In a universe where the heroes of the Marvel Universe have largely been decimated by a concentrated villain attack, Ant-Man's helmet has been found by a young boy named Dwight. Dwight uses it to control an army of ants in order to enforce the toll payments to get across the bridge he guards. Those who refuse to pay are devoured by the ants.

  • The helmet appears in the live-action Ant-Man movie, where it was designed by Hank Pym and primarily used by Scott Lang. In a departure from the comics, the helmet's mouth is covered in this version. It was explained by the film's crew that this was done to prevent Ant-Man's lungs from bursting when he shrinks. In addition to allowing its wearer to communicate with ants, it also protects the user's sanity during the shrinking process.
  • A modified version of the helmet appears in Captain America: Civil War.
