So does shrunken Peter have the proportional strength of a man with the proportional strength of a spider?

I love that Spidey's reaction to Ant-Man getting shrink gassed is just like "oh, suck it up, you god drat baby".

Right now, he has the strength of a spider. Not the proportional strength.

Are you sure? He might have the proportional strength of a spider-sized man with the proportional strength of a man-sized spider!

It's still the proportional strength. He's just the proportion of a regular spider at the moment.

No, that's always been an Ant-Man thing. And most shrinking heroes too honestly, they're usually abnormally strong for their size.

Isn't it some poo poo about them not actually shrinking, they just become more dense because of the space between and in atoms or some nonsense?

Also, if they didn't have that as a gimme, it would be a pretty terrible power. "Look out, I'm small now! I can't fly or anything, but I am very small! Given a long piece of string and some time, I could probably climb into your ear and punch your eardrum!"

There's different explanations but yeah. It basically amounts to "we need some excuse why these guys are capable of heroing."

I could think of plenty of things you can do while small even if you don't keep your strength.

It depends how small and in what context. Like, it'd definitely be great for a lot of scientific and medical work, among other things, but if Shrinks Man is trying to stop any sort of immediately happening crime and his gimmick is "reduce self to one inch tall with land speed of 3cm/second", that's not a great hammer for that particular nail.

But what about The Atom? AFAIK he doesn't have strength when he shrinks.
