Go To

The Avengers help Ant-Man clean up the supervillains he's armed over the years. Next up on his list is Doctor Spectrum of the Squadron Supreme. However, Ant-Man insists the doc isn't such a bad person.

Tropes:

  • Body Horror: The Power Prism seems to burrow its way into Bill's skin.
  • Do Not Call Me "Paul": Doc Spectrum hates being called Billy.
  • Enemy Without: The Power Prism is able to give people's worst fears physical form, doing so to Cap (Winter Soldier), Thor (a truly evil Loki) and Iron Man (Ultron).
  • Mythology Gag: Scott mentions one of the supervillains he's after is a "Madame X", one of Hank Pym's adversaries from the Tales to Astonish era.
  • Rogues' Gallery Transplant: In addition to Doctor Spectrum, who in the comics is usually one of Iron Man's foes when the Squadron (Sinister or Supreme) aren't fighting the Avengers, Scott mentions his enemies include The Hood, Purple Man (Daredevil), and the Unicorn (Iron Man).
  • Woobie, Destroyer of Worlds: Bill is a good man, enslaved by the Power Prism and Nighthawk, who forced him to destroy the Squadron Supreme's world. Fortunately, Ant-Man and the Avengers manage to free him, and he gets a job with SHIELD.
