American Comics: The Invincible Wheel of Fortune

Speaking of which, Aaron hasn't had a formal conversation with Tony since Ultron.

Tony has been in a big mess since then. Not only has he taken a back seat in his official capacity, hiding behind the scenes, but he has also lost contact with the Avengers. He has recently devoted himself to the development of the Stark Group and is very busy.

To put it bluntly, I felt embarrassed and couldn't find the shame to admit my mistake, so I simply avoided seeing him.

If this guy doesn't come to him proactively, Aaron won't bother to pay attention to him.

"I, am I really okay?"

Dr. Hank Pym may say it all, but Scott Lang still takes his heart a little bit.

Scott is a nice guy, and he also has a lot of ideas, but he has no responsibilities and has not yet inspired the consciousness to become a superhero.

"I don't think so."

Ms. Hope, who hurried back, looked anxious: "We have no time..."

As expected, Darren Kraus discovered the secret of Pym particles shrinking creatures.

Hope thought she should be the second generation Ant-Man.

"No! Absolutely not!"

But no matter how he said it, old man Pim just disagreed and didn't say why. He was almost arrogant and unreasonable.

Hope ran away with anger, and Old Man Pim became depressed.

However, Xiaozhi failed to persuade Scott with reason and moved him emotionally. Old Man Pim complained to Scott that he had not managed the relationship with his daughter well, but it made Scott feel the same.

In order to be a part of his daughter Cathy's life openly, Scott finally nodded.

If you want quick results despite a short time, you must rely on high-intensity training.

It's not like a movie montage, where you can succeed by doing a few actions, saying a few witticisms, fiddling with equipment in a seemingly advanced way, experiencing setbacks, and then making progress.

The reality is that Scott is miserable.

He was punished by Hope, the fighting instructor who failed to become Ant-Man.

In someone's eyes, it's actually like novices pecking each other.

It’s just that Scott is the real deal, and Hope is considered a strong little hen.

But he has no intention of being a lightbulb. If we don't fight, we won't get to know each other. It's just a good time for Hope to vent his resentment, and it will also help to build up the team.

The various skill training of the Ant-Man suit hit a wall at every turn.

Literally speaking, it is difficult to grasp the timing of shrinkage and recovery, and it is hard to hit the door and fight against the wall.

Familiar with all kinds of ants, I almost got trypophobia.

Scott also needs to devise a way to infiltrate Pym's technology.

If we keep going at this pace, if Scott is forced to take over, he may actually need to cheat with the protagonist's halo.

"Never adjust to a smaller reduction level."

"Why?"

"Once you shrink to a smaller order of magnitude, and the molecules in your body break through the 'concept' of atomic distances and become 'subatomic,' you enter a special realm of hyperreality where there is no concept of time or space. There’s no way out, you’re banished there forever.”

[Quantum realm... It sounds more like a special dimension than a scientific phenomenon, just like the mirror space. Pym particles are the way to enter. 】

Scott, an electronic engineering genius himself, wanted to adjust the Ant-Man suit, but was severely reprimanded and warned by Dr. Pym.

Unlike some mad scientists who will commit suicide the more you say this, Scott said that as a humble citizen, he only listens to others' advice to eat enough.

But this guy really has potential. Even though he is nearly forty years old, he is very physically and energetically strong. If he trains well when he is young, he can reach a level close to the limit of human physical fitness.

I really stuck to this intensive emergency training.

Hope was still dissatisfied, and told Old Man Pim again that she should come.

The two fathers and daughters parted on bad terms again.

It was Scott who persuaded Hope to come back after making peace with both sides, and the two also had a little ambiguity.

Old Man Pim finally told the truth.

Hope's mother, the original Wasp, was accidentally shrunk to the subatomic level and entered the quantum realm during a mission, and the father and daughter lost her.

This is also the reason why Pym insisted not to let Hope become the second generation Ant-Man.

After everything was said and done, the training was officially completed. Scott also successfully completed all training and met Dr. Pym's requirements.

I have to say that this guy has a bit of talent for "becoming Ant-Man". His skills in using Ant-Man's suit and controlling ant colonies are just of little use in daily life, so he probably didn't get to this point.

Then comes the last actual combat training.

Invade the Avengers headquarters and retrieve a device called a signal camouflage machine in order to sneak into Pym Technology.

They have already cooperated, so it doesn't matter if they come directly, but it can be used as a practical training session to allow Scott to gain more proficiency.

It is also to help test the Avengers' security system, and to preview how to counter the Wasp suit if the operation fails.

However, it would be impossible for one Ant-Man to deal with all the members of the Avengers, so only Falcon Sam was left behind, 1V1, which can be regarded as minimizing the difficulty.

"Sam didn't respond well. He knew that the opponent had the ability to shrink, so he locked onto the target and still pursued him at close range."

"Well, we should keep it locked and find a way to force it into the headquarters' defense range."

"Natasha, what would you do if it were you?"

"Me, of course..."

A group of people from the Avengers watched with great interest as Sam PKed Scott at the headquarters. The fight was lively and dramatic, and they commented from time to time.

It is said that a fledgling rookie, who had only trained for a short period of time, could compete with Sam the Falcon, who was born in the special forces and had received special training from the Avengers.

Everyone is relatively optimistic about Scott's abilities and opportunities. I heard from Aaron that Black Braised Egg is more inclined to absorb Scott, but it has Pim's relationship and Scott's own choice. , not in a hurry.

Scott finally made a fuss, as if he didn't want to get entangled with Sam, and went directly to get the things, but with a false shot, he ambushed Sam, leveled him, and left smoothly with the things in hand.

"Oh, poor Sam."

"Defeated by ants."

"There's another guy, Ant-Man."

"Brother, do you need me to save your face for you?"

"The amount of training is still not enough."

Everyone in the Avengers laughed and teased Sam, trying to comfort him and not take it seriously.

It can be regarded as recognition of Ant-Man's strength.

"Yeah, yeah, feel free to make fun of him..." Sam was unconvinced and thought he had suffered the loss of not taking it seriously, so he planned to focus on Ant-Man and regain his position.

No one said anything about helping Ant-Man or getting involved in such a big incident.

After all, the Avengers is a superhero organization, and they all have a bit of a hero complex. Since it is Ant-Man's mission and responsibility, and he didn't take the initiative to ask for help, he had to let others try it first, and then tell him if he messed up.

On Scott's side, everything is ready, just waiting for the official start.
