Jun 1977 - What If...?
Vol. 1 #3: "What if The
Avengers had never been?" - A Gil Kane/Klaus Janson's Masterwork! The
Iron-Wasp! And in the same issue Iron-Man, Iron-Giant and
Iron-Rick vs Hulk and Namor the Sub-Mariner. A must see!
|
||
 |
Jul 2000 - Marvel Comics: Fantastic Four #1 - How are the super-heroes printed from the Marvel Comics IN the Marvel Universe? Here is the answer for the Wasp: with a costume different from the "real" one. | ||
 |
Jul 1989 - What the... #5 - Bulk meets the Man with the pizza on the head and... the power of the merchandising of the Bulk's image involves also the Avengers, or the Bulk-Avengers? | ||
 |
Feb 1995 - What if... vol.2 #70 (What
if...the Silver Surfer had not betrayed Galactus?) - ...then would not
have happened good things to the world. Did you ever saw a Watcher
annihilated? Or Thor defeated? Or Silver Surfer exploding? Ok, don't read
this issue!
The costume recalls the one on the cover of the Official Index to the Avengers #3 but is slightly different. The "What if" timeline and the "616" timeline are quite coherent. The only differences are the Wasp's costume and the Giant-Man's costume, red-blue instead of the yellow-blue one. |
||
 |
Oct 1988 - What if... vol.1 #29: What
if the Avengers defeated everybody? - Janet and Hank would have
married but as civilian, after the Avengers had disassembled.
I'm not sure if this is Janet's wedding dress... |
||
 |
Mar 1998 - Unlimited
Access #4 - Is she the Wondrous Wasp? No, she is the WONDER WASP! The
amalgam of Wasp and Wonder Girl. One of the incredible versions of
super-heroes created by the marketing project of the two "major"
of comics in USA.
|
||
 |
 |
 |
Jun 1997 - Exciting X-Patrol - Another Amalgam version of Janet Van Dyne. In this universe she is Elasti-Girl of X-Patrol, she can expand and shrink and does not have Wasp powers. |
 |
Dec 1983
- What if... vol.1 #42: "What if Susan Richards died in childbirth"
- Wasp appears in one cartoon, only. All the Avengers are watching the TV
telling about Susan Richards' death, while she was giving birth to her son.
The costume is probably the classic red/blue-black one, with wrong colours.
The Avengers formation: Captain America, Hawkeye, Scarlet Witch, Quicksilver, Giant-Man (in his yellow/blue costume) and Wasp. The Black Widow in costume is with them, too, and some panels after Hercules appears and without beard. Approximately this formation was active during Avengers #45, but Franklin Richards was born in Fantastic Four #76, a year later, in the Earth-616 timeline. |
||
 |
N ov 1999 - Domination Factor:
Avengers#1 - Probably bad-coloured, this costume should have been
orange/blue, as shown in Avengers#49/50.
In an alternate timeline, the Avengers have to fight Magneto at the U.N. Palace. |
||
 |
Jan 2001 - Universe X #4
- It's difficult to place this episode in the Earth-X continuity: the
death of the Avengers, and on Wasp too, killed by Crusher Creel! The
formation was: Giant-Man, Wasp, Hawkeye, Quicksilver, Scarlet Witch and
Vision, the only survivor.
The costume is quite different from the ones used by Janet in the same period in the Earth-616 timeline. |
||
 |
Feb 1968 - Not Brand Ecch #6 - Peter Parker marries his first wife, and she isn't Mary Jane Watson! She is the best choice for an human spider: THE WISP! | ||
 |
Jun 1968 - Not Brand Ecch #8 - A tiny appearance of Wisp in the first, splash page of the issue. But thanks to Robert Bradley and his scan... another (surely miscoloured) costume is here! | ||
 |
Dec 1968
- Not Brand Ecch #11 - A cameo appearance of
WISP, on the first page of the story.
