In May 2011, the Wasp placed 99th on IGN's Top 100 Comic Book Heroes of All Time,〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Wasp is number 99 )〕 and 26th in their list of "The Top 50 Avengers" in 2012. The character was also ranked 94th in ''Comics Buyer's Guide's'' "100 Sexiest Women in Comics" list. In 2013, she was ranked the fifth greatest Avenger of all time by Marvel.com.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=The 50 Greatest Avengers of All-Time Pt. 5 )〕 The character makes a cameo appearance in the 2015 film ''Ant-Man''. ==Publication history== Janet van Dyne debuted in ''Tales to Astonish'' #44 (plotted by Stan Lee, scripted by H.E. Huntley, and drawn by Jack Kirby) as Henry "Hank" Pym's partner, becoming the Wasp to avenge the death of her father, scientist Vernon van Dyne. She co-starred in ''Tales to Astonish'' from issue #44 to issue #69. She was a founding member of the ''Avengers'', appearing in the first issue and giving the team its name. It is with the Avengers that Janet became most well-known. At first she was the weak link of the team, but later on became one of the smartest and craftiest of its members. Though she takes leaves of absence throughout the series, she is one of the longest active members and has acted as leader of the team for longer than any other member save for Captain America. During her absences from the core ''Avengers'' book, Janet appeared in various other publications, including appearing as a main character in ''Marvel Feature'' issues #6-10. She has also made sporadic guest appearances in various other books, such as Captain America, Iron Man, and Fantastic Four. Janet became the leader of the Avengers in ''Avengers'' vol. 1 #217, a position she held until ''Avengers'' vol. 1 #278 save for a brief period where she handed leadership off to the Vision. She then appeared in issue #32 of ''West Coast Avengers'', becoming a full-time member in issue #42. She made occasional appearances in ''Avengers'' vol. 3, returning as an active member of the team in issue #27 before resuming leadership duties. She and Captain America became co-leaders of the team starting in issue #38. After the events of "Avengers Disassembled", Janet appeared in the limited series ''Beyond!'' before rejoining the Avengers in ''Mighty Avengers'' vol. 1 #1-11. She was presumed dead during the events of Secret Invasion in 2008. Wasp returned in the ''Avengers'' "End Times" storyline that ran from issue #31 (December 2012) to issue #34 (January 2013). She currently appears as a member of the Avengers Unity Squad in ''Uncanny Avengers''. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Wasp (comics)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
