Darren Cross manages to easily defeat Ant-Man and imprisons him.
As soon as he comes to his senses, Cross tells him about his origins.
The industrialist suffered a heart attack and could not operate, so he decided to try with an experimental radioactive peacemaker.
The peacemaker saved him, but also turned him into the strong monster he is now and his heart is no longer able to hold him.
Ant-Man manages to escape with the help of the ants, but it is the doctor who stops Cross, not transplanting the healthy heart he gave her, but leaving the old one.

The doctor operates Cassie Lang with the help of Yellowjacket.
Henry Pym admits he caught Scott Lang stealing the suit and followed him.
Recognizing his heroism, he decides to leave him the suit.
