message: Thanks for omitting that sickening portion where she had the affair with Hawkeye. This was as odious and idiotic a piece of garbage passing itself as writing as ever seen in the pages of the Avengers. Not only was it utterly out of place, it made NO SENSE. In over 30 years of ESTABLISHED history, these two never had even a glimmer of that kind of relationship, and bottom line, it was a betrayl of their teammate. NEITHER would ever have done such a thing.
:Well, she did do such a thing, like it or not. I don't think it should be emphasized, as it is just more of Austen's terrible writing, but it can't be forgotten, either. A passing mention seems fair enough.--Erikacornia 23:12, 30 August 2006 (UTC)

message: I seem to remember the Wasp having some powers of her own before Hank got ahold of her. Didn't Hank use her cells in his experiments to create the Pym Particles? 12.106.111.10 13:49, 1 June 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: Wasp's powers

message: Where is it said that Giant-Girl is Janet Van Dyne? I haven't seen her named in the book and I've read rumours that she may be Cassie Lang, or a completely new superheroine.
:I can only give one reference, but it's to Janet as Giant <B>Woman</b>, not Giant Girl. Avengers #77/492 (March 2004) the issue with the special 50 cent cover price, part one of the "Lionheard of Avalon" arc, has her using her powers to grow giant (which I'd never seen her do before) and later in the issue she's called Giant Woman twice by Thunderball of the Wrecking Crew. Later she shrinks down to Wasp size. Whether any of this is explained in another issue I never read or forgot about or just occured sometime off panel, I have no idea.--RandomNobody1234 06:54, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: Giant-Girl

message: At the risk of getting yelled at... I just got a series of comics called "Avengers Unplugged", where it's mentioned that Wasp had some sort of accident, went into a coma, turned into a cocoon, and then came out looking like a butterfly of sorts. Why isn't this mentioned? Yes, it sucks, but it's part of her storyline. It's only mentioned in the series but I don't own anything else, so I don't know what the heck was up with that. (In that same series there's a beardless, modern-clothing wearing Hercules. Lord help us.) 201.143.220.108 08:44, 13 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: It happened around the time of "The Crossing" and Tony Stark going evil and various other horrors in and around Avengers v. 1 #400. Best forgotten, I'd say, very unpopular time. The article would have to grow a lot to merit including it.--Erikacornia 23:38, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Insect Wasp? 

message: This article originally stated that she formerly possessed insect control. I've been doing some digging and as of the Avengers Handbook 2004, she still had this power. Can anyone provide me with a source for when (or if) she lost it? As far as I can tell, she still has it but rarely uses it. Rajah1 11:07, 25 December 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Insect control

message: I've (hopefully temporarily) removed the following recent addition to the "Marvel Zombies" section:
: any years later Wasp is shown controlling a new body, with her mouth exposed, and more similar to a headless version of Jocasta's robotic form (the older one, still active, is given to Hawkeye). As Black Panther surmised years later, the hunger is more psychological than physical, and years of abstinence had restored her peace of mind. Wasp still talks of giving the gift of immortality at the now much older Black Panther, who always refuses until he's fatally wounded by a rebellious Acolyte, opposing his peaceful ways. The Wasp then bites Black Panther, restoring her addiction to human flesh in the process, but with the last spark of sanity reasons that this time some weeks of abstinence could purge again her mind.
The section is marked with spoiler tags, so presumably this is very recent material.  Could we have a reference for this development? --Tony Sidaway 14:42, 19 October 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Fair use rationale for Image:Ultimates06.jpg

message: Heya.  :) I don't disagree with the B-class rating anymore; it is pretty good, although I'd strengthen up the sourcing in places, particularly the "Civil War" and on, the Powers section, and the Other versions section if you want it to move past a B. She's a significant enough character that I think she could go higher with some work. 204.153.84.10 (talk) 15:22, 15 September 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I disagree. The entire character biography reads as too in-universe, which is odd, and makes the character seem like a real person. It would be better to find citations about how the different writers interpreted her character. Why did they make her out to be an abused wife? These are good questions, and treating a fictional character like a real one fails to address them in a way an encyclopedia should. - Arcayne (cast a spell) 02:46, 13 November 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  Marvel strike force 

message: Since it's considered "vandelism" when I separated Janet van Dyne to her own page, how about I suggest it here due to both her and Nadia van Dyne are the Wasp so it's undermining that one is on the Wasp's page and other isn't.
