Background

Janet Van Dyne is The Wasp. A long-time member of the Avengers, she was married to Henry Pym, a.k.a. Yellowjacket. The Wasp can change by mental command from her normal size to that of a wasp. Her weight is that of a wasp, while her mass is that of her original body. She can fly, and is equipped with a pair of stingers on each wrist which produce a bio-electric blast, with associated kinetic impact.

”The End of Spider-Man”

After Spider-Man seemed to flee from the Green Goblin at the meeting of the Spider-Man Fan Club, the Bugle printed a story about his “cowardice.” It was read by many heroes and criminals alike. Wasp commented that “wasps and spiders are natural enemies…so I can’t honestly say I’m sorry for him.” (Amazing Spider-Man (vol. 1) #18)

”The Mighty Avengers Meet Spider-Man”

In the thirtieth century, Kang the Conqueror sent a Spider-Man robot to the twentieth century to infiltrate the Avengers. After the robot “saved” Captain America from some muggers, he brought the robot to the team to consider him for membership. Wasp and Giant Man disliked him but the machine pretended to know where Tony Stark had disappeared. It led them to a jungle in Mexico and an Aztec temple. Wasp and Ant Man arrived first and were quickly overwhelmed by the deceitful robot. Cap arrived later and was defeated by the machine but was rescued at the last moment by the real Spider-Man. By the time the robot was defeated and Captain America cleared Spider-Man, Wasp and Ant Man had escaped the temple. (Avengers (vol. 1) #11)

”…To Become an Avenger!”

The Avengers were debating if they should make Spider-Man a member of the team and Wasp said “I hate anything to do with spiders!” Hawkeye suggested contacting Daredevil for insight into Spider-Man, as he’d fought with him and against him. Wasp liked the idea, saying DD was “dreamy looking.” When DD gave approval to the suggestion, Wasp agreed that Spider-Man could be tested for membership.

After Thor found Spider-Man and gave him the order to come to Avengers tower, Peter reluctantly agreed. Once he arrived, the group admitted that they hadn’t decided what his test would be. Spidey got indignant and the group started to bicker, causing Wasp to say he couldn’t be trusted. Spidey decided that the situation must be the test, so he jumped across a table at Hawkeye. Captain America and Thor decided that he was too excitable to be trusted and Wasp managed to sting him.

The fight got broken up and Iron Man decided to send him after the Hulk, who has been in the city but they’ve been too busy to deal with. Cap said to bring him back to them and Spidey accepted, thinking that Hulk was dumb enough to fall for a trap. Before he left, Wasp said he was going to fail. As Spidey dealt with the Hulk, the Avengers wondered what was taking him so long. Wasp asked if maybe he had been beaten. After Spider-Man returned to them without Hulk (he had sympathized with Dr. Banner after learning his dual identity) he said he didn’t want to join after all and left. Wasp was oddly disappointed. (Amazing Spider-Man Annual (vol.1) #3)

…Til Death Do Us Part!”

When Janet married Goliath, the wedding was attacked by the Circus of Crime (Ringmaster, Clown, Princess Python, the Great Gambonnos, Cannonball.) Jan knocked out PP and it was all over quickly. (Avengers #60)

”A Gathering of Evil”

The Masters of Evil was formed by Egghead, with the intention of stealing chemicals to create an eternal youth formula. Egghead could control the world by creating such a formula. He gathered Whirlwind, Moonstone, Tiger Shark and Scorpion to various locations to pilfer the needed ingredients. He warned them to stay away from superheroes but Whirlwind went after Wasp anyway. The Masters were soon beaten by the Avengers. (Avengers (vol. 1) #222)

”Deceptions!”

Janet took a vacation to an island resort named Utopia Cay, owned by her friend Tinky Weissman. She met another vacationer who called himself Paul Denning and when he blew her off for a party they were supposed to attend, she changed to the Wasp and snuck into his room. She found a gun case and a photo of Baron Walther Theodoric. Assuming that Paul is going to assassinate the Baron, she flies to his room just as he and some men teleport to the cashier’s office in the casino. It turns out that Baron Theodoric is also Baron Brimstone and “Paul Denning” is the mercenary called Paladin. Paladin had been waiting for the Baron in the casino’s office and they put the crooks out of commission. (Avengers (vol. 1) #251)

”United We Fall”

After Spidey took pictures of a burning corpse in a building fire, he learned the individual was Robert Sanchez, Sr. Sanchez was a longshoreman union leader. Robbie Robertson said he’d probably made enemies with Nevell Industries, who owned the unionized shipping company NESC. Robbie mentioned that Wasp was one of Nevell’s prime shareholders.

