Janet Van Dyne, the Wasp, Powers and abilities

The winsome Wasp is one of the most experienced users of the size-changing Pym Particles, being the first person to employ them to acquire superhuman abilities besides their creator, Hank Pym. The Pym Particles treatment grants her access to a variety of derivative abilities, mainly flying when reduced in size[20] and firing bioenergy stings.[37]

Size Reduction: Due to long-term exposure to Pym Particles,[68] the Wasp can reduce herself in size, down to the dimensions of the insect from which she takes her name[20] 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, her strength was boosted while she is at reduced size, to the extent that she can bend a one-inch diameter steel bar almost double. Her size allows her to be easily unnoticed in most cases, allowing her to become stealthy in some cases.

 

Bio-Synthetic Wings: Due to small implanted insect wings, the Wasp could fly at incredibly fast speeds. These are functional when she reduced herself in height,[20] and can remain so until reaching a height that is a nearly foot shorter than her normal height.[citation needed] Her flight speed can also allow her to gain a form of superhuman reflexes and agility, being able to easily evade targets and attacks.[288]

 

Wasp's Sting: The Wasp could generate powerful bio-electric blasts from her hand that have been shown to be capable of cutting through high-density structures and is able to cause extreme pain to superhumanly strong and highly durable beings and can pierce their skin.[citation needed] At full size, Janet's stings can burn the face of the Sentry.[289]

 

Insect Communication and Control: Through the use of her retractable antennae, the Wasp could communicate with and control certain higher insects, in a manner similar to Ant-Man's helmet. She rarely chose to utilize this ability, however.[citation needed]

 

Size Addition: In addition to being able to shrink, the Wasp can grow significantly in size as well.[290][291][1][223] The growth process requires the rapid acquisition of bodily mass, presumably from an extra-dimensional source. This extra-dimensional mass should fortify all of her cellular tissues, including her bones and muscles, making it possible to support her increased weight, and giving her superhuman strength and durability.[292]
