Episode:Enter the Whirlwind

Episode Description:

The Wasp and Ant-Man are forced to contend with the supervillain-for-hire, Whirlwind, as he rampages through the streets of New York.

Story
Janet Van Dyne roams around the study of her boyfriend, Hank Pym, expressing her boredom. All of a sudden, she hears a crash and turns to the window, only to see a whirling, green form smashing through the entire city and destroying everything in its path. Donning her costume, the Wasp confronts the "Whirlwind" head-on and manuevers through the entire city of New York in her efforts to stop him. Ant-Man soon arrives onto the scene and pleads with the Wasp, trying to convince her that the best approach to dealing with the Whirlwind is rehabilitation. Eventually, the Wasp puts the Whirlwind out of commission and explains to her husband that she is capable of much more than making money and attending meetings, referring to the possible contributions she can make as a superheroine.
