Mention the Incredibles version?
I don't think she's in the Incredibles Booger-mike ( talk) 20:28, 16 October 2019 (UTC)
Can someone verfiy that she is in fact from Cresskill, NJ? Being from that area, I can't find anything to verify this. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 192.12.240.129 ( talk) 22:44, 30 June 2008 (UTC)
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.
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)
My memory is the Wasp's sting came much later. Her first use of a weapon was a sewing needle. (was it used against the Magician?). Hank then made her a wrist mounted air-gun which compressed the air as it shrunk with her. Only later (around the Kree/Skrull war?) did she get "bio blasts". — Preceding unsigned comment added by Gaffer206 ( talk • contribs) 22:46, 20 September 2011 (UTC)
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.
To be honest, the idea that it's not Janet hadn't even occurred to me until now. It seems unlikely that Giant-Girl is Cassie Lang, given that the character has Janet's auburn hair rather than Cassie's blonde and wears a variation on a Hank Pym costume. I have not read all the issues of the Marvel Adventures series however so if there is anything that suggests she is not Janet, please let me know. Rajah1 10:48, 25 December 2006 (UTC)
Ultimates Version: Plainly Janet started out as Asian, then she's Caucasian with no explanation whatsoever. Anyone know why this is? —Preceding

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)
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)
I've (hopefully temporarily) removed the following recent addition to the "Marvel Zombies" section:
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)
Image:Ultimates06.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

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)
I changed the intro (but not other contents) to reflect Pym's new status as the Wasp. Obviously more work needs to be done, but which route should we take?
(a) Change "Wasp (comics)" to a disambiguation page and move content to "Janet van Dyne"
(b) Include both Hank and Jan under "Wasp (comics)" (like the Flashes)
(c) Merge "Henry Pym" with "Wasp" and call it something like "Henry Pym and Janet van Dyne"
(d) Something else...?
I favor (c) since the characters' histories are so intertwined, but suspect others would prefer separate listings. And of course we would have to also figure out how many related characters (Scott Lang, the female Yellowjacket, Black Goliath, Giant-Girl, Stature, Stinger...) to incorporate...
Your thoughts...? --Dawud —Preceding unsigned comment added by 163.28.64.50 ( talk) 08:57, 31 December 2008 (UTC)
Hello fellow Wikipedians,
I have just added archive links to one external link on
Wasp (comics). Please take a moment to review
my edit. If necessary, add {{
cbignore}}
after the link to keep me from modifying it. Alternatively, you can add {{
nobots|deny=InternetArchiveBot}}
to keep me off the page altogether. I made the following changes:
When you have finished reviewing my changes, please set the checked parameter below to true to let others know.

Shouldn't nadia have her own page? She has her own solo series. Rachelskit ( talk) 01:39, 15 August 2017 (UTC)
Shouldn't wasp have in entry in the video games section of the other media tab? 209.23.33.195 ( talk) 01:28, 1 April 2023 (UTC)
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.
