History:
(Avengers
I#93) – When Iron Man called together a meeting
of the Avengers founders, Vision arrived and promptly fell inert.
Unbeknownst
to the other Avengers, Hank Pym had also arrived to the meeting in his
identity
of Ant-Man, carried by the three ants: Crosby, Stills and Nash.
Revealing that
he had the best chance of reviving the Vision, Ant-Man and the three
ants ventured
inside the Vision himself to learn what caused Vision’s predicament.
Inside,
Ant-Man and the ants were met with Vision’s defense systems which
killed Crosby.
Determined to save Stills and Nash, Ant-Man ordered them to vacate the
Vision
immediately, hurling one of them out through the Vision’s mouth
himself. When
Stills and Nash returned without Ant-Man, the other Avengers began to
grow
concerned for the safety of Ant-Man.
Comments: Created by Roy
Thomas, Neal Adams and
Tom Palmer.
The
ants’ names were obvious
references to the musicians David Crosby, Stephen Stills and Graham
Nash.
