Synopsis for "Among Us Walks a Goliath!"

Henry Pym calls the Avengers, saying the Wasp is missing, and that he is Giant-Man. The Wasp has been captured by the Collector and the Beetle. Giant-Man renames himself Goliath. They enter the Collector's lair and get seperated and captured. Goliath escapes and frees the other Avengers. They rescue the Wasp and force the Collector to escape with the Beetle using a time machine. However, when Goliath tries to shrink down to his normal size he collapses and faints at 10 feet tall.
