You know who else likes Ms. Marvel's butt?

Ant-Man.

You already know he's kind of a lech if you're reading Marvel comics' The Irredeemable Ant-Man. ("The world's most unlikeable super hero.") Young security guard Eric O'Grady stole the Ant-Man suit, and is living on the run.

And being young, irresponsible, and able-to-shrink-down-to-ant-size, he's been using his powers to peep on the ladies while they're showering...

In Ant-Man #7, he stows away in a blonde woman's purse. (And yes, those were tampons in the background.) He realizes she's a super hero, but then decides maybe her apartment will be as cool as Batman's. "I bet this broad's got all kinds of cool stuff back at her lair. I could probably make off with a dinosaur, or a giant penny."

And then, it happens.

Hm. My 'Ant-Senses' are telling me that sounds unmistakably not unlike a shower running. I must go immediately -- to investigate.

It's followed by eight small panels of Eric O'Grady, sitting motionless on Ms. Marvel's shower head and smiling.

"You'd think this would get old after a while, but you know -- it really doesn't."

Marvel Comics captures the strange scene in their cover for the next issue.

Eventually Ant-Man realizes he's sealed into her flying headquarters, and broods on the ceiling.
("Crap. I'm not going to get my giant penny.")

"Ms. Marvel, Ms. Marvel... I hadn't even heard of you before today, but let me tell you a secret...
You're my all-time favorite super hero."
