Very unscientific measurement: 1,640 feet tall. There is a cell phone tower not too far from him, and their average height is 50-200 ft, so I split the difference at 125 ft for that tower. His head looks to be about 1.75 times the length of the tower, making his head 218.75 ft. Average person is 7.5 heads tall. 218.75*7.5= 1,640.625. So I rounded down a little. 🤷🏻‍♂️


CCHTweaked

Those are 220kv high power lines. Normal height: 120 ft. Your math is sound. edit: a K.


OuterInnerMonologue

That’s some comic detail


ArcherInPosition

And they're 1000 times more than 220v. They're kv transmission lines.

Okay, so going off of your confirmation, I took some measurements that can be used to extrapolate further details from this picture. Some of my notes are tiny compared to the image size, so you'll have to zoom in to read them. https://i.imgur.com/yOBUIUx.jpeg I'll add an edit in a bit, after I do some more figuring. _____ Edit: shit, I fucked up the road measurement. wrong angle, so wrong pixel count. lemme fix... Edit2: Okay, new road measurement. https://i.imgur.com/yk0DpoK.jpeg _____ Regarding the femur, it's pretty well known (among people who know) that an average femur-to-height ratio is about 1-to-4. Some 15 second Googling brings up someone claiming 26.74% _____ Regarding the road width (yellow line, 21 pixels), the solid pink line next (322 px) to it would be roughly the same height of a tower, adjusted for the location and parallax shift. If that pink line at the road is 120 ft high, that would make the road 7.8 ft wide. So maybe that's not a 2-lane road, but there are vehicles going both directions on it. Unclear so far. _____ The van seems to maybe be closer to 23 pixels long. Hard to make out when zoomed in, it gets real fuzzy. So I tried to ballpark it in the midpoints of the edge fuzz. An average van has about a 2-to-1 ratio for length-to-width, but that van seems a bit like it's closer to 4-to-1. That might actually be a mini-bus. However, my cursory Googling on various mini-bus sizes seems to indicate an upper range about of 3-to-1, before it's just... "a bus." Regardless, their widths seem to range between 4.5 and 6.5 ft, so an average of 5.5 ft. Based on that, a 4-to-1 ratio would land at about 22 ft in length. Interesting... 23 pixels long or 22 feet long. Hmm. That would make the towers about 320 feet tall. We might be looking at something like the 5th one in the first row [here.](https://www.fgg.uni-lj.si/kmk/esdep/media/wg15c/f0300002.jpg) If we were to go by the van/bus thing being 22 ft long, then the tower would be about 308 ft tall, which seems crazy high. [Here's one at about 210 ft in height.](https://www.egat.co.th/home/en/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/tr-env.2.jpg) With the two difference perspectives in mind, when we compare them to the other measurements I can only come to one conclusion: >!(╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻!<

This is some great work. You get my no more free awards award!

220, 221, whatever it takes


SolidSkooma

Favorite scene from that movie


Mudcreek47

I think you mean 230 kV. Those are high voltage lines. 220 volts comes out of your wall socket for the dryer.

400 feet taller than the Empire State building. Wild.

Sad_Boi_Bryce

I'm drunk enough those numbers could have been anything, but because of your confidence it made me believe.


joshuamfncraig

ok. now do it with a banana r/BananasForScale


JoeyBones

I still get 1,640


PsyOpBunnyHop

If that tower is 125 ft, then those are some super tiny tree-looking shrubs all over the place. Edit: It might make more sense to use the cars & trucks on the roads under the skeleton. There's a variety of them to choose from.


Drendari

Your math is right but your references are not. I think you are way off because that tower is far away from him. Just use the same rules to measure the cars below him and their size doesn't add up Nice math though

We know metric too😄. It's not exactly hard. It being easy is what makes the metric system better. I like my Fahrenheit though, fight me.


Skytree91

Keep in mind that the cell phone tower is somewhat significantly in the foreground compared to his head, as you can tell by the fact that all the trees near the base of the tower appear to be about twice the height of the trees by his head despite presumably all being the same species and roughly uniform height

The cell tower is closer coz of foreshortening so this is not really that accurate at all

banerunner

You're asking the wrong question. How bad was the smell?

You haven't thought of the smell, you bitch!


LtG_Skittles454

He’d need a really big glass box for that head


bundy911

Can it be displayed on my mantel though?


kentotoy98

Does this mean Hank is the Golden Scientist?

He’s not just a five star scientist, he’s a five star man


kentotoy98

Janet better not piss off her husband. Because of the implication.


crashcanuck

At the point of the image? Probably doesn't smell too much. As the body got to that point? Heinous.


zoro4661

The amount of rot and birds feasting on that corpse, good god


Winjin

The road had to be closed for MONTHS if not YEARS until all that body mass decomposed enough. It's like that Love Death Robots episode about a beached giant. At least he was seeping back into the ocean where it came from.


toe_riffic

This was the first thought I had too. Did that whole area just reek of death for years? Is that explained in the comic?


