Nadia van Dyne briefly had her own comic, The Unstoppable Wasp, but it was cancelled after eight issues. The series is scheduled to return on October 3rd.[1]
Fictional character biography
Nadia is the child of Hank Pym and his first wife, Maria Trovaya, who was abducted and supposedly killed by foreign agents. Nadia was raised in the Red Room until she obtained a Pym Particle sample and escaped.[2] Initially intending to meet her father, Nadia learns that he is more or less dead, and instead uses parts of his costume and other materials to create a Wasp suit,[3] hoping to obtain the admiration of her father's allies.[2] She later meets Janet van Dyne, and they get along quite well, with Janet feeling that she has the potential to become a true hero.[4][5]
Nadia soon joins the Avengers and gains U.S. citizenship. Upon realizing that S.H.I.E.L.D.'s index of the world's most intelligent people doesn't list any women above 27th place, she starts the program G.I.R.L. (Genius In action Research Labs) to look for women with genius intellects.[6] When choosing a legal name, Nadia takes the surname 'van Dyne', as she does not know much about her birth parents and Janet has believed in and supported her.[7]
Powers and abilities
Nadia uses Pym particles to alter her size; she can shrink to a minimum of a few centimeters or grow to a maximum of several hundred feet. Smaller and larger sizes are possible, but put a strain on her body.
Other versions
The MC2 universe includes a character named Hope Pym who is the daughter of Hank Pym and Janet van Dyne. She and her brother Henry Pym Jr. (aka Big Man) are part of a team called the Revengers.
