Have you ever given any thought to what Jan/Wasp would be like in the Iron Man: Armored Adventures universe? Lately I’ve been imagining her and AA!Pepper being besties in college and having awesome, world-saving adventures in between study dates

OH MY GOD ARMORED ADVENTURES JAN

I WANT IT

I want her to be the ultra-sophisticated super-smooth and accomplished sophomore who takes Pepper under her wing at Harvard, makes sure Tony and Rhodey don’t work themselves to death at MIT, chats with Gene in Mandarin (okay, YELLS AT GENE in Mandarin when he’s being a dick), and opens a fashion house with Whitney in her spare time. And is also a badass winged size-shifting superhero. 

Meanwhile, MIT junior Hank Pym can’t get his shit together long enough to talk to her, let alone ask her out, which is a total running joke all season. 

I really wish we’d had a third season of Armored Adventures with new heroes and Steve getting defrosted and Howard continuing to be the only affectionate, supportive, well-adjusted Howard Stark in any canon anywhere. 

Sam. Sam. SAM. I need this. The world needs this. You need to write this. For yourself. For the internet. For the universe. I am not above manipulating you in your medicated state. DO IT.

There are valid reasons for why Marvel swapped out Janet Van Dyne and Hank Pym for Natasha Romanova and Clint Barton as founding members of the Avengers in the MCU. Especially for where Marvel’s collective head was back in 2008-2011, when they weren’t even sure there would be an Avengers to form. It required far less CGI (and thus less money), it fit better with the MCU conceit of the Avengers being a SHIELD-sponsored paramilitary unit instead of Team Treehouse living on Tony Stark’s dime, it avoided tipping the team too far into Science Geeks Plus Cap territory, Black Widow and Hawkeye had more currency, etc. These may not be the best reasons, the only reasons, or insurmountable reasons, but they’re valid reasons.

But Marvel is going to have to come up with perfect reasons to justify apparently fridging Janet in 2014 to give Hank a tragic past and Scott Lang an age-appropriate love interest.

They had options here, far more than they did in 2008 when this was all a pipe dream or in 2011 when they punched their golden ticket with The Avengers. The MCU has expanded greatly, both on Earth with Agents of SHIELD and out into space with Guardians of the Galaxy and there is plenty of room to fit Janet in. Janet’s tiny, she fits everywhere.

Except, apparently, in the MCU as a living woman.

I feel like Marvel should listen to Jan and her opinions on ladies on superhero teams.

Oh wait they can’t because they cut her out of the MCU what a #JanetVanCrime

# but isnt that carol saying it in the last two panels???, 

YES but it was Jan’s idea as chair to bring in more ladies like Carol and Jen onto the team. This is Jan’s first issue as chair during this run of Avengers Vol 3 and the very first thing she did was bring more ladies onto the team. ^.^