At the Nevell building, Janet van Dyne was the only female shareholder in a room full of men. They tell her to go make some coffee and in the kitchen she ran into Spider-Man. She said they’d regret the comment, since she makes lousy coffee. Also, she left her purse behind, which had a recording device. She had heard that the Consolidated company was interested in taking NECS off their hands. She knew that Consolidated was owned by a gangster named Granetti that wanted the unionized company. Robert Sanchez, Jr arrived and accused the shareholders of killing his father before saying the union would no longer work at Nevell. He left and the shareholders voted to sell the company to Consolidated, Janet being the lone nay vote. Janet said she’d buy all the shares herself.

Spider-Man went to confront Granetti, who had Paladin working for him. Granetti flatly told Spidey that he’d had Sanchez killed and he couldn’t do anything about it. In fact, he told the webhead he’d see him in court for trespassing. While walking through a park, Janet was attacked by Paladin. They fought briefly until they decided to talk. After a few drinks, Paladin said he’d been sent to scare her and if she didn’t ease up on Granetti, Paladin would kill each board member one by one. Spider-Man arrived, revealing he’d put a tracer on the hitman. Paladin left and Spidey offered Janet to help protect the board members. She told him to do what he wanted and left. (Spectacular Spider-Man #105)

”No Fury”

As Spider-Man paced around Avengers Mansion, Janet finally arrived after doing some shopping and getting her hair done. He was annoyed that he was taking the situation more seriously than she was and she said that they couldn’t guard the board members constantly. Maybe Spider-Man could but she had better things to do. They needed to get evidence on Granetti anyway.

Spider-Man staked out the water front but the ship he expected to be carrying drugs turned out to be a decoy. At JFK airport, Wasp watched as a shipment of drugs was unloaded from a plane. After fighting the men unloading the plane, she opened one of the teddy bears in a crate, expecting to find drugs. Instead, they’d been packed with sugar. The other drug shipment was arriving by train, which Wasp stopped with the Quinjet. She separated the train from the track while Spidey webbed up the goons with the machine guns. Granetti threatened them with a gun but was knocked out by Paladin.

The next day in the Nevell boardroom, Janet was the one being served coffee by the board men. She explained that Granetti had made a plea bargain by admitting to Sanchez’s murder. Spider-Man listened outside the window, thinking that while Janet came across like a ditz, she certainly handled the situation. (Spectacular Spider-Man #106)

”Web of Carnage”

A skeleton dressed in a Spider-Man costume had been found in a demolished smoke stack, drawing the attention of Peter and Ben Reilly. Ben stole the skeleton from the morgue and took it to Janet’s home. (Avengers mansion had been destroyed.) Giant Man ran tests on the skeleton, finding it to be a clone of Spider-Man. Peter had also tested a photograph from Jessica Carradine, and it revealed that a blurry figure was the burglar that killed Ben Parker. (Sensational Spider-Man #3)

”Marvel Knights”

Spider-Man came to the Avengers mansion in desperation after May Parker had been taken. He needed them to contact Nick Fury but he was going to be in another dimension for a week. Security tried to take Spidey away when Edwin Jarvis didn’t believe he was really Spider-Man. He broke into the mansion, getting shot in the arm in the process. Spidey was stopped by Quicksilver and he explained his situation to the Avengers. Wasp was shocked that he’d been shot and he said it was a flesh wound. Spidey’s attitude didn’t go over very well with the group and he left. Janet felt bad but didn’t know how they were supposed to help if he wouldn’t tell them who he was. (Marvel Knights Spider-Man (vol. 1) #2)

”Beyond”

Janet found herself onboard a familiar alien ship along with The Hood, Alyosha Kravinoff, Firebird, Medusa, Hank Pym, Mac (Venom) Gargan, Gravity and Spider-Man. The assembled superhumans began bickering in confusion and Medusa calmed everyone down enough for Wasp to tell them that she’d been in a similar ship years ago. A voice claiming to be the Beyonder booms out to them, telling them to kill their enemies and he’d give them whatever they wanted. The Hood turned invisible to do just that but was quickly beaten by Kraven. Venom also took the offer and went after Spider-Man . The webhead was impaled on his tail and Gargan gleefully told Beyonder to give him what he deserved and he was denied. The others were glad to give him what he deserved. (Beyond #1)
