their characters limits or issues, like Peter conveniently running out of web fluid, or Tony Stark's heart almost going into cardiac arrest, or Thor turning back into Donald Blake if he wasn't holding Mjolnir for any extended period of time. Hank has much greater control over his power now, and he goes into Class 100 whenever he exceeds 100 feet in height, which is roughly half the size of a football field.

He used to have very limited superhuman strength, which didn't leave me very impressed with his powers. That lasted probably the whole 20th century run.

PhoenixRising

I think they upped his strength when he became Giant-Man again in the 1990's. He wore an outfit that looked like Hercules' outfit, only bigger.

I never paid much attention to him.

PhoenixRising

I know you didn't. But I did because I was a die hard Avengers fan, and he and Janet were in nearly every single storyline.

Man, I cannot wait for the next episode of The Gifted, because the Fall finale is gonna air soon. This is one of the few shows this season that I really love. The only thing missing is Alex Summers. I would really love to see him and Lorna.

Hank and Janet were not in nearly every single storyline. I can think of whole swathes of Avengers storylines they weren't in.

PhoenixRising

I never said they were in every one. But they were certainly present for more storylines than anyone other than Iron Man and Captain America, and they were in the Avengers in every single decade from the 60's, 70's, 80's, 90's, and 2000's.

For anyone who can't wait for the next episodes of The Gifted, here are some promotional photos from the next two episodes, outfoX and eXploited

Thanks for that. Looks interesting.

PhoenixRising

Yep, I'm anxious for the next episode. I think they may be the last two episodes of the season. The two hour season finale will air in January. I hope it gets picked up for a second season.

Um from what I saw I believe the first season has 13 episodes in it.

PhoenixRising

The season finale in January will be two hours long. Those are episodes 11 and 12, but there are only two more episodes this year, episodes 9 and 10. So I believe there are only 12 episodes.

ice choco

The writers confirmed there's 13 episodes though. So I'm confused.

PhoenixRising

I'm only going by what's on the Wiki page. The next two episodes are outfoX(December 4th) and eXploited(December 11th) and then the two hour finale January 15th. That's all it says.

ice choco

I kind of feel like that's because they haven't announced what the next episode name titles are yet. Though not sure.
They may just know when the 2 hour finale is going to be, and posting it.
