Henry Pym, having created the serum to shrink, has become a student of ants. The government hired Henry Pym and his lab to create a gas that serves to immunize people against radiation. The Russians send some spies to seize it, kidnapping the scientists. Henry eludes them by shrinking himself once again. Thanks to the help of the ants, Pym manages to stop the Russian spies and save the scientists. Later he returns to his office to avoid anyone noticing his absence. In this way the Ant-Man acts for the first time as such, without anyone knowing.
