While you can't put Hank Pym's wifebeating back in the bottle, you could essentially erase the story in any number of ways, giving Marvel plausible deniability i.e. "the Hank Pym who hit his wife was an extradimensional doppleganger (just as an example), and not the character who was a Marvel mainstay for 30 years before that incident." No more outlandish than One More Day, is it?
AnonymousThat’s a thirty year old story at this point, it’s incredibly outlandish.
Personally, I’m less concerned with Pym’s one major incident of spousal abuse (which he’s owned up to, been punished for repeatedly, and constantly trying to make amends for) than I am Reed Richards pattern of behavior with Sue and their kids. I’d much rather see some stories covering Reeds neglectful, psychologically damaging behavior than yet another rehashing of Hank’s.
