Character Information:
Name: Janet van Dyne aka Wasp
Canon: Marvel Avengers Academy
Canon Point: Right before the Guardians of the Galaxy event
Age: late teens (it is unspecified in canon, but the campus resembles a college campus).
Type of Character: Canon
Reference: http://avengers-academy.wikia.com/wiki/Wasp http://marvel.wikia.com/wiki/Janet_van_Dyne_(Earth-TRN562)
In general, for background things, I’ll assume Wasp’s childhood and teens were similar to her Earth-616 (that’s main Marvel Comics) continuity.
Setting Concepts: The Marvel multiverse is based on our Earth. It is explicitly a multiverse with many incarnations of the same people and events. For instance, in the main Marvel universe (called Earth-616), Janet van Dyne was one of the founding members of the Avengers decades ago, while in the universe represented by the Marvel movies (Earth-199999), she died decades before the Avengers formed in response to an alien invasion.
This particular incarnation of the Marvel multiverse is focused on Earth, apparently in a large coastal USA city (assumed to be New York, given its tie to the Avengers in other universes). On the waterfront, sits a phenomenon known as timefog covers much of the area. Next to the timefog sits the Avengers Academy, run by Director Nick Fury and a collection of two gods (Odin and Ares) and Dr. Hank Pym, with assistant Pepper Potts. Fury’s stated goals are to recruit and train teenagers with superpowers (or the sort of technology that can pass for powers, such as Tony Stark’s Iron Man suit). As several other schools have sprung up -- Hydra School and the AIM Institute of Super-Technology -- themed along major villain factions and willing to cause trouble, this may be wise. In fact, most of the superpowered characters appear to be high school and college aged, and a lot of actions are a mix of standard villainous plots and the sort of school comedy that happens between rival schools.
It seems like Fury knows a great deal more about the timefog than what he tells his students. We the audience don’t know much about it, save that it covers ruins and that occasionally has flashes of other characters visible in it (Thor and the Hulk). Captain America’s shield was found in it, as was Iron Man’s helmet, which Tony notes as chilling because he’d not gotten his full Iron Man suit out of the design phase. Loki has also sensed his own death after scrying the campus and timefog. This suggests that there might be some deeper connection to time travel or the Multiverse, one that the faculty is hiding from the students.
Nicky Fury knowing more than he lets on and superhero battles aside, Avengers Academy has a mix of training facilities for an army and what you’d expect to find on a college campus. One can fight robots, blast targets, or spar under the supervision of Ares… or one can hang out in the dorms or the library, sit on the quad and people watch, dance in Club A, or soak in Tony Stark’s hot tub (codenamed: Stark Initiative).
Personality: Wasp is incredibly enthusiastic. She was one of the first students recruited by Nick Fury and Tony “Iron Man” Stark, and adapted to being part of a superhero school and team quickly. It didn’t take much to persuade her to join, and Wasp is often one of the first people to reach out to a new student -- she helped get autographs of other superheroes for Ms. Marvel, for instance. She is friends with most people on campus, whether it be admiring Gamora’s emo rocker persona or helping Sam Wilson redecorate. She is even friends with Loki, despite knowing that Loki isn’t to be trusted. (Whether Loki reciprocates… Who even knows with him?). About the only exception is Amora the Enchantress, who openly puts Wasp down; Wasp can accept that Loki calls her ‘Bug-Woman’, because Loki gives nicknames to everyone and it might not be serious, but Amora generally is hostile to most people.
Wasp’s social nature isn’t just to the people she knows in person: she also is the one to talk to for promoting things. There isn’t spite involved, but she is chatty and generally open about what she knows and doesn’t know, and she doesn’t always think about what the effects are (she had to apologize to Loki for posting about him, because whatever she wrote really pissed him off). To get Wasp to keep a secret, you must impress that this is important for you. Wasp wants to be a good friend -- an important secret is one she will keep unless she is sufficiently worried about its effect on you. Everything else might be talked about.
