For the last two years Hank Pym has been working with Tony Stark on a global defense android—an adaptive peacekeeper meant to replace superheroes. Tony warns that A.I. can’t be fully trusted, but Hank is obsessed with ending risk forever. Janet worries he’s disappearing into the mission and ignoring present dangers. Those dangers wear a familiar face. Former student Justin Hammer unveils the “Hammer Particle,” a rival shrink-tech, and launches a New Ant-Man program using ex-con Eric O’Grady. Hank can’t sue—his patents don’t cover Hammer’s changes. To his frustration, the new Ant-Man becomes a sensation, even teaming with other heroes. Hank buries his guilt in his android project. The truth surfaces when Eric kidnaps Hammer and threatens to drop him from the Empire State Building unless he gains control of Hammer Tech. The world watches. Few heroes respond. Janet forces Hank to see this isn’t justice. He unlocks a sealed prototype: the Yellow Jacket armor. Yellow Jacket and Wasp confront Eric atop the tower. Janet rescues Hammer while Hank fights. Eric is quicker; Hank is older. Losing ground, Hank tackles him off the edge, destroying the wings. They fall—Janet saves them at the last second. Eric lunges again but Hammer remotely shuts the suit down. Arrest follows. Hammer is fined. Hank shelves Yellow Jacket, unsettled by how reckless it felt. He returns to the android.
