Atom Ant
Not too long ago, a mad man named Albert Von Gimmick was placed in the Green Haven Correctional Facility for being accused of illegal experimenting and animal cruelty. Albert believed he could make a genetic breakthrough, that he could change the genes of animals and turn them into invulnerable creatures of power. He always expected great praise for thinking beyond such comprehension. But he was wrong. Albert tried to make the people believe, but they only saw him as quack that didn't care about the pain he caused to his test subjects.
But on the morning of October 31, 1970, Von Gimmick's sentence was finally over, and he couldn't have been happier to be free and get back to his experiments once more. All he wanted to do was create super heroes to protect everyone, but his mind was twisted after all of the rejection and solitude.
Now, all Albert wanted was revenge. And, of course, he would use the one thing they had all doubted to get his revenge: His experiments. But when he returned to his old mansion, far from the hustle and bustle of New York City, Von Gimmick was devastated to find that all of his test subjects and hard work had been destroyed.
The lanky old man ran up the stairs, terrified that his prized project was also lost, as he lab coat snagged on a splintered stair. He tripped and grunted in pain when he fell and hit his knew on the stairs, and rolled back over to grab his knee in pain.
Von Gimmick reached up when the pain subsided, and grabbed the matted white hair on his thinning head in agony, "What have they done?"
But despite his age and physique, Albert quickly crawled up the stairs and ran into his office, and skidded to a halt when he looked inside. Unlike the rest of his home, his office remained untouched, with police tape blocking the doorway.
Albert effortlessly tore the tape down, and smiled in amazement that the remainder of his life's work was still intact.
"Only God knows why they didn't harm you." The scientist approached his desk and leaned down to get eye level with a small glass terrarium, but the dust and sand on the sides made it difficult to see the tiny object moving inside.
"But only God himself would keep something as precious as you alive—we have work to do, little one."
Pulling off the screen lid, Von Gimmick reached inside with a pair of tweezers and pulled an average little ant, and it helplessly struggled within his grasp as he lifted the ant to his face to have a better look.
The dark red insect was small-minded and oblivious to the situation, and what Von Gimmick had in store for it. "Such a perfect specimen, you are. Why, they would never see you coming, let alone expect an ant. I don't know what I would have done if those fools had gotten to you, too—but thank heavens they haven't."
Von Gimmick brought the ant over to an operating table, and carefully set it inside of another, much cleaner terrarium, "I know you can't understand me yet, but you will in time—now, all you need is the one thing that will change you and the whole world forever."
The scientist pulled key tied around his neck out from behind his vest, and kneeled down to push heavy books and equipment out of the way, and soon revealed a small safe with a large lock. Luckily, the key he had was a perfect fit, and he soon opened the door and pulled out a beaker with a bright blue glowing liquid inside.
Steam arose from within the safe and out of the top of the beaker when Von Gimmick slowly carried the beaker with a large pair of tongs and set it down on the operating table.
"They called me a quack…they called me cruel…they called me crazy…but now, they will pay for their ignorance."
Using a tear dropper, Von Gimmick siphoned the blue potion until the tear dropper was full, and then aimed it directly over the unsuspecting ant. Von Gimmick smiled wickedly, as he spilled the entire potion in the nozzle onto the incest, immediately burning through its little body like acid.
"By combining my serum with that of a healthy creature—I can create the perfect monster."