The colours of the costume are all grays, but it is similar to the green one on Avengers #53/54, so it was probably copied from that one. |
||
 |
 |
Oct 1995 - Avengers/Ultraforce #3- Another universe, another past, another Wasp, another BLACK WIDOW! Pérez, Pérez, Pérez!
|
|
 |
Oct 1995 - Avengers/Ultraforce # 3- The same previuos story but another alternative Wasp? Just for an instant Janet/Black Widow sees another Janet with a costume which is a mix of Ant-Man's, Yellowjacket's and Spider-Man's costumes. Only the superior part of it was shown. | ||
 |
 |
199? - Spider-Boy Team-Up #1 |
Five Ladybugs in a time (thanks to Zeichman)! They are the Wasp's versions in the Amalgam
Universe and her
name is Salu Van Dyne. She is a member of the Legion of the Galactic
Guardians 2099.
The only Ladybug I found on Italian comic books was the fifth one, on an advertsing page inside another comic book. |
 |
 |
 |
|
 |
Oct 1997 - Avengers vol. II #12 - Heroes Reborn - Another universe again! Mmmh, I didn't like that storyline, but I read so few stories... However, the costume is very interesting. How many particulars! It wasn't so easy to draw, believe me.
|
||
 |
 |
1999? - Avengers the TV Series - Scans found on the Internet, but I have never watched any episode. |
|
 |
1999 - Mutant X # Annual 1999 - Thanks to 2 contributes by the generous Zeichman, the Yellowjacket costume worn by Janet in the "SixVerse" is here! | ||
 |
May 1982 - Fantastic Four: Roast - Fred Hembeck and a lot of fantastic artists show the celebration for the Fantastic Four 30th anniversary. | ||
 |
 |
Jul 1993 - What if...? Vol.2 #51: "What if... the Punisher became Captain America?" - Short appearance of Wasp, among the Avengers where Captain America was Frank Castle. Two costumes, identical in shape, and very similar to the red-blue-white classic one with the stinger on the chest. |
|
  |
  |
 |
Oct 1982 - What if...? Vol.1 #35/3: "What if...Yellowjacket had died?" - Here comes the Black Wasp! Yellowjacked dies in mission and Janet leaves the Avengers! Two costumes in the story, the second one is a dark version of a well-known W-shaped classic costume. Thanks to Proto-Man of the Masters of the Obscure for the scans of the Janet's outfits in the issue. Go here for a summary of the history. |
 |
Jun 2000
- The Authority #14 Wildstorm Productions - A
Wasp of another comicverse! And other, more cruel, cinic versions of the
Avengers! But they are not the stars of the issue, they must fight The
Authority.
Thanks to Zeichman for the suggestion. |
||
 |
Nov 2000 - Gambit #22 - Fontanelle is walking through the dimensions, and meet one where the First Son/First Sun is battled by several super-heroes, with Wasp between them. A very simple costume for Janet, and a strange brown skin for her? Miscoloring? Is she indian or asiatic/middle-oriental? Or she is simply bronzed? |
||
 |
 |
2001
- Mangaverse - Is it an experiment?
Another What if...? A marketing plan to attract the interests of
manga-readers? The new line of the Marvel Japan? I don't know. I saw just
three images of this universe and the graphic results are good. |
|
 |
|
198?/2003 - Avengers/Justice League - Lots of un-printed B/W tables of the original crossover and an old illustration by Pérez are relative to these two costumes. The second one was remaked and used in Avengers/Jla #3 with different colours. | |
 |
1999 - Comics Interview #50 Cover - Probably the first unofficial cover about the crossover between Avengers and JLAers. Offiacially, it is only the cover of Comics Interview 50. | ||
 |
2000? - Wizard #105 (Last Man Standing) - From a wonderful "big" panel drawn by George Pérez. The super-action scene involves several heroes belonging to the Avengers and to the JLA groups. Was it only an hypotetical match, or George had an idea, yet, of the "major" crossover he's working for, now? | ||
 |
2001 - Avengers/Justice League Promo - The ultimate cross-over is here! I don't know if the story is the same never printed years ago, but I know it will be another of the many Pérez masterworks. The Wasp's costumes on the promo images (or covers?) are very different from the one drawn years and years ago (see above). | ||
 |
2002 - Avengers Justice League double splash page (or poster?) - This time, the artist is Geoff Isherwood, and the theme is the Avengers/JLA meeting. Great art, and a beautiful Wasp's costume with an optimal choice of the colours. | ||
 |
2002 - Avengers/Justice League preview double splash page - And this double table willl be part of the story. Lots of Avengers and JLAers are fighting a famous 5-tentacles enemy. | ||
 |
2003 - Wizard World Texas
Official 2003 Convention Program Cover - Of course I never saw this
"program" in Italy, and I never went to thi socnvention, but on
the 'net we can fine lots of things, an also a little scan of the cover.
