where Hank Pym is consumed by Ultron and is lost in space. Scott Lang remembers
his last adventure with him as they deal with Egghead and his assistant Raz
Malhotra who was forced into helping him. Egghead acquired A.I Avengers which
was abandoned by Hank years ago. Giant Man and Ant Man defeat the A.I Avengers
and captures Egghead. Scott finally gets the answers he was looking for including
why Hank allowed him to keep his helmet. In the present the Wasp brings Scott
the Last Will and Testament of Hank which includes the lab within his helmet.
