WARNING: The following article contains spoilers for Ant-Man #1 by Zeb Wells, Dylan Burnett, Mike Spicer and VC's Cory Petit, on sale Wednesday, Feb. 5.
Captain America delivered many memorable lines during his tenure in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Whenever it was time to rally the troops, Steve Rogers would belt out a speech that would instantly bring out the best in Earth's Mightiest Heroes.
However, Cap also had some less-than-stellar quotes in the MCU, most notably in 2015's Avengers: Age of Ultron. The opening battle saw the Avengers storming a Hydra compound to obtain Loki's scepter. When Iron Man flew too close to the Hydra compound, an invisible shield deflected him away, causing the Armored Avenger to yell out a dirty word. Captain America quickly blurted out "Language!" in response, which became a running joke the remainder of the movie.
The most underrated hero in the MCU just borrowed Cap's line in a preview of Ant-Man #1, as Scott Lang reminds his young daughter Cassie, aka Stinger, to watch her potty mouth in the heat of battle with A.I.M. drug runners.
Ant-Man and Stinger track A.I.M. to the Florida Everglades. The duo uses their control over insects to slip some of the technology-altered street drugs off of their boats before revealing themselves. But instead of making a casual debut, Ant-Man and Stinger emerge out of the Florida swamp by using their Pym Particles to increase their size.
The overzealous Stinger screams out, "Haha! In your @#%$# face!" with Ant-Man responding, "Whoa! Language!" This almost mirrors Captain America in Age of Ultron, though the dynamics are totally different from Scott disciplining his daughter, compared to Cap's reaction to Iron Man. Father and daughter argue a bit before one of the A.I.M. goons that Scott is holding asks to be let down, since he likes to talk a lot with his hands.
The solicitation for Ant-Man #1 teases the titular hero joining forces with "local beekeepers," which could be a nod to the beekeeper suits worn by Advanced Idea Mechanics. Knowing how Scott Lang works, it wouldn't be surprising to see him go from fighting A.I.M. to working for them. But instead of getting in trouble himself, Ant-Man is going to bring his daughter along for the wild ride.
