Ant-Man (film)
In 1989, during the construction of the Triskelion, Carson with Howard Stark and Peggy Carter attempted to replicate Hank Pym's Pym Particles, whom Carson has a disliking for. Pym takes advantage of the particles and hides it from the world.

In 2015, Carson made a business deal with Pym Technologies CEO Darren Cross regarding the marketing of the Yellowjacket Suit and Pym's death, which they both agree to. Some time later, Cross perfects the Pym Particles, something Carson was desperate to do in 1989. When Cross showcases the Yellowjacket Suit to Carson and Pym, the presentation becomes sabotaged by prisoner Scott Lang and Hope van Dyne, who was present at the launch of the suit. Carson manages to escape with Cross' replicated Particles while being besieged by ants.
