I've always viewed Hank Pym as kind of an old man anyway, to be honest. So much of his early Avengers behaviour can be viewed as a mid-life crisis (growth formula=sports car), and he only gets older from there, right?

There’s a line in one of the early Ant-Man stories about Hank being twice Jan’s age. So if she was 18 when they met and she became the Wasp, that would make Hank 36. And since then, around 13 years have passed. So yes, Hank is relatively older than many of the other characters from that era, he’s more a contemporary of Reed Richards and Ben Grimm.
