| Eric O'Grady was a low-level agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. and is the third man to use the superhero codename Ant-Man. O’Grady’s best friend and fellow S.H.I.E.L.D. agent Chris McCarthy had been chosen to wear Dr. Henry Pym's latest prototype of the Ant-Man suit. When McCarthy was killed during a HYDRA attack on S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters, Eric immediately stole the armour from his best friend’s dead body. O’Grady has proven to be a man of very few morals with willingness to lie, steal and manipulate to suit his own selfish plans, which include using his superhero status to stalk women. O'Grady has often engaged in questionable acts, and his bravado and arrogance have regularly put him in dangerous and compromising situations. Yet as Ant-Man, O'Grady has still managed to be a “hero”. | ||||
| After faithfully serving alongside the Avengers and on occasion showing genuine altruism, Eric was beaten to death by a group of androids who were part of the Descendant movement. Eric died nobly trying to save the life of a child, however he was robbed of his heroic death when he was reborn shortly after as a Descendant and sent to infiltrate his former team as the Black Ant. | ||||
