History: A former Golden Gloves boxer, Bill Foster was partnered with Dr. Hank Pym at the Dynatecnics lab where they worked. The two did not always get along, but they respected each other enough to keep their disagreements civil. When Pym discovered particles that interacted with a sidereal dimension where mass was virtual instead of real, the only one he confided in was Foster. When the diminutive adventurer Ant-Man appeared on the scene, Foster confronted Pym about it at work the next day (see Ant-Man). Foster agreed to keep Pym's identity as Ant-Man a secret, but only if he was permitted to help research other uses for the Pym particles, as he dubbed them. Foster later developed a chemical solution which contained Pym particles that would increase an object's size and mass beyond its default size. However, Pym initially seemed uninterested in this aspect of the particles' properties, and Foster himself wondered how it could be utilized.

And then the lab was raided by the corporate spy called Doctor Nemesis, who in the process stole Foster's notes on the Pym particles (see Doctor Nemesis). Designing a superhero uniform for himself, Foster injected himself with the chemical solution, granting him the power to change his height at will. Foster made his debut as Giant-Man during a fight Ant-Man and his partner Wasp against Doctor Nemesis, turning the tide by giving Nemesis someone who could fight back at larger size (see Wasp).

Since then, Foster has only rarely donned his Giant-Man identity, though he stands ready to assist Ant-Man, Wasp, and other heroes when needed.
Height: 6'.
Weight: 200 lbs.
Eyes: Brown.
Hair: Black.
Uniform: White bodyshirt with a dark blue down-pointed wedge pattern (sleeves depending on weather), dark blue pants, white gloves, blue wristbands, white boots, dark blue utility belt with a large gold "G" on the buckle, dark blue domino mask with mirrored lenses over the eyes.
Strength Level: At his normal height, Bill Foster possesses the normal human strength of a man his age, height, and build who engages in regular exercise. His strength increases with his height; at a ten foot height, he possesses the ability to lift (press) 10 tons, while at a 25 foot height he possesses the ability to lift (press) roughly 50 tons.
Known Superhuman Powers: Giant-Man possesses the power to change his size, growing rapidly between his normal six foot height and a maximum observed height of twenty five feet. It is currently unknown whether he can grow to sizes larger than that; he theorizes that he could reach a height of one hundred feet, though he has not yet pushed himself to test that theory. As he grows, his strength increases to superhuman levels, and his muscle mass increases to where he becomes superhumanly durable.
Other Abilities: Bill Foster is a skilled boxer, physicist, and chemist.

I'd originally intended to keep him in his civilian identity, but letting him go full-on Giant-Man proved too tempting.
