―Scott Lang
Hope van Dyne is the daughter of Hank Pym and Janet van Dyne, and a former chairwoman of the board of Pym Technologies. When Darren Cross attempted to create and sell a new weapon based on her father's Ant-Man Suit, van Dyne reunited with her father and, along with Scott Lang who succeeded Hank as Ant-Man, was able to defeat Cross. After these events, Pym found the possibility of saving his wife due to Lang's first experience in the Quantum Realm, from which van Dyne was finally being offered by her father a suit that belonged to her mother, therefore taking on the name of Wasp.
Over the course of another year, van Dyne would train alongside Lang, while forming a romantic relationship with him, until she broke up because Lang's actions during the Clash of the Avengers resulted in her and her father being wanted by the FBI. Two years later, van Dyne, Pym, and Lang successfully managed to retrieve her mother from the Quantum Realm and also faced Ava Starr when she became a threat to their plan of rescue. Van Dyne also reconciled with Lang and resumed their relationship.
Alongside her parents, van Dyne was among the half the population who turned to dust following Thanos' Snap. Five years later, during the Battle of Earth, van Dyne was resurrected, where she aided the Avengers in defeating Thanos and his army. After Thanos' army was disintegrated, van Dyne attended Tony Stark's funeral with Lang and her parents and later returned home to San Francisco to celebrate their victory with Cassie Lang.

Hope van Dyne demonstrated a focused and determined personality when she was able to utilize the EMP Communication Device to control the Ants with ease and proved herself a hyper-competent hero when compared to Scott Lang. Van Dyne is also very snarky, as shown when she mocked Lang by calling him "princess" or "useless" when he acted incompetent. Van Dyne is generally self-assured and blunt, being brutally honest about Lang's poor hero skills and his friends' unimpressive thieving reputation. In spite of her candid demeanor, she does try to motivate Lang by encouraging him, tutoring him and telling him that he's not that much of a failure when he did eventually improve. Van Dyne even grew to respect Lang and becomes proud of him when he demonstrates that he learned what she has been teaching him. She eventually became romantically affectionate towards Lang but showed slight embarrassment for it.
Van Dyne had a strained relationship with her father following her mother's apparent death, but after he revealed the truth, reconciled with him and even during the strain asked his help in stopping Darren Cross from enacting his plans. She was very much closer to her mother than her father during her childhood, but she loved both of them as she resented Pym for keeping her away after her mother seemingly died.
Some of Pym's cynical nature rubbed onto van Dyne as well. Her relationship with Lang had gotten strained following the latter using their technology to help Captain America violate the Sokovia Accords and seemingly "destroyed" the Ant-Man Suit. She was initially still angry at him and gave him cold responses up until the point where Lang revealed he had in fact saved it. The two soon mended their relationship, with Lang even wanting her as a partner.
Powers
―Ant-Man and Wasp •Wasp Suit Capabilities: van Dyne had been gifted the Wasp Suit by her father, Hank Pym, who had finally decided to tell her the truth about her mother and former Wasp, Janet van Dyne. Wasp then worked together with Pym to create weapons and an upgraded suit fit to her liking. •Size Manipulation: Similar to the Ant-Man's suit, van Dyne is able to reduce herself to the size of an insect by using Pym Particles in the belt of the suit to distance her atoms, effectively compacting her physical structure and allowing her to shrink down whenever necessary. She still maintains her regular sized strength and durability while in a reduced scale as the process amplifies the amount of force she can generate and increases her density. Additionally, the process of altering size compresses force and energy, manifesting as brief shockwaves of vibration around the target, which briefly augments her force and momentum as she returns to normal size. •Superhuman Strength: When decreased in size, van Dyne possesses a certain degree of superhuman strength, able to easily overpower enemies when shrunken down. The momentum of her attacks also appears to be increased. As she shrinks and regrows in an instant, the power behind her attacks, combined with her already superhuman strength and combat skills, allow for her to defeat the most skilled of combatants within a fraction