Big Man is the name of different fictional characters appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. The known characters who have gone by the name of Big Man are Frederick Foswell, his daughter Janice Foswell, and his son Frederick Foswell Jr. The MC2 version of Big Man is the son of Hank Pym and Wasp.

Frederick Foswell was the first person to assume the Big Man mantle.^[1] He used to be a reporter for the Daily Bugle, but in reality he lived a secret life as a criminal boss named Big Man. He was eventually defeated by Spider-Man, after which he reformed and eventually sacrificed himself to save J. Jonah Jameson from being shot.

Janice Foswell is the daughter of the original Big Man (Frederick Foswell) and sought to follow in her father's footsteps to gain control of the New York underworld. She was soon joined by a new Crime Master and Sandman.^[2]

She and her Enforcers were defeated by Spider-Man, the Human Torch and the Sons of the Tiger. Over a dispute about eliminating Spider-Man and the Sons, Janice was killed by the Crime Master who turned out to be her fiancé and son of the original Crime-Master (Nick Lewis Jr.) as both had separately pursued vengeance against Spider-Man without knowledge of each other's identity.^[3]

Frederick Foswell Jr. is the son of Frederick Foswell and the brother of Janice Foswell. He took over the Big Man role to gain revenge for the death of his father and sister, which he blamed on Spider-Man. Using one of Arcade's Murderworlds, Foswell Jr. attacks Spider-Man with a giant robot before being defeated and arrested.^[4]

Hank Pym Jr. is the son of Hank Pym and Janet van Dyne in the MC2 universe. He inherits his father's size-shifting powers and takes the Big Man name, briefly joining the Revengers before going straight and joining a government-sponsored team.^[5]

The Ultimate Marvel equivalent is named Mr. Big, a mobster and leader of the Enforcers.^[6] Mr. Big was scheming to overthrow Wilson Fisk, using Spider-Man as a secret weapon before being killed by the former.^[7]