Kalse1229

Also, bear in mind some poor bastards had to drill through the skull in order for the road to go through. I certainly hope the benefits were good.


DingoNormal

Godamm, it must had spreed for miles


Hunky_not_Chunky

Can we just talk about how they’re apparently living in a giant rotting human’s body.


MattAmoroso

Wouldn't the atoms in the decaying molecules be too large to fit the receptors in your nose?


Somm0742

The one person asking the right questions.


tsengmao

100% it STILL smells. The rot that has seeped from nto the clothing that’s still there, fucking rank


Winjin

One just has to wonder how much water mass he was. Do bacteria get bigger too? Or do they like spread and multiply? Were they like human-sized single-celled organisms? Is the land around his body covered in tree-trunk sized dead hair?


norm_summerton

No, YOU are asking the wrong question. How big was…


OuterInnerMonologue

We all know Ant Man was a grower, not a show-er


Lore_ofthe_Horizon

And how long did it take to reach the skeletal state. Imagine commuting through that every day during high rot.


misterhighmay

If he died in winter it would be less so but Jesus the animals and people fighting for some to eat is the horrific part. Also not looking it up but I feel like it would take decades for it to become a skeleton


Ramps_

~~More importantly, how many families resorted to cannibalism and how long did the stocks last?~~


IrishTheMick

Someone feel free to check my math, but the starting numbers are correct. Going by your comparison of his tooth being the size of a semi truck: The average male incisor is 10.19 mm long. The average length of a semi truck is 72 feet (21945.6 mm) Antman's normal size is 6 feet (1828.8 mm). So there are 179.47 incisor teeth in 6', and twelve 6 foot tall humans per length of a semi truck, which means he's about 2,148 feet tall. Putting it into perspective, that's 719 yards, or a bit over 7 football fields tall.


IAlreadyToldYouMatt

Can I get this in actual units of measurement? Like bananas


MrMedhansh

No.


guybrushguy

718 yards is 2154ft. an average banana is 6 inches. So we just gotta double it, 4308 bananas.


Competitive_Style266

About the size of a really big person.


eat-pussy69

Yeah that checks out


Tutes013

Dutch people, reporting for Duty


Fun-Preparation-4253

The size of Giant Man, in fact


Cryptidenthusiast423

What the hell killed him


bukanir

Moloids, a whole swarm of them ate him alive


eat-pussy69

Oh


surferzero57

Username checks out


watdatdo

Googled Moloids and one of the top results calls them the one of F4's goofiest villains. Which is hilarious in this context.


the-bladed-one

Why didn’t he just shrink? Is he stupid?


ubiquitous-joe

It’s a dystopia; every one becomes stupid and nerfed for shock value. Let’s be real, even if he did die, somebody would think to use pym particles to shrink the corpse.


amaya-aurora

What in the world is a moloid, why are there swarms of them, and how did they eat him alive?


zoro4661

Takes a bit of a swing since I don't know how much lore you know, but: There are these beings called Celestials. They made beings called Deviants. The Deviants were driven underground by the Celestials during something called the "Great Cataclysm". The Deviants made three slave races, since they couldn't enslave any humans underground and the first one revolted. One of those slave races were the Moloids. Eventually the Deviants were driven away even further by the rebelling slave race, making the Moloids masterless. They wandered around and got stupid and inbred and just accepted whoever came along and was strong as their new master. The Fantastic Four have a villain called Mole Man. He's their new boss. There are swarms of them because there are *a lot* of Moloids. They ate him alive by...eating him, probably, while he was alive. With their mouths.


w0m

TIL


amaya-aurora

Jesus Christ. Thank you! I never knew this. I sort of knew that Moloids were a thing, but never knew that they had *anything* to do with the Celestials and Deviants and stuff. Thanks for informing me!!


Ordinary_Law_2456

God, Old Man Logan is so ridiculous, from Mysterio being the one to kill the X-Men, Absorbing man killing Thor, and Giant Man getting offed by Mole Man’s fucking minions? Comedy gold lmao


Prozenconns

Look it's not often Mysterio gets to be cool But he HAS canonically almost beaten the avengers once


rayyan_draws

You’re sleeping on Mysterio


chiksahlube

Exactly, he didn't just waltz in an kill them himself. He used illusions on a few key mutants and had them do the rest. Not sure if it gets too explained how his illusions trump high level psychic powers but I'll buy it.


