Eric has the ability to shrink to the size of an ant and grow back to normal size by pressing a button located on the Ant-Man armor's helmet which releases Pym Particles onto the wearer. He is also capable of communicating to ants and, while he is ant-sized, Eric is capable of punching human beings with the same amount of force as a normal-sized person. The Ant-Man armor has three buttons on the helmet that can do various things to the armor. Mode one keeps the uniform intact which can be useful in the case of repairs being needed to the armor or if Eric needs to do something full-size as Ant-Man. Mode two peels the uniform off Eric as he grows to normal size, reducing the size of the uniform and storing it inside the helmet. It remains to be seen what the function of mode three is. Ant-Man is also capable of releasing tentacles that are located at the back of his armor. These tentacles can be used for crawling or flying, it is unclear whether these tentacles are released automatically or manually, or both.
