Depending on the form of persuasion you might be able to, but I doubt it. It's not like his head exploding would work into his day that much.
Only way I see it is if they threaten someone else, such as his daughter Ellie?

So far so good, right?
Name:
Scott Lang, AKA Ant-Man
Alignment:
Chaotic Good
Affiliation:
The Justice League of America
History:
After Scott Lang realized that he couldn't support his family through his repair work, he decided to use his skills to turn towards burglary, stealing just enough to get by. It wasn't long before Scott was apprehended and sentenced to spend the next years of his life behind bars. During this time, his wife Peggy divorced him, so when Scott got out four years later on early parole, he found that he had nowhere to go.
Wanting to continue to providing for his family, especially his daughter Cassie, Scott managed to get a job at a Wayne Enterprises branch as part of their ex-offenders employment scheme. Life gradually started to get better, that was until Cassie got sick, having been diagnosed as having a serious congenital heart condition. Desperate to help his daughter, Scott sought the aid of surgeon Dr. Erica Sondheim. However Scott soon discovered that she was mysteriously being held by Cross Technological Enterprises against her will.
Breaking into the home of Dr Henry Pym, the infamous Ant-Man, Scott stole the man's old Ant-Man suit, which he used in order to break into Cross Enterprises. Here he discovered that Dr. Sondheim was being held captive by the company's founder Darren Cross, who sought to use her to heal his own heart condition. During the struggle that unfolded, the villainous Darren Cross passed away after his heart gave way, allowing Scott to escape with Sondheim whom managed to save his daughter's life.
Scott was intent on returning the suit, however before he could Hank Pym informed Scott that he had watched Scott during his confrontation with Cross. Pym felt that Scott had what it took to take on the mantle of the Ant-Man full time, an offer Scott graciously agreed.
Having moved to New York, Scott fought as Ant-Man for around a year before he was approached by the Legendary Lex Luthor into joining his Justice League. Eager to make Cassie proud, he accepted.

Taskmaster - Due to having fought against the guy on more than one occasion, Scott sees the man as one of his arch-nemeses. Taskmaster would disagree.
How (if at all) does the New Frontier version of your character differ from the original?:
Scott doesn't really differ much from his comic iteration. Here however he worked briefly for Wayne Enterprises (I assumed that such a company would have ex-offender employment schemes or something). I'm basing the majority of how I play Scott on his current comic run, in that he's trying to care for his daughter, despite his ex-wife's protests, as well as the fact that I'd like to portray Scott as the "funny guy" i fell in love with.

Don't think about it too much. If you want to play Scott Lang as Ant-Man, you play Scott Lang as Ant-Man. Don't write a thousand word history explaining the transition. Hank Pym exists, he made the technology and was Ant-Man for a period, now Scott Lang is.
Fair enough, I'll try and get something up as soon as I can then!

Seems to me that if we're counting from Batman's first appearance, heroes have been around four years (three if we're counting the Superman/Magneto battle). Either way, I think there's wiggle room there to say that Hank had a brief Ant-Man stint already, leaving the door open for Scott. But of course, I have no power here, just thinking aloud.
Yeah that was what I was thinking, although i thought that it would be best to ask first just in case!
Since my previous sheet went entirely against the whole one universe thing and stemming on the ultimate side of things, I was considering reapplying with someone else.
I had eyes on both Captain Marvel/Shazam or Ant-Man, both of which would be members of the Justice League if possible. I was leaning towards Ant-Man, as i thought someone who could shrink would suit nicely against the team's other more godly members. However I would prefer to play as Scott but i wasn't sure if that would be a feasible option?

In all seriousness, are there any characters people want to see who haven't been done yet? I'm debating is it worth getting into the murky depths of the sea with Aquaman, but if he shares the oceans with Namor, could be awkward...
Was honestly considering Aquaman, although the whole Namor thing put me off :P
EDIT: Also @Gowi has my vote! Apologies @Morden Man

Guys, I appreciate the effort some of you are going to in order to integrate your character into the wider universe but let's try not to create too much continuity before the game has even begun, shall we? This isn't directed at anyone in particular but when I said that this game is set in the present, I meant it.
Don't get caught up on the history portion. Explain where and how it diverts from the mainstream origin - if it does at all - and try (and this is the most important part) not to create continuity that will hamper anybody else.
Now i feel slightly worried about my sheet as I've done just that! :/ I'll post it anyway when i get home in a few hours. See what people say and adapt accordingly!
So I finally got around to picking up Lego Avengers for my son [and me, but nobody ever thinks about that LOL], and I am in awe at how many 3rd and 4th stringers are in this game. I was bummed at first... no Fantastic 4 characters and no X characters meant no Human Torch and characters like Havok would be lost.... but then my son earned the Golden Age Human Torch in his most current SHIELD attire. I almost lost it I was so happy. Then after a quick google search I found out characters like Thunderstrike, the Mighty Destroyer, Jack of Hearts, Blazing Skull, Capt. Universe, and others were in the game! And arguably the GREATEST addition, Lou Ferrigno in the same security guard attire he wore in his cameo in the last Hulk solo film... but he STILL changes into the Hulk. Albeit just a regular sized Lego minifig painted like the Hulk.... BUT STILL. I almost lost it.
I thought I enjoyed the first Lego Marvel game, but my excitement for this game has far surpassed what I felt for the other. My love for obscure characters has been answered in this game...
~KL~
I quite liked it, although at times i found the game quite annoying or bothersome to play. I would have liked to see the X-men and F4 although i can understand why they're not there! Don't get me wrong i loved most of the characters, i just found that elements of game sucked, such as having to waiting ages until free roam was officially unlocked. I didn't really care for the main story too much, since it was one we've all seen before, and i personally hated the use of the movie voice overs as that kind of limited what they could do! Combat seemed annoying to me too, as i'd end up getting swarmed during missions while trying to build stuff, etc, and it took ages to kill them unless you had a super strong character! That's just my opinion on it i guess!
I'll be honest, I was expecting a few 'lel killer moth is stupid"s.
You guys and your lack of judgment saddens me.
Honestly wanted to have a go at playing Killer Moth myself as I have an idea i've been dying to try for ages! :P However I can't be bothered to compete with you
