History:  (Avengers I#227) - When Hank Pym was serving time on Ryker's Island, he was visited by Dr. Paul Edmonds, who asked him to recount his history in an effort to determine whether Hank was mentally fit to stand trial for his recent accusations of treason. Following Pym's recount, Dr. Edmonds phoned Iron Man and explained that Pym was indeed fit to stand trial, despite the fact that he had suffered at least four nervous breakdowns. He also explained to Iron Man that Pym insisted that he was set up by his old enemy Egghead, whom Iron Man believed to be dead. What Dr. Edmonds did not realize was that the pencil he was using to write down a diagnosis had been bugged by Egghead himself.
