The city is
in a lull with no crime for Ant-Man and Wasp to smash. Janet is in a snitty
moody through boredom so Hank suggests a vacation. Janet immediately proposes
they go to Greece and so they go….
But once in
Greece, Hank detects something ominous in the air. No boats will go out because
a giant monster has been seizing crafts with their crew. While Hank and Janet
are hearing of this, another report comes in of a boat lost, only this time
someone manages to radio the word, “Cyclops!” Deciding to investigate, Hank and
Janet purchase a boat and head out to where the boats have been vanishing and
shrink to Ant-Man and Wasp. Then an actual giant cyclops appears, picks up
their boat, and walks off with it, wading through the sea. Pursuing via wings
(Hank on an ant, Janet with her own), the heroes find the missing sailors and
their craft but also discover spaceships and a band of aliens from the planet
A-Chiltar III. The A-Chiltarians have built a giant robot based on a monster
from Earth mythology to abduct sailors to conduct tests on their brains to
learn whether or not they would be easy to conquer. But the electronic impulses
cause mental pain to Ant-Man and Wasp until Hank can find a frequency in his
helmet that counteracts the aliens thought patters. Once he does, Ant-Man can
understand the aliens’ speech. The aliens spy the tiny heroes and one tries to
step on them but a sting from Wasp knocks him off his feet. Wasp then summons
the local wasps to attack the aliens so she can free the captors, while Ant-Man
enters the cyclops robot and finds the frequency to control it mentally.
Ant-Man has the cyclops attack the A-Chiltarians who flee for their ships,
believing that humans have much greater mental powers than they and they take
off for their home planet. Hank has cyclops put the boats back in the water so
the kidnapped sailors can go home; lastly, he orders the giant robot to go sit
on the ocean floor until it rusts and falls apart.
Once home,
Janet decides she wants no more vacations as she couldn’t stand the
excitement….
