Janet Van Dyne: The Winsome Wasp Appreciation 2019

**chamber-music** · 02-25-2019, 05:14 AM

The media in general is pretty awful at dealing with mental health issues unfortunately. Nadia's Bipolar portrayal was handled with a lot of thought, maturity and care. With Hank Pym writers are generally less sensitive. I get the feeling some writers would probably have Tony Stark make a quip about Hank's suicide attempt if they could.

There will be new movie Ant-Man and the Wasp figures coming out and the Ant-Man one has a small janet van dyne figure (and hank!)

Jan had many good and many crappy outfits over the years.

The Buscema two-colored leotard was okay, but not brilliant.

I think Perez and Byrne were the only two artists who came up with good designs. Wouldn't have minded seeing one of those on a Jan Pym action figure. Anything she wore from the Milgrom era is best forgotten.

As an acclaimed expert on all things fashion, Jan's outfits reflect her keen eye and perceptiveness. The Wasp has had varying degrees of success in her choice of costumes, but my all-time favorite is the one she wore before Avengers Disassembled:

That costume was also what she wore when she came back from the "dead". It was only replaced when she joined the ANAD era Uncanny Avengers, making it's last appearance in an All-New Wolverine issue shortly before that. It's easily Janet's longest lasting costume.

She did wear another costume for the first Uncanny Avengers, and an enhanced version of it in the Planet X arc but yeah its easily her most iconic one.

I'm disappointed to say that's probably not far off from something modern Tony would be written as saying.

Especially if written by, say, Remender.

It's been something I've been hoping for since the Disney+ shows became a thing

I don't think you get into Avengers Tower with a key, haha.

edit: omg what hahaha I just saw zemo

**Digifiend** · 03-03-2019, 03:18 AM

Yeah, the reason I posted that in this thread is because he's wearing a pathetic attempt at a Janet disguise.

**Divine Spark** · 03-17-2019, 12:52 AM

Well the MCU did Janet dirty again.

**Digifiend** · 03-17-2019, 02:43 AM

You mean with Carol now being the origin of the Avengers name?

**Captain M** · 03-17-2019, 06:58 AM

Yeah I'm still shaking my head over that
