Janet van Dyne (Earth-199999)

**Wasp** (*Janet van Dyne*) is a human mutate and the wife of Hank Pym and mother of Hope van Dyne. She worked for S.H.I.E.L.D. until she sacrificed herself to disarm a Soviet ICBM bound for the United States in 1987, saving millions of lives but also becoming lost to the Quantum Realm. After being freed from the Quantum Realm, she had evolved and developed superhuman powers.

## Powers and Abilities

### Powers

After spending three decades in the Quantum Realm, van Dyne could use the particles around her to shape herself and remain stable. This allowed her to survive in the realm for decades seemingly without sustenance.

**Healing:** After absorbing quantum energies at an unprecedented rate, van Dyne was able to manipulate the structure of living organisms on the sub-atomic level and prevent them from experiencing quantum displacement; she could also reverse existing quantum displacement, as she did for Ghost. Additionally, she was able to remove the hallucinogenic effects of the Quantum Realm, as she did for Hank Pym.

**Possession:** After coming in contact with Scott Lang, van Dyne was tied to him, making her able to psionically communicate with him via perception-altering dreams that revealed her location, otherwise known as Quantum Entanglement. She was also able to possess Lang's body and use him to reveal her precise location.

## Equipment

### Former Equipment

**Wasp Suit:** Hank Pym invented the Pym Particles which allowed him to shrink and enlarge in size. He later made a suit to give his wife with similar abilities.

* **Size Reduction:** Similar to her husband, van Dyne was able to reduce herself to the size of an insect by using Pym Particles. She still maintained her regular-sized strength and durability while on a reduced scale as the process amplifies the amount of force she can generate and increases her density. Additionally, the process of altering size compressed force and energy, manifesting as brief shockwaves of vibration around the target, which briefly augmented her force and momentum as she returned to normal size.
	+ **Superhuman Strength:** When decreased in size, van Dyne possessed superhuman strength. She could exert force in her shrunken state that allowed her to leap vast distances and great heights, though still on a small scale. She notably was able to smash through the internal mechanisms of a missile that she entered.
		- **Superhuman Leaping**
	+ **Superhuman Durability:** When decreased in size, van Dyne possessed superhuman durability that was enough to survive falls from great heights and other impacts that would injure or kill even normal-sized humans.
* **Superhuman Reflexes:** With the suit, van Dyne could dodge attacks and objects very well.
* **Wing Protrusion:** By utilizing four artificial insect-like wings, van Dyne could fly at impressive speeds and maneuver with great agility with ease. However, after being in the Quantum Realm for 30 years, two of the wings were destroyed, leaving her unable to fly.
	+ **Flight**
* **Energy Blasts:** Van Dyne's suit came with an energy blast emitting device on her wrist which she used to disarm the Russian missile to no success.

### Abilities

**Gifted Intellect:** Van Dyne was one of the foremost scientists before and after existing in the Quantum Realm. She was able to perfectly align the machinery on the Quantum Tunnel to her precise location. She also knew about quantum physics and biochemistry to physically evolve herself to withstand the conditions of the Quantum Realm, and it was her genius that miniaturized Hank Pym's Quantum Tunnel.

* **Quantum Physics**
* **Biochemistry**

**Science:** Van Dyne is a brilliant scientist, having helped her husband with the Quantum Tunnel and being acknowledged by Bill Foster as a brilliant scientist as well.

**Engineering:** Van Dyne and her husband developed improvements to her Wasp Suit as well as even starting to create a new version before she was trapped in the Quantum Realm.

**Unarmed Combat:** Van Dyne is a highly trained fighter, having received extensive training by S.H.I.E.L.D.. She is able to fight evenly with the use of the Wasp Suit, helping to dominate stronger opponents.
