Character:
Character Name: Janet van Dyne
Comic/Movie: The Avengers
Alias/Codename: Wasp
Age: 27
Occupation: Fashion Designer

Superpowers/Abilities:
Size Reduction: Due to long-term exposure to Pym Particles, The Wasp can reduce herself in size, down to the dimensions of the insect from which she takes her name, roughly 1/2 inch in height. She usually chooses not to retain her standard density while at this reduced mass, but can choose to do so at will. The "lost" mass is shunted to a pocket dimension for later retrieval. Additionally, she retains full-sized strength while at reduced size.
Flight: Due to small implanted insect wings, at speeds of up to 40 mph. These are functional when she reduces herself to less than four inches in height.
Wasp's Sting: A powerful bioelectric blast from her hand that has been shown to be capable of cutting through concrete.
Insect Communication and Control: through the use of her retractable antennae, in a manner similar to Ant-Man's Helmet. She rarely chooses to utilize this ability.
Talented Fashion Designer: Janet is a very talented fashion designer. During her early days as the Wasp, she would constantly make new costumes for herself and wear different ones for almost every new mission. Over the years, her talent earned her a spot in the fashion market on great demand.
Skilled Combatant: Janet has adapted to a special kind of hand-to-hand combat that was created by her ex-husband Hank Pym, which takes advantage of the fighter's insect size against a much larger form and physique enabling them to strike pressure points before the opponent even realizes what happened.

Personality:
Janet is very self-centered. She believes that because she has come from a wealthy and famous background that she must be treated with a high respect than other people. She believes herself to be as close to a princess and one can get, and isn't afraid to act like it.

Although she can be all business when she is working, while doing anything else she's laid back. She is quick to get her business done, so she can move on to funnier things.

She loves dressing up and going to parties. She feels more at home being the center of attention than sitting on the sidelines.

Whenever she is, alone Janet likes to talk to herself. She also has a habit of messing with her hair. Because of his habit, she tends to change her hairstyle by monthly. She rarely keeps the same hairstyle for longer than six months. She also changes her costume whenever she feels that her old one is getting boring.

Janet's greatest fear is that of giants. She developed the free as a child, having always been very small.

Because of her small size, Janet can get into many places that other people can't. However, this comes with a big prize, at her smaller size, she becomes vulnerable to many larger things. This ultimately terrifies her.

Appearance:
Janet van Dyne stands at an even five foot four. She has a very slim build weighing only a hundred and ten pounds. She has dark brown hair nearly black hair, and chocolate colored eyes. She sometimes likes to wear blue contacts, but has of late decided her natural eyes suit her better. Janet's hairstyles change nearly daily but she likes to keep her hair cut short to her jaw line.

History:
Janet van Dyne is the daughter of world-renowned scientist Vernon van Dyne. Early in her life, she was a flighty, self-centered dilettante living resplendently on her father's fortune. When an alien brought to Earth during one of her father's experiments murdered the elder van Dyne, Janet contacted his colleague, Dr. Henry Pym. She told Pym of her resolve to bring her father's killer to justice. Pym revealed his secret identity as Ant-Man, and Janet underwent a biochemical process involving his Pym Particles that allowed her to shrink to insectoid proportions and to grow wings. Her exposure to the particles also allowed her to shoot stinger like blasts from her wrists.

As The Wasp, Jan and Hank tracked down and defeated the murderous Kosmosian, banishing it to its home dimension. Pym and van Dyne gradually fell in love; Jan reminded Pym of his deceased first wife, Maria. Pym and van Dyne became crime-fighting partners in their costumed identities.

On the side, Janet started up her own fashion company, Van Dyne Fashions. She became a world famous fashion designer, her designs being wanted by everyone on the planet.

Jan's attitude towards crime fighting was, at first, very carefree. She saw it as her way of attracting attention from Hank. Still the shallow socialite early in her career, Jan would often comment on the attractiveness of other heroes and villains just to try to elicit jealousy from her partner.
