## Story

A.I.M. Scientist used to be a henchman for A.I.M. Since they were defeated, he's been living in the shrubbery of Avengers Academy.

Iron Man asked A.I.M. Scientist to sneak into A.I.M. headquarters and steal the schematics to their new, planet-destroying weapon. He successfully infiltrated A.I.M., stole the schematics, and developed a computer virus to exploit a vulnerability in the weapon. Then he teamed up with Ms. Marvel, Miles Morales, and Wiccan, to infect the weapon with the virus, ultimately destroying it.

### Ant-Man and The Wasp Event

A.I.M. Scientist snuck into A.I.M. to figure out what they knew about Ghost's phasing problem. He discovered that she's stuck in a state of quantum superposition - both here and not here at the same time.

## Character Relationships

### Ghost

A.I.M. Scientist infiltrated A.I.M. to steal any data they had on Ghost's glitching condition.

### Iron Legion Robot

Iron Legion Robot mistakenly thought A.I.M. Scientist's real name was Larry, which infuriated him since they lived together for a long time. A.I.M. Scientist also made a henchmen "monument" featuring Iron Legion Robot.

### Loki

Loki was highly impressed by A.I.M. Scientist's dance moves.

### M.O.D.O.K.

A.I.M. Scientist apologized to M.O.D.O.K. for not helping him when he was a prisoner at A.I.M.. In exchange, M.O.D.O.K. apologized to him for psionically messing with his controller during gaming competitions.

### Pepper Potts

A.I.M. Scientist asked Pepper Potts if he could have a real name, instead of just being referred to as 'A.I.M. Scientist.' She denied his request.
