The Atom.
Dr. Pym makes for perfect "wallpaper" (as someone else put it) for the Marvel Universe. A great team member, but uninteresting on his own (needing the Wasp from early on to provide some spark). After his bouts with depression, self-doubt, schizophrenic insanity, and ultimately his ill-tempered breakdown, he's the poster child for "too many desperate writers" syndrome at Marvel. Once someone's tagged with the insanity plotline, it becomes much, much too easy to have them conveniently "relapse" later on.
Hey, just look at what it did to the Atom's wife...