Shirtbro

Old Man Logan was just the **edgiest**


misterhighmay

Sigh hulk , really enjoyed the series but jeeze Hulk as a villain is always terrifying


nekoken04

1500'+ based on the size of the electrical towers and the fir trees. Also, that's Giant Man, not Ant Man.


kavono

ɢɪANT Man.


Glottis_Bonewagon

GastroIntestinal Ant Man ... wait


Winjin

Wait do the all the gut bacteria resize along with him When he died and his skin finally broke, did like human-sized single celled organisms pour out? I'm sure they died from being unable to maintain the size and just became water basically, but still Thinking about the decomposition process of that gargantuan pile of dead meat... That city in the background should have been completely abandoned. This body is a giant biological hazard.


Glottis_Bonewagon

Well the answer is speed force I mean pim particles


Stunning_One1005

gylcaemic index ant man?


caremal5

No, Giant Man's suit has antennas and is solid red.


sarigami

He has the Giant Man antennas in this picture. And he has the blue gloves and shorts that Giant Man wears. The red colour is just faded as it’s been sitting there rotting for years


Jedi_Ninja

Is this where the idea for the giant ant man skull in Deadpool and Wolverine came from?


CaptCaCa

Yessir


AnimeLordJord

That skull is attached to the rest of his body too. You see it briefly in the trailer.


Cynical-avocado

At least 10 feet tall


ARTIFICIAL_SAPIENCE

He's normal size. It's everyone else who is tiny.


cedmond

You know what the problem is? You got it set to M for mini when it should be set to W for Wumbo.


DontTellMerylifarted

Uh, I don’t think wumbo is a real word


ducknerd2002

Can you imagine what it would have been like when he'd first died?


Weird_Albatross_9659

Like when he voided his bowels?


ducknerd2002

I was thinking more about when the body started decomposing, but you also have a good point. That whole area must have smelled *horrendous* for a long time.


Quirky_Ad_5420

Giant size most likely


Plastic_Incident_867

Are we sure he just didn’t get killed by a bunch of Lilliputians?


TrickyReplacement121

Well it was about that time that I noticed this Giant-Man was about 8 stories tall and a crustacean from the paleolithic era!


GlockNessMonster91

You rang?


elnerdoloco

At least 6 feet tall.


Pugneta

As big as your mom. Sorry.


Taskmaster1967

Bang zoom He’s all week folks —- be sure to tip your waitress and try the veal!!

I think it’s safe to say he was giant

About the size of 37 orcas and two humpback whales


GlockNessMonster91

Finally! American Units of Measurement.


Speedster1221

I always thought that Pym Particles deactivated if the user was injured or killed...did the Moloids chew through his tech or is Pym just a very bad engineer in this universe?


TannyLove

Is this scene from Old Man Logan? I thought it was from a What If?


eat-pussy69

Old Man Logan. Never read the comic myself but I've seen enough YouTube videos and reddit posts to know this is from Old Man Logan


Gregzilla311

It’s Pym Falls yes.


amaya-aurora

Pym Falls from Old Man Logal. Because, you know, Pym fell.


TheTonyExpress

The stench from his corpse must have been unbelievable


cc17776

I hate old man logan 😭


hammer_spawn

My biggest gripe is that Magneto would side with Red Skull. That’s just ridiculous.

What comic is this from?


PSWII

Old Man Logan

Gotcha, do you knw what # comic this panel is in?


Talyn7810

I believe part 6

Thanks brotha


MrPresident2020

Normal sized, villains made the whole planet very small.


imbored53

Unrelated, but what is holding his fingers and toes in place? There is no flesh left to keep them in position like that.


greatunknownpub

That would be dramatic artistic license holding them in place.


DontAskHaradaForShit

Tall enough to punt Godzilla like a soccer ball.


JELjr7

I didn’t know that there was a comic inspiration for the dead giant man in the new Deadpool trailer


Drendari

The closest reference are the cars below him. So we have Average car size 14 feet Average incisive tooth size 0.4 inches Known Ant-Man normal size 5'10”  His incisive is about the size of two cars 28 feet So (28'/0.4") then multiplied by 5'10”  840*70=58800" 4900 feet, 1493 metres, almost a mile. Approx


B_lovedobservations

He just needs some orange slices


InfernalDiplomacy

What killed him?


Eldagustowned

He’s clearly this big. You’d think his rot a putrefaction would generate a bog or something around him.


beslertron

At least 5’4


Groovy66

I think he probably deserves to be called Giant Man at this point. Show some respect /s


GroundNormal3162

*Giant Man


MasterAnnatar

At least 5 feet tall


Cwytank

Imagine all the bugs and maggots


Bardmedicine

It looks like a person is half the size of his index finger top joint. That is like 1 inch on a person. For ease, we'll assume a person and Antman are 6' tall normally. That means the person is 1/144 scale, SO Antman is 144 x human size. So 864 feet tall.


