Wasp (Nadia Van Dyne)

Nadia Van Dyne is a fictional superhero appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. Created by Mark Waid and Alan Davis, the character first appeared in Free Comic Book Day 2016 Civil War II (July 2016).

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. 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, hoping to obtain the admiration of her father's allies. 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.

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. 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.

At one point she aids Scott Lang - who is in outer space at that time - in an attempt to return to Earth, which results in a sequence of bizarre adventures in the Microverse. However, in the process, the two of them became quantum-entangled with each other.

In Issue #4 of the second series, it is revealed that Nadia has bipolar disorder, just like her father, eventual learning he is still alive and merged with Ultron.

She was soon discovered, sought after, and found by Mary Jane / Tigra, who defeated Gayle / Tarantula, and brought Nadia home, where Nadia was welcomed in open arms by Aunt Anna.
