We return to the US where a young woman visits the police asking to be put in touch with Ant-Man. They don’t know what to tell her - Ant-Man just shows up when he is needed.

Ant-Man heads off to confront Comrade X, easily dispatching his goons with the help of thousands of ants before confronting Comrade X, who turns out to be the young woman. It turns out she was Comrade X all along, disguised as a man.
