Hmm, there's a couple of errors on there. The Vixen in Legends of Tomorrow isn't the character they're talking about (the actress who'd played her in Arrow wasn't available so they gave Mari's grandma Amaya the powers). And they say She-Hulk's original series was Sensational She-Hulk, which was actually her second run.
Janet could've been a few places higher I reckon. The heroes ahead of her being Rocket (Milestone), Vixen, Marvel Girl, Kate Pryde, Spectrum, Ms. Marvel, Black Canary, Sailor Moon, Scarlet Witch, Raven, Catwoman, Captain Marvel, She-Hulk, Supergirl, Harley Quinn, Invisible Woman, Black Widow, Batgirl, Storm, and Wonder Woman.

Jocasta had a notable Jan-related resurgence in the Dan Scott AVENGERS run, when Hank (creepily) using Jocasta as a Janet-surrogate during his run as Hank Pym: WASP - Scientist Supreme, in tribute to the, then dead, Janet Van Dyne.
It would be neat to see Jan and Jo share space some in a story.

lol, of course Jo would like Jan's costumes.
Though her calling Hank "Dr Pym" seems odd in hindsight, as Slott would later (in Tony Stark: Iron Man) have Jocasta take the Pym surname herself, considering herself to be his granddaughter. By the way Thirteen, Janet was Tony's girlfriend in that run, so there's your book featuring both Jan and Jo!

^^^I know, right?! Ms. Jo just called him Hank back during the '80s (LOL):

Jocasta also inherited Jan's love of different looks -- during the MIGHTY AVENGERS series, Jocasta had dozens of alternate bodies, with different variations on her appearance.
That was a bit of a shift in attitude for Jocasta, since prior to that Jocasta and Hank were lovers.
But then, that family tree has always had some awkward kinks when you look at it. She was created to be the "bride of Ultron", and as her creator Ultron was technically her "father" in addition to her "husband".
Yeah, and if Hank's her grandfather, then Janet is her grandmother - but since she has Janet's brain engrams, she's also her sister (like how Vision sees Wonder Man as a brother).
Is it any wonder Viv apparently crashed when trying to explain the family tree in Unstoppable Wasp? Even her synthezoid brain couldn't process the complexities of the Pym/Vision/Van Dyne family tree (which also includes the Maximoffs, since Scarlet Witch was the basis of Virginia Vision, Viv's mother).
