[Ant-Man/Iron Man/MCU] Hank Pym scoffs at the Iron Man suit but the military is obviously envious. Seems like engineering vs. 'pure' science. But what powers Pym's suit? Is it the particle? Furthermore, could Hank Pym have engineered something as good as Tony's suit? (spoiler)

When Scott Lang compares his suit to Iron Man's, Hank Pym literally scolds him for making such a comparison - basically suggests Tony's suit is just a child's toy. So he seems like a 'pure' scientist making fun of a (seemingly) brilliant engineer. Got that.

But... what is an actual comparison of the two suits like? What formulations make the Ant Man suit, which must have some sort of power source (talking to ants, activating the Pym particles, powering his discs I guess....), necessarily better or more powerful than Iron Man's? What is driving Hank Pym's opinion here - just that Tony is always a businessman first and an engineer second - but not necessarily a scientist?

Is Hank Pym unaware that Tony literally constructed a new element - or does he not find it very impressive because it was just his dad's work? 

In Endgame (spoiler alert) they use the Pym particles to construct a time machine and then go back in time and wreak havoc. In that scene we see the time machine hooked up for extraordinarily powerful capabilities, thus allowing it to activate the particles and launch them into the Quantum Realm.

What powers Pym's suit, and (presuming the Arc Reactor provides more power because Tony's expends a lot of power, and also because it takes an obscene amount of really rare materials, and also because Tony would have had access to similar if not better technology than Pym - at least, would have had something similar?) what is the overall power difference present in the two kinds of batteries?

"Can the Iron Man armor ***shrink?!?***  No? Then it sucks. End of story."

Plus, Pym has a history with Howard, and he's fairly petty, so anything Stark-related is going to suck in his eyes.
