Marvel Comics

The Wasp is one of Marvel’s earliest female superheroes, and she has appeared in comics for more than 50 years. She was first introduced as a founding member of The Avengers in 1963. Over time, she became increasingly associated with her husband, Hank Pym (aka Ant-Man), and eventually took on his name. However, Wasp’s stories—especially her solo comics—aren’t quite as well known as some other Marvel characters… until now!

Hope van Dyne in the comics

Originally, Hope Van Dyne was Janet Van Dyne’s daughter with Hank Pym. Eventually, she took over her mother’s mantle as Wasp after Janet was killed by a Skrull impersonating her father. While she didn’t have any superpowers, she eventually inherited and mastered some Pym Particles (which could manipulate energy and matter in sizes ranging from small to enormous). The loss of her mother gave her extra motivation to fight crime.

In Marvel’s Ant-Man, it is revealed that Hank Pym had a wife, Janet Van Dyne, who once was known as The Wasp. Unfortunately, Janet was killed in action while saving her husband.

Quantum Realm

One of Ant-Man’s most defining moments is during his visit to what is called, the Quantum Realm. In Marvel Comics, when Janet Van Dyne (Hope’s mother) shrinks to subatomic size, she enters a reality where time and space do not exist. This was later adapted into one of Marvel’s new cinematic universes in 2015 with Ant-Man. The film depicts it as an alternative universe that can be accessed by shrinking beyond a certain point. This could have huge implications for future films such as Captain America: Civil War or even Avengers: Infinity War.

What is Evangeline Lilly the sponsor of?

Hope is an evolution on a previous role that Lilly had a small role in The Hobbit. She played elf Tauriel which was criticized for taking away from main characters and overshadowing them with her beauty and talent. Fans wanted to see more depth to her character, so she became Wasp. This allowed Ant Man to have a more powerful female character and included Lilly once again in his franchise helping to develop their relationship even further than before.
