Antboy 3 Page #4

---

Humans secrete certain

pheromones when they lie.

Other humans can't

smell, but you can.

If I were lying, your sense

of smell would tell you.

All I can smell in this

moment, is garlic and your

dirty, stinky socks.

That doesn't mean

you're being honest.

But what if I am?

Are you willing to

take that chance?

You want to use the

Hercules for warfare?

Dr. Gilmakra.

Every product developed

at Exofarm can be

used for warfare, including

your Hercules serum.

It's not your serum.

You'll never get

my serum.

It's my serum.

It belongs to Exofarm.

William?

Are you there? Over.

Hello?

William?

Answer me.

I really need your help, over.

William.

I know, man.

I smell bad.

I've got to show

you something.

Hand it over now, or

I'll make sure you rot

your life away in a padded

cell in Dragonsborg.

Never.

As you wish.

Tobison.

It's a recording from

the other guy's camera.

He dropped it outside Exofarm.

The other guy?

You're still unable

to say his name.

What if the

recording is genuine?

Team up with the other guy.

Two superheroes against

one super villain.

What super villain is that?

Duforte or the Flea?

Clearly it isn't Gilmakra.

People can change, you know.

I don't trust him.

I don't trust that blood sucker.

The Unnamed Hero

exposed Exofarm and

served the evidence on

a platter, what more

do you want?

What if it's a

trick to trap me?

Why don't you just

leave the criminals to him

from now on?

You don't want to

be Antboy, anyway.

William, I never said that.

I just, I just need

to do something else.

So what?

Now you're just gonna take off?

You're going away

to school, too.

No, I'm not.

What about...

Xavier's Academy

for Gifted Youngsters?

You're saying

you made it all up?

Actually, Marvel comics did.

In X-Men number one.

See you, Pelle.

And good luck with

the glass blowing.

I know he's here.

Come on, move it.

We have searched the

house and scoured

the entire town.

Dr. Gilmakra has

simply disappeared...

I had the serum, I had it.

Right here.

And I want it back, understood?

You idiots.

Antboy said he'd find it.

If you want

something done right,

you have to do it yourself.

Prepare the exosuit.

Now.

But it isn't fully

functional yet, miss.

Do it now.

It's time to lure the

heroes out of hiding.

Duforte.

I don't believe it.

Admit it, antsy pants.

You're happy to see me.

You better leave this to me.

It's too dangerous for amateurs.

OK.

Suit yourself.

Antboy, are you in

cahoots with that crook?

I'm not in

cahoots with anyone.

Especially not you.

Always the smart ass.

Who's the smart ass here?

You're the smart ass.

You're the smart ass.

Very mature.

Very mature of you?

Seriously?

Seriously.

You're a copycat.

That's all you know how to do.

Sorry, Stan Lee, I didn't

know you invented superheroes.

Hey.

Hand over Gilmakra, and the

Hercules serum right now.

Or I'll take this town apart.

Where is it?

You won't take anything apart.

It's my town.

Get it?

Hello?

Are you OK?

Pelle?

No, don't do it.

Give me Gilmakra, or else

I'll wipe out all of Middleland.

It's up to you.

William?

Shattered knee cap.

Hey.

Hey.

Did you tell my mom

that I fell off my bike?

Yeah.

Good, she fusses

enough over me as it is.

She can't handle the

thought of her son fighting

criminals in his spare time.

Here.

I told him you

changed your mind.

I did change it.

I should have recognized you.

My suit has scent

capsules that excrete

a mixture of ammonia and citrus.

Sweat and lemons.

They masked my scent so

you couldn't smell it was me.

But why would you want

to keep it a secret?

That's the idea of

a secret identity.

William.

I was fed up with

being your assistant.

I wanted to try myself.

Try what?

Being a real superhero.

It all began long ago, on

my way home from school.

Some of the big boys were

bullying a little kid.

Just like when the

terror twins bullied me.

I had to do something.

Stop, leave him alone.

But I wasn't Antboy.

So I did the only thing I could.

I ran.

Don't let fear get the

better of you, William.

Commander Combat?

Don't let injustice prevail.

I'm nothing like you.

I can't even see properly.

To be a hero doesn't

mean not having

weaknesses.

But overcoming them

to help others.

Pelle's the one

with the superpowers.

Not me.

Not all heroes were gifted

with their superpowers,

some of us, a few of us,

became who we are through

dedication and willpower.

You, too, can become

a real superhero,

if you really want to.

You have the courage

and the heart.

All you need is the rest.

From that day on, I was

through running and hiding.

That day, I decided

to become the hero I'd

always wanted to be.

And I dedicated all my

time to becoming him.

I thought I could be

like you, but I couldn't.

No, you couldn't.

You were better.

I was?

Listen, if anyone asks

me, I'll deny everything.

OK?

But that skeeter geek was

pretty cool, even if he did

have a lame name.

I know.

All the good names were taken.

I couldn't think of one.

How about,

how about Sidekick?

Sidekick as in assistant?

No, Sidekick as

in kicking sideways,

you know, like,

karate or something.

Sidekick.

It doesn't matter now.

I'll make Elisia Duforte pay.

She's too strong, Pelle.

Even for Antboy.

If you try to stop her,

you'll end up like me.

Go to boarding school with Ida.

Go as far away from

Exofarm as you can.

Time is running out, Elisha.

We have to act

before it's too late.

Where is Dr. Gilmakra?

I'll find him, Dad.

We're watching his house,

I'll have him soon.

And if you don't find him?

How will you get

hold of the serum?

I said I will find him, Dad.

I hope so, my darling.

Otherwise I will have

to take over Exofarm.

You won't take over

anything, old man.

Exofarm is mine now.

Understand?

I am Exofarm.

What are you saying?

You know how I'm

going to find the serum?

I'll tell you, Dad.

I'm going hunting.

I've hunted lions

on the Savannah.

And killer whales in

the icy Disco Bay.

I can track down

and kill any prey.

Gilmakra is no exception.

If the cripple refuses

to give me the serum,

like the Flea, I'll suck

it out of his blood.

Hercules will give me

unimaginable strength.

That, combined with

a powerful exosuit,

will make me invincible.

After I've wiped out the

Antboy, and Middleland,

no one, no one can stop me.

Nothing, nothing can

prevent Exofarm from

conquering the world

and everyone will

kneel before me.

Have you gone

completely insane, child?

Goodbye, Father.

Elisha, Elisha

don't, please, Elisha.

Boarding school.

I can't believe

we're starting on Monday.

Aren't you excited?

You're my best

friend, William.

I couldn't have done

this without you.

Team up

with the other guy.

Two superheros against

one super villain.

I didn't take the

serum to get my powers back.

I took it to ensure it didn't

fall into the wrong hands.

Hey.

You aren't coming.

I have to stay and stop Duforte,
