Cassie Lang
Cassandra "Cassie" Lang is a character appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. Created by David Michelinie and John Byrne, the character first appeared in Marvel Premiere #47 (April 1979). Cassandra Lang is the daughter of the superhero Scott Lang / Ant-Man. She has also been known as Stature, Stinger, and Ant-Girl at various points in her history.
Since her original introduction in comics, the character has been featured in various other Marvel-licensed products, including video games and merchandise. In the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), the character was portrayed as a child by Abby Ryder Fortson in Ant-Man (2015) and Ant-Man and the Wasp (2018), and as a teenager by Emma Fuhrmann in Avengers: Endgame (2019) and Kathryn Newton in Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania (2023).
Cassandra Lang debuted in Marvel Premiere #47 (April 1979), created by writer David Michelinie and artist John Byrne. She later appeared under the codename Stature in the 2005 Young Avengers series, by Allan Heinberg and Jim Cheung. She appeared in the 2008 Young Avengers Presents Stature one-shot, her first solo comic book. According to Diamond Comic Distributors, it was the 81st best selling comic book in May 2008. She appeared under the codename Stinger in the 2015 The Astonishing Ant-Man series, by Nick Spencer and Anna Paola Martello.
Cassie Lang is introduced to the Marvel Universe as the ill daughter of Scott Lang. Her congenital heart condition forces her father to steal Hank Pym's Ant-Man equipment and Pym Particles, which he uses to rescue Doctor Sondheim, the only doctor able to cure Cassie's condition, from Cross Technological Enterprises.
After the divorce of her parents, Cassie lives for most of her childhood with her father, whom she loves and admires greatly. Although Scott tries his best to keep his superhero life secret, Cassie gradually finds out that he is Ant-Man, and secretly experiments with his Pym Particle supplies on her own. She is fascinated by her father's life as a superhero, and generally has a good relationship with her father's colleagues; when she was younger, she even called Tony Stark "Uncle Tony."
Scott's time as an engineer for the Fantastic Four brings Cassie to the team's then-headquarters of Four Freedoms Plaza. In the spectacular environment Cassie calls home, she forges a strong friendship with the former ward of Doctor Doom, Kristoff Vernard. During the time they share a home with the Fantastic Four, Cassie helps Kristoff adjust to life outside of Doom's castle, and she develops a crush on him.[volume & issue needed] It is also during this time that she meets her father in his Ant-Man identity, and confesses that she had known about it for a long time.
After the Fantastic Four go missing and Cassie's father finds himself without a job, Scott takes employment at Oracle, Inc. with the Heroes for Hire (H4H).[volume & issue needed] While working with the Heroes for Hire, Cassie has further adventures, accidentally activating the Super-Adaptoid and receiving horrifying visions of things to come.[volume & issue needed] The H4H easily defeated Super-Adaptoid, and Cassie's participation in these dark events help her father and his allies defeat Master of the World in a battle for the fate of the Earth.[volume & issue needed] All of these adventures give Cassie a taste for the action-filled life of a superhero, but it causes her mother Peggy Rae to take sole custody from Scott.[volume & issue needed]
As a result of Cassie being kept away from her father Scott, she grows more and more bitter toward her mother, and even more so toward her stepfather Blake Burdick. As a police officer, he cannot stand the world of superheroes the young girl loves, and he unsuccessfully tries to keep Cassie and Scott apart. For years, Cassie visits her father whenever possible, much to her mother and stepfather's chagrin, until the events of "Avengers Disassembled," when Scott is killed due to the actions of an insane Scarlet Witch.