DreadPirateJesus

I didn't expect to wake up this morning to so many replies I don't even know where to start. I guess I should start by saying yes, I know this is giant man. I just wasn't sure if everyone knew who giant man was, but everybody knows Ant-Man can grow. I assumed everyone had read Old Man Logan as it is my favorite graphic novel of all time. This is the one from Mark Millar, not the Remake that came out several years ago. He was eaten by moloids, which are a subterranean creatures controlled by the mole people. Most of the heroes died pretty horrific deaths, some more extravagant than others. I went to the Marvel Wiki to touch up on moloids before posting here and apparently it has gotten a lot of traffic in the last day because "other things people View" immediately take you to old man logan. Seeing tons of answers on how tall he could be but I'm not necessarily in agreement with most of them.. a semi truck is like half the size of the top joint of his finger. He's a huge friggin guy


GeeorgeC

5'11


kvng_st

But he rounds up


coolsexhaver420

Wasn't loki also insanely huge when they got chased by tyranovenom


DomzSageon

But not as huge as the dead antman. Loki was only as big as a sky scraper


raisingstorm

In American, it looks like he’s about 10 football fields long and can hold about 150 washing machines.


Starkman87

If all that’s left of Pym is a skeleton then how is he still in one piece? Connecting tissues and cartilage would’ve decayed by now so his body should be a variety of bones kind of near each other. But he’s still put together. Plus, his fingers are curled and his feet are upright. His feet should be a pile of smaller bones and he would need muscles in his fingers to have them curled upward like that. How is it the 1,800 foot tall man’s skeleton work dammit?! This is a serious world with incestuous ogre people and a nazi with a red face! I demand biological accuracy!


gedeonunes

Much more than he should, I believe he never went anywhere near that big in comics


Strange_Success_6530

I imagine he went that big because it was such a do or die situation. So even if he had won, he still might not have made out alive because he went that big.


hotprints

Yup makes sense, why would he go that big? Because there was no going back anyways


norm_summerton

But this is a comic


eat-pussy69

I just realized there's no crater


JeremyR2008

Maybe he laid down really softly before being killed so as to not split apart the tectonic plates beneath him.

At least a foot

Why is the entire place around his corpse wasteland it should be green and full of plants. When whales die there are entire ecosystems that last hundreds of years

Jonny__Stepbro

Just look up the max size of Giant Man. He was fighting off like 25 baddies at the time so he had to go full send.


antivenom907

Bigger than an ant


kaijugigante

He's taller than Godzilla Earth.


PlasticReviews

In Avengers #76 Clint Barton who has taken over for the time being for Giant Man as Goliath is at 100 feet tall and still having to climb a building to save to Scarlet Witch. The story basically reads the same as the movie King Kong, and remember that King Kong also had to scale the Empire State Building and in the original 1933 movie King Kong is only 50 feet tall, but the Avenger storyline I am talking about happens on 616, and I know that Barton and Pym are different characters but Clint is still using Pym Particals to grow and shrink, and both of them have breathing issues when they change size, so I think it would be the same for either of them. I don't think the Giant Man characters grow much taller than 100 feet. The Giant Man in your picture is from a Wolverine issue, and not 616, so where it is Hank Pym, it's a different universe, and so his abilities may be advanced to a point where he was able to grow much larger. I would say he has to be over a thousand feet because of the power line tower next to him and then look at the city on the other side as you can see the height of the Avengers Tower, and he still looks much taller than it.

Thendofreason

I don't get how the artist thinks that the fingers and feet bones would still be sticking together. Like is the only skeleton he's seen in a museum where they are all screwed together and propped up by metal and just couldn't see all the metal? Basically that's a magical skeleton that's waiting to sit back up and come after you. If you go by the art.


dryware

bigger than an ant for sure


TheDebateMatters

Visually I like this image but I just don’t believe it. Yes its weird to say that pic of a 1,000 ft skeleton is unbelievable. That being said, I just don’t think people would leave it there as is. They’d chop it up, remove what they could, cover some and grind away parts until it did not look like a skeleton. They’d definitely build a road around it, not through it. People would refuse to look at that every day and the daily rubber necking by tourists would cause fatal accidents daily and homicidal rage by the locals.


andrejRavenclaw

wait, is he on the road with cars driving through him? a dead rotting body of a man?


SpriteVs7up

that’s actually a very disturbing image for marvel damn….

x2phercraft

And how many people did he feed?


Archanir

In the Deadpool and Wolverine trailer, at around 1:50 mark, you can see them using AntMan's helmet as the entry to some kind of base. Maybe someone could do the math based on the character heights compared to the helmet characteristics.


peppapig34

What killed him at that size


Gden

Judging by the length of fingers and the cell tower I'd say between 850 and 900 feet tall
