## Physical and Personality Description

Montana Ash, is a woman in her mid-30s with a striking and athletic build. She has piercing blue eyes that seem to hold a calculating glint, and her short, sleek black hair frames her face with an air of intensity. Montana's complexion is fair, and she bears a subtle scar on her left cheek as a testament to her dangerous line of work.

Wicked Wasp possesses a cunning and manipulative personality, honed by her family's criminal background and training. She is resourceful and opportunistic, always seeking to capitalize on the weaknesses of others. Montana is known for her icy demeanour, often maintaining a calm and collected façade even in the face of danger or adversity. She possesses a ruthless determination to achieve her goals, willing to go to any lengths to prove herself as a formidable villain and earn respect within the criminal underworld. Underneath her tough exterior, Montana harbours a deep desire to break free from the legacy of her villainous family and establish her own reputation. She is driven by the need to prove herself as more than just the granddaughter of Yellow Wasp and the daughter of Killer Wasp, striving to carve out her own path and surpass the accomplishments of her predecessors.

## History

Montana was raised in the family business of performing robberies and other sorts of heists. Montana has earned herself the armour of fellow insect-themed villain, Killer Moth, by eliminating him. By taking the equipment of another supervillain, her family declares her ready to take on bigger jobs like working for the Gang of the Ultra-Humanite.

Wicked Wasp has a slight obsession with Wasps, apparently working in a zoo and mainly does crimes to support her hobby but also because she doesn't know any better because of her upbringing.

### Wave 1

Wicked Wasp has a slight obsession with Wasps, apparently working in a zoo and mainly does crimes to support her hobby but also because she doesn't know any better because of her upbringing. She does not get along with teammate Weaver, sensing that something about him is off, not knowing that she killed Weaver's father.

### Wave 2

Wasp is later seen carrying out a job with fellow villain Fire-Ant. The two insect-themed villains are seen in the lab of Doctor Lester Faulkner and their contrasting nature, as well as their combined incompetence, leads to Faulkner becoming the new Red Bee.

## Powers

Montana has no superhuman abilities; instead relying on the vast array of equipment her predecessors have developed or taken from other criminals. Wicked Wasp’s range of gimmicks includes a steel line, which allows her to swing through the skies as if they were flying.

Her steel line is attached to her utility belt, allowing her to swing through the skies with precision and agility. The Waspcopter is a small, remote-controlled drone with wasp-like wings, giving her aerial surveillance and reconnaissance capabilities during her heists.

Her signature nail gun serves as both a paralysing weapon and an electroshock device. It can fire a stream of paralysing threads, rendering her foes immobile, while also unleashing electrifying grenades that deliver incapacitating shocks.

## **Costume Description**

Wicked Wasp's costume reflects her insect-themed identity and her affiliation with the legacy of her family's villainy. The design is sleek, dark, and intimidating, emphasizing her deadly and relentless nature.

## Trivia

I really like Golden Age stuff and Killer Wasp was one of the characters, I immediately wanted to modernize the character.
