* EasilyForgiven: Hank is rightfully furious about Scott stealing his Ant-Man gear and endangering lives with it just to rob banks.

->Written by Brandon Auman
A security camera at a bank in New York captures footage of piles of money, being shrunken down in a suspiciously familiar manner. The camera then zooms in to reveal the culprit: Ant-Man.
Uh oh.
Amidst Wasp's protests, Hank returns to clean out his lab and leave the Avengers behind for good when he overhears a news broadcast reporting the theft. He rushes back to Grayburn, leaving Jan incredibly upset in the process, only to find that all his Ant Man gear has been stolen. Since he doesn't feel like he can go to the Avengers for help, he enlists the aid of [[ComicBook/HeroesForHire Luke Cage and Iron Fist]] to find the culprit before he causes all sorts of damage with the equipment, damage that Hank explains in great detail.
The Heroes for Hire get on the case and start shaking down the usual suspects. They figure out that since "Ant-Man" failed to get the money the first two times and has tried to rob the same bank repeatedly, he will likely be back for a third go. Sure enough, he shows up and makes short work of both Cage and Iron Fist before running off with the money. He doesn't get very far, though, as Hank builds a Pym Particle detector and uses it to track him down. "Ant-Man" is revealed to be Scott Lang, a maintenance tech at Grayburn, and a former electrical engineer who used to crack safes to get money for his daughter's treatments. Now that he is out of prison, his former associates are demanding their share of the cash and holding his daughter hostage to get it.
Now, as has already been established, Scott is not particularly bright and when he shows up in the Ant-Man costume, his old partner Cross gets the idea to use the Pym Particles to pull off bigger and better jobs. Fortunately, Scott also lead Hank, Luke Cage, and Iron Fist directly to them and they immediately go to work. It turns out Hank was also able to perfect the Pym Discs so that they ''don't'' shrink things out of existence and is thus able to save Scott's daughter. With the situation wrapped up cleanly, Scott agrees to return all the equipment and turn himself in, but Hank has other ideas.
