John was surprised to see all this as he didn't expect his name to be famous instead of Dr. Helen Cho or Tony as they were the main person behind it.
"Propaganda really changes people's mindset."
In the last two months many people had gone to Mars and were amazed by the new scenery on an entirely new planet. Umbrella even did a lottery to send middle class people to Mars on a lower price as a sign of good will to the people and showing that only the rich weren't able to go to Mars. A normal person of the society could go too.
The people were happy for such a step of Umbrella. They have already rolled out new models of cars, planes and ships bringing down the cost of transportation and now Umbrella has come with med pods and even space travel. Umbrella had basically changed people's way of life now and the changes were very positive. Even though there would be initial problems, that was acceptable as they would have a brighter future ahead.
Umbrella even said that those who had been affected by the changes brought by the company would offer jobs to them and even take them away to Mars when the colonisation process would start in a few months. Even though Umbrella wouldn't be able to include everyone it was a good measure nonetheless.
As this went on, John received a call from Felicity saying that Pym Technology had sent him an invitation to attend the new suit that their company had built. Darren Cross wanted to show the new suit called yellow jacket. John understood that the arc of Ant-man had started.
This time John would directly stop the whole plot in the beginning itself and he needed to talk with Hank Pym, the founding member of Avengers in Earth - 616. He was an important part of Marvel stories and so he needed to talk face to face with him.
John directly accessed the memories of the members of the league who had infiltrated the company and understood Darren wanted to sell the jacket in the black market as the government actually didn't fund his research as the yellow jacket was highly unstable. The government had tested the product of yellow jacket before and they found it affects the minds of people when they use the suit and thus shut down the whole process.

Darren still insisted and since he didn't find investors of the suit he called for big companies who didn't hesitate to do anything to reach their goals. Since John represented Umbrella he was called too.
John was surprised by the invitation but accepted it. He called out ninjas who weren't affiliated to any village and tasked them to replace the members of the meeting by themselves. He saw the list of the members in the meeting and all of them had a bad history according to GAIA.
"He just walked right into the trap." John said as he summoned the ninjas and sent them to work. The convention was in a week so the ninjas had enough time to get to know their target and replace them.
On the day, John took Bumblebee to the company's headquarters, the place where the meeting would start. While entering the company he saw the person for whom he really came.
Hank Pym.
He approached him and said "Dr. Pym, it's nice to see you in person."
"Hello Mr. Jameson. It's surprising that you know of me." Pym replied. He was still being fidgety as he looked around. It was because he had sent Scott on a mission to retrieve the suit and sabotage the whole meeting of acquiring new investors.
"Of course I know of you. Let's go inside shall we." John said.
John went inside and saw all the other members and they were all his summons. John smirked at it. The story progressed like it should have in the original version as Darren was showcasing the yellow jacket, and Scott appeared with the Ant-Man suit.
John nodded at the members of the surrounding and before anybody could realise what was going on Darren was hit right on the face by a member. Another member directly appeared behind him and cuffed his hands.
"Now we can talk freely. Scott you can destroy the suit or do whatever you want and come out." John said.
"What is happening? You want to take away the technology?" Hank asked defensively as he still didn't understand what was going on but it was clear that the members who came to the meeting were under John.
"Pym particles are amazing and I might have a use for them in future. But for now I will settle with you Dr. Pym." John said as the ninjas took away Darren who was unconscious by now. He would be sent to Naruto's world and imprison him there forever without seeing the actual world ever again. John didn't want another person in the quantum realm.
