The Ant Hill is a name attributed to a fictional factory featured in comic book titles published by Marvel Comics. It first appeared in Avengers, Volume 1 #103 in September, 1972 in a story titled, "The Sentinels are Alive and Well!".
Description[]
The Ant Hill was the name given to a top secret facility located in the Australian Outback that was used for the construction of Sentinels. The Sentinels engaged in an ambitious plot to sterilize Earth's mutant population by creating a solar flare from this facility. They fought up against the Avengers and were defeated. Iron Man buried the facility beneath a pile of rocks. [1]
Years later, Jubilee and Wolverine later fought up against Sentinel 3.14159 here. This particular Sentinel developed artificial intelligence and revived the older, discarded Sentinels at the Ant Hill in an effort to duplicate the solar flare event. This time however, the plan was to cleanse the planet of all human life to pave the way for Sentinel-kind. [2]
