Janet Van Dyne: The Winsome Wasp Appreciation 2021

[CosmiComic]

I'm fairly certain I saw someone this week in Van Dyne branded shirt in some comic. Runaways perhaps?

Ok. I wasn't sure if she was still doing that. I think it's a distinct job for a character.

[Chris0013]

Wasn't she originally a fashion designer?

I think fashion designer and business woman developed later.

Oh, didn't know that.

It certainly did.

Although, I never heard/saw that Janet went to any school/training for the fashion design, so it might be a hobby of hers that she is very good at (after designing so many of her own costumes) and just went with it.

Ok. She designed the costumes for the Avengers, right?

In fact, I think she did quite a few things with the Avengers, including being the chairman, if I'm not mistaken. Shame she was kept out of it in the movies.

Janet is confirmed to appear in the upcoming Darkhold Alpha series and it seems she'll also have a one-shot issue during that mini event.

That's great news! I really hope she get to interact with Wanda. Girls got ignored by Marvel Comics for some time.

Same in the movies, to be honest. At least Wanda's star is rising, but she didn't interact with Janet or Hope

Or really much of anyone other than Natasha for bit.

(This is why the "girl power" moment in Endgame fell a bit flat for me).

I didn't mind that moment considering there are other similar fan service moments in the MCU. But I do think female interaction needs to be more meaningful. The MCU has shown characters to be great friends, but it's mostly either male-female or male-male. With the influx of new female characters I hope this improves.

Plus Wasp has a cool power set.

Avengers Origin: Ant Man and The Wasp did a recton that she was studying fashion before Hank gave her powers.

Is that the comic from a few years ago "retelling" the origins?

Yes. Originally she was portrayed more like some girl who thought it was all fun.

How's she doing now? I haven't read Wasp solo comics

Jan is a successful and well connected business woman. She has not had her own series but appeared in the Nadia Wasp serieses, as Tony's girlfriend in Iron Man and in Agents of Wakanda as part of that team.

That's good to hear. She's Nadia's mentor, right?

I hope she gets to do something in Quantumania. Maybe she could even wear a suit.
