Fan Casting Whirlwind in Edgar Wright's Astonishing Ant-Man

David Cannon was a small-time criminal who didn't realize he was a mutant until reaching adulthood. When he discovered his powers while running a con posing as an ice figure skater, it didn't take him long to put them to use. He started by contacting the Tinkerer to build him some weapons he could use while using his powers, then developed the identity of the Whirlwind. As part of one con, he decided to replace Janet van Dyne's chauffeur in order to learn how to access the van Dyne fortune. He did this by kidnapping the regular chauffeur and holding him hostage in a warehouse, then applying for the job under the assumed name of Charles Matthews. As Matthews, he soon learned that van Dyne was the Wasp, and eventually from listening to her he pieced together that her scientist boyfriend Hank Pym was Ant-Man, both members of the Avengers. Eventually, however, he got greedy and made a move to rob the bank housing the van Dyne fortune. This put him in direct conflict with the Diminutive Duo and their ally Giant-Man, who defeated him. While awaiting trial, the Whirlwind was busted out by the Crimson Cowl, who wanted to recruit him for her Lethal Legion. While desiring revenge on Ant-Man and Wasp for his earlier defeat, Whirlwind did not agree with the Cowl's idea of killing them, preferring instead to humiliate them, and declined to join, flying away instead. The Whirlwind has twice more fought Ant-Man and Wasp, being defeated each time, although on the first occasion he managed to escape. He is currently in prison awaiting trial.
