I guess the Wasp became an interesting character further down the line, but in the early 60's she was worthless. I cringed everytime she opened her mouth. Guess that was Stan's fault though, eh?

Yeah, Stan had a hard time writing women I think. Sue, Jean and Jan were all useless at first. Plus they all initially had DEFENSIVE powers as opposed to offensive. Honestly, the Enchantress was the first woman character he wrote well.

Incidentally, on another board, it was pointed out that the issue of Avengers she is carrying does not contain the Wasp in it. Perhaps they were simply negotiating some sort of deal with the studio for further down the line and gave her a stack of books to familiarize herself with the characters?

Why can't they just let her have her imaginary babies and her robot husband? Look what happens when she doesn't!
