However, the experiment resulted in Cobert growing ginormous in size while simultaneously stifling his intelligence. He escaped S.H.I.E.L.D. custody and went on a rampage, forcing them toc all in Ant-Man and the Wasp to bring him down. As Gargantua, Cobert is easily manipulated into going along with criminal activity.
