* Ant-Man appears in ''[[Ultimate Spider-Man (TV series)|Ultimate Spider-Man: Web-Warriors]]'', voiced again by Grant George. He is a guest teacher at the [[Triskelion (comics)|Triskelion]]'s S.H.I.E.L.D. Academy where he demonstrates his powers by knocking down Spider-Man during a demonstration. When Nick Fury is taken over by Doctor Octopus' Octobot-themed nanobots in order to get free from the Triskelion's brig, he, Spider-Man, and Power Man shrink down to remove the machines from Nick's body while the others pursue Doctor Octopus. While fighting their way though nanobots modeled after Beetle, Green Goblin, Lizard, and Scorpion, Ant-Man, Spider-Man, and Power Man make their way to the heart to get to Nick Fury's brain. As Ant-Man and Power Man are left busy fighting the nanobots (where some of them combined into one robot), Spider-Man learns from Nick Fury's conscious that Doctor Octopus has set the Triskelion's reactor to meltdown. Once the nanobots are destroyed, the reactor overload is averted, and Doctor Octopus is defeated, Spider-Man and Ant-Man visit Nick Fury in the Triskelion's infirmary where Ant-Man admitted that Spider-Man's recklessness stopped Doctor octopus' plot.{{sfn|"Ultimate Spider-Man: Web Warriors"|n.d.}}
