Ant-Man
One might assumeAnt - Manis used to strange allies by this point since he overtop an army of ants . However , inAnt - Man#2 by Zeb Wells and Dylan Burnett , Scott Lang finds himself reluctantly team up up with the bee - power Nazi supervillain Swarm . As it turns out , the bee - power Nazi supervillain prove to be theverylesser of two evils .
Swarm first appeared inChampions#14 right smart back in 1977 . A Nazi fugitive , Fritz von Meyer became a apiarist in South America while on the run . There , he experimented on mutate bees , only to be completely guttle by the insect in the process . However , his cognisance was uploaded into the bees in the process , create the supervillain Swarm . Since then , he’sdone fight from everyone from Spider - Manto Squirrel - Girl , but in spite of the obvious law of similarity between them , he has n’t crossed track with Ant - Man much . However , inAnt - Man#1 , Scott finally combat Swarm , only to detect there are more beings like Swarm .
bear on : Why Ant - Man Needs a Third Film
In the opening ofAnt - Man#2 , Ant - Man and Swarm must team up to survive several other drove - like organism , include the hornet swarm Vespa , the silkworm Thread and Tusk , who is made out of beetles . Ant - Man must team up up with Swarm to get away the attack , though he is clear he is not fighting for a " Nazi bee man " , which Swarm lukewarmly agrees is fair . After escaping , Swarm explain he was captured by these creatures by their master and coerce to do their bid . Apparently these creatures - unlike Swarm - lack any human news , and reckon Swarm as " impure " ( which is deliciously wry that Swarm , a Nazi scientist , has been enslave and degraded by a far more powerful foe who regardshimas impure ) .
Unfortunately , the bee Ant - Man has been riding on is also infected , and explodes to reveal Macrothax , the master of the swarms . Ant - Man concur tocommunicate with Macrothax using his helmet , which only leads to a post - apocalyptic vision of the dirt ball horror Macrothax hop to rule on mankind . Ant - Man resists Macrothax ’s psychic attacks by squinch , only to be rescued by Swarm , who loudly proclaims he is in Ant - Man ’s debt toScott ’s mazed unexampled employers . Just as Swarm leaves , however , Ant - Man realizes his ant protagonist is missing - and has been abduct by Macrothax .
The gain of the greater scourge possed by Macrothax greatly expands Swarm ’s backstory . In addition , Zeb Wells ' scripting does an excellent occupation depicting Scott Lang asa struggle hero out of his depth , even whenhe ’s in his insect constituent . Throughout the upshot , he seems more annoyed with have got to team up up with a Nazi beekeeper rather than Swarm ’s own heinous political orientation . The fact that Swarm is all too eager to accept Scott ’s help only add to the post ’s hilarity . Hopefully , this wo n’t be the last Scott see of his new " ally " , but with the next issue tease the likes of Spider - ManandBlack Cat , Ant - Man should be posed for an even funnier crossover next consequence .
Ant - Man#2 hit stores on February 25th .
