Cassie Lang manages to become a hero in Marvel Comics, just like her father before her. The daughter of the latest Ant-Man, Scott Lang, Cassie decides to take on a similar role. Due to growing up around her father, she becomes very familiar with Ant-Man and even Wasp technology. Sadly, due to the actions of an insane Scarlet Witch, her father is killed. This sends Cassie to retreat into herself, with her mother and step-father unable to really do much good. She feels she can be of great help to the crime-fighting sector just like her father.
Initially, Cassie considers joining the Runaways until seeing the Young Avengers on TV. Lang then goes to the Avengers Mansion to join the group but is turned away. Angered by this, she accidentally increases her size. Apparently, Cassie had been stealing Pym Particles for many years, but they never seemed to work on her. Until now! Clearly, she is too useful to turn away, leading Cassie to take on the codename Stature and join the team. The MCU has already introduced an older Cassie, then recast her with a new prominent young actress for Ant-Man 3. It seems clear we’ll be seeing much more from her.