of a second. •Superhuman Durability: When decreased in size, van Dyne's body is hyper-compressed, and is much resistant to injury, enough to survive falls from great heights and other impacts that would injure or kill even normal sized humans. She was notably capable of taking blows from the extremely dangerous Ghost. •Superhuman Speed: While wearing her suit, van Dyne can fly 125 miles per hour. •Enhanced Reflexes: The suit improves van Dyne's reflexes to avoid faster attacks. •Flight: By utilizing four artificial insect-like wings, van Dyne can fly at impressive speeds and maneuver with great agility with ease, as evidenced when a knife was thrown at her while she was shrunken down. She was able to fly from the center of San Francisco to Fisherman's Wharf in a matter of minutes. She can also use the wings at full-size as blunt-force weapons. •Energy Blast: van Dyne can fire bolts of energy from the wrists of her gauntlets. They are powerful enough to blast burning holes in reinforced materials, incapacitate the Ghost mid-phase, and knock a man unconscious. Her gauntlets were later upgraded before the Snap, now able to fire constant streams of concussive energy, powerful enough to push back the likes of Thanos during the Battle of Earth alongside Shuri and Pepper Potts. •Insect Manipulation: Through the use of the EMP Communication Device given to her by her father, van Dyne can use electromagnetic waves to communicate and control insects, primarily ants. The device uses electromagnetic waves to mimic pheromones and stimulate the olfactory nerve center of insect-sized organisms.
Abilities
―Hope van Dyne and Janet van Dyne •Genius-Level Intellect: Raised by Hank Pym, van Dyne is an expert in many fields of science. Hope seemingly carries her own father's passions in chemistry and physics, which explains why she seemed confident in her understanding of the Ant-Man Suit to the point that she thought she could wear it to take down Darren Cross. ―Hope van Dyne to Scott Lang •Master Scientist: Van Dyne is a highly skilled scientist, specializing in physics and chemistry. •Master Engineer: Van Dyne is a highly skilled engineer, being able to use her skill to build the Quantum Tunnel alongside his father. •Master Businessman: Van Dyne's business acumen has risen to the point she was able to secure for herself a stable position in Pym Technologies' board. She possessed enough power in the company to have the deciding vote to remove Hank Pym, the company's founder and CEO, from the company. ―Hank Pym to Scott Lang •Master Martial Artist: Van Dyne has trained in martial arts since she was a child, training Scott Lang in combat skills and fighting techniques, enabling him to become Ant-Man. Her martial arts prowess came in handy when she finally took the mantle of the Wasp. Van Dyne employs a mixed martial art including elements of muay Thai, Brazilian jiu-jitsu, Judo, kickboxing, and aikido. •Expert Marksman: •Master Acrobat: Van Dyne incorporates gymnastics and acrobatics into her fighting style as she battles opponents, notably dodging a knife thrown at her while shrunken, then using it as a platform to continue her assault.
Weapons
•Glock 17: Van Dyne took one of these guns from one of the security guards holding both her and her father Hank Pym at gunpoint. Van Dyne tried to dissuade Darren Cross from killing her father, but she was disarmed by one of the guards when Ant-Man stormed into the room and disabled the rest of the guards. Despite van Dyne disabled another guard herself, she could not prevent Cross from shooting Pym in the shoulder.
Other Equipment
•EMP Communication Device: Earpieces made by Hank Pym that allow Hope to control insects, which she and Pym trained Scott Lang to do. •Wasp Suit: A prototype for an upgraded version of her mother's shrinking suit was given to her by her father so that she could become the new Wasp. Like the Ant Man suit, it can manipulate its wearer's size while simultaneously enhance both the wearer's density and strength, allowing for her to gain superhuman strength and durability when shrunk.

•In the comics, Hope Pym appears in the MC2 continuity, set in a version of the Marvel Universe where a new generation of heroes and villains has supplanted the old, and is known as the supervillain Red Queen.
•She was later adapted into the main comics continuity as Nadia Pym, daughter of Hank Pym and his first wife, Maria Trovaya, who was taken to the Red Room by the Winter Soldier (at time when he was brainwashed) and raised to become a Soviet agent, ultimately becoming the new iteration of the Wasp after managing to escape from that Room. In Russian, the name Nadia translates to "hope."
