393) Size Growth (object)

Size Growth (object) – The ability to make an object and/or another living being grow larger. This power is especially useful if you also have (395) Size Reduction (object). If I have both powers then I can shrink a tank, put the tank in my pocket and then make the object full size when I need a tank. Similar to (394) Size Growth (self).

Literary Critique of Size Growth (object)

Henry Pym used this power when he was a member of the West Coast Avengers because his body could no longer take the strain of growing and shrinking (West Coast Avengers V1 #21).

There is a very good reason Henry Pym has never tried to take over the world with an army of giant ants (West Coast Avengers V2 #19).

If Henry Pym does get past the above glitch above then he might team up with the following species of intelligent ants that appeared in Uncanny Tales #38.

I did run into an interesting tale of a Professor Kravadaka who wants to create giant arthropods the old-fashioned way (Uncanny Tales #38). Spiders are of course not insects but spiders and insects are both arthropods.

Size Growth (object)–Giant Spiders-Uncanny Tales #26-12

In the Silver Age good guys are turned into giants against their will on a regular basis. Sometimes being turned into a giant also turns them evil so you get an evil giant! I guess the moral of the story is that being able to become a giant and then go back to normal size is great but if you are stuck as a giant then being a giant is a curse.
