Owner's Description
issue #46 features the return if Ant-Man and his old foe the Human Top, now known as Whirlwind. In the story, Wasp arrives at Avengers HQ accompanied by her new chauffeur Charles. Goliath chides her for bringing an unknown person into the mansion, but she says that she just wanted to introduce him to the team so they know who he is when he comes and goes.
Goliath's suspicions about "Charles" are proven correct as he’s really the villain formerly known as the Human Top from TTA #50 and #51, who became Wasp's chauffeur to get a close-up look at the security parameters at the mansion. Donning a new costume and calling himself Whirlwind, he attacks Goliath and Wasp, and taking them by surprise, defeats them and shrinks them using Goliath's experimental new size-changing ray. He then tosses them into a glass anthill (which Hank was using to test new control circuitry on) and plants a bomb to eliminate the rest of the team.
The ants view Hank and Jan as intruders and attempt to kill them. Hank and Jan flee, but Hank is caught. Jan attacks the ant grasping Hank in his mandibles, killing it. As it turns out, this was the hive's queen, and, without her guidance, the rest of the ants become docile. Using circuits contained in the glass structure, Hank cobbles together a new ant-control helmet and takes over the colony and instructs the ants to transport him and Jan to the surface.
Meanwhile, Captain America and Quicksilver return to the mansion and found encounter Whirlwind in the act of sabotage. They battle him to a standstill, but he escapes gloating that neither of them are aware of the explosive he planted in the lab