It was drawn by George Pérez, of course, because the cover theme is:
Avengers/JLA! Note: the costume is very similar to the one drawn on the remake of a double splash page, you can find it just a bit above... |
||
 |
2003 - Avengers Justice League #1/2 - This is the official costume of the cross-over, slightly different but basically same previous one. | ||
 |
 |
 |
2003 - Avengers Justice League #3 - Wasp appears with 6 different costumes and 1 night clothes! But only 3 of them were unprinted. |
 |
2003
- Avengers Justice League #4 - The previuos record is wiped away by
Pérez: 11 different costumes and 4 of them in just one page! The only original costume is this, and remembers the one used in the Avengers/JLA promo (see above). |
||
 |
2002 - The Ultimates #1 - The Ultimateverse expands his horizons, including the ultimate version of the Avengers. I didn't read the stories, but Brian Hitch is a great artist, and his Wasp (oriental-like) is sexy and tough! | ||
 |
2004 - Ultimates Two #1 - Of course, in the second season of the Ultimates Avengers, Wasp changes her costume. Could this be different? Note the black/yellow stripes on the chest, that recalls the stripes of a real wasp. | ||
 |
Oct 2003 - Exiles #31/32 - A vampiric version of Wasp, assembled to other evil Avengers, fought by the Exiles. In this world, Wasp is more powerful than in the Marvel Universe world because she was infected by the King of Vampires in persona: Captain America! | ||
 |
Set 2004 - Exiles #49 - Who could conceive
the "Paper Doll Avengers"? The Impossible Man, of course, in an
alternate reality where he can shapeshift everything and everyone.
Note as even in worlds separated from entire dimensions, the costumes could be similar. This one is almost equal to the one seen in Exiles #31. |
||
 |
Nov 2004 - Exiles #52 - We don't know the actual battlename of Janet Van Dyne in this reality, because the costume recalls the Yellowjacket's one. |
|
|
 |
 |
Dec 2003 - Captain America Vol.4 #19/20 - When Captain America was found in the Artic Sea, he awakened and saw... a group on Nazists? And the USA are led by the Red Skull? And Bucky isn't dead? And in the resistance forces there are Bruce Banner, Henry Pym, Ben Grinn, Peter Parker and Janet Van Dyne and many other well-known names? | |
 |
Apr 1999 - Earth X #1 - I don't have all the chapters of the saga, but I know enought to say that this isn't a costume, it is a robot! I saw the same armor-suit in an awesome table from Avengers Forever drawn by Carlos Pacheco, but it wasn't identical. | ||
 |
Mar 2007 - Spider-Man & Power Pack #3 - We are in the middle of the Civil Wards, and we can see Wasp drawn by Chris Giarrusso playing in the Stark Park. | ||
 |
1995 - The Last Avengers Story -
Copied by an illustration found on Internet (the second cover of the
issue).
|
||
 |
Feb 2002 - Marvel Universe Millennial Visions
2001 - In the future of the 26th century, a new roster of the Avengers
will be assembled. Alongside Thor, Hercules, Tatiana Maximoff, Thaddeus
Stark, Tannan Six will also be Deva Van Dyne as Wasp!