Wasp also doesn’t do well with intra-team conflict. Right now in the game, Tony and Steve are fighting about the best way to defend the campus from a Hydra School invasion and rescue some captives. Wasp’s initial reaction was to have Steve help her get tougher, then tell Tony that she also wants to be friends with him (but robot armies are less useful for making Janet van Dyne a badass than Steve’s training programs). Wasp later noted to Natasha that she thinks the boys are taking this too seriously, and if it gets further out of hand, they need to form Team Stop Being Dumb.
As noted with her wishes with Steve, Wasp might want to be friends with everyone, and dislike conflict, she can still kick some ass. She donned some experimental gear courtesy of Dr. Pym to fight the Chiitauri invasion and openly admitted to Natasha that cheerleading and football were both fun activities. (It’s also why Wasp sees Natasha’s ballet training as perfectly fitting a spy. Wasp sees no conflict between femininity and being a badass. Or not being feminine and also being a badass. You do you, everyone!)
Wasp does have a strong aesthetic interest. Her other major interest besides superhero-ing is fashion. She owns and runs her own fashion line and designs costumes for friends. She’ll also consult on designs -- when Tony wanted to build an armored suit for Pepper, he insisted on consulting Wasp. (Wasp found it adorable, but noted that Tony’s sense of design is fine.) She is scientifically literate, but she’s not a genius like Tony or Dr. Pym, or a dedicated espionage agent like Natasha. Wasp also has helped with decorating and campus enrichment.
Ultimately, her role on campus would be the social chair of the student council (if one existed beyond Steve wanting to have elections for president). She could maybe lead, and Ms. Marvel did ask her and Falcon to help her with AIM, but Wasp is far more the social leader than the person doing the organizing. Given some of the disparate personalities involved, that’s a useful talent.
Appearance: http://vignette4.wikia.nocookie.net/marveldatabase/images/5/53/Janet_van_Dyne_%28Earth-TRN562%29_from_Marvel_Avengers_Academy_003.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20160214054615
Wasp is human, with light skin, blue eyes, and brown hair. She favors black, white, and gold outfits to keep the theme of her insect alias. Wasp can shrink down (see abilities) from her normal height (assumed to be around 5’4”) to anywhere down to 0.5”. When she does so, she also sprouts two pairs of insect-like wings and has a yellow glow around her.
Abilities: Wasp has a number of superpowers. It’s assumed she got them the same way her other universe counterparts did, by exposure to Pym Particles which allow her to reduce her size and mass. Wasp also has wings she can bring out to fly when her mass and size are reduced. Finally, she can create blasts of bioelectricity, rather than the more traditional ‘wasp’s sting’.
Wasp does have combat training and has been on several missions. She’s got good aim, and is very agile in the air. In one mission, she went head to head with a mind-controlled A-bomb, a character that can rival the Hulk in terms of strength and toughness, which implies she can handle herself in a physical combat match, even if she’s not super strong or super tough.
Wasp’s mundane talents revolve around two things: fashion and social media. She owns her own clothing store on campus, and regularly designs costumes for her teammates, often incorporating technology from the resident geniuses. She always has her cell phone on hand, and is probably the best person at the Academy for using the Internet to get the word out. She also knows something of science and technology, though she’s not on the level of Tony Stark or Dr. Pym, or has the hacking skills of Natasha Romanoff or Scott Lang.
Wasp may have some talent at reading people, including non-humans: she is one of the few characters who can understand Groot (whose ability to replicate human speech begins and ends with ‘I am Groot’).
Inventory: Her (Tony-Stark-built) cell phone, and a textbook.
Soul Gem: A yellow gem on a bracelet.

Hello Keelai! This is so cool!
[someone is taking the whole ‘pulled to the Turtle’ very well]
This is Janet van Dyne speaking. I better make my intro post. Let’s see, I’m an only child, and I currently attend the Avengers Academy in New York City, on Earth. I run a shop called Van Dyne’s, which does custom clothing for the hero on the go. When not living on the back of a giant turtle, I mean.
My hobbies include blogging, fashion photography and design, playing with my chihuahua, and kicking butt as the Amazing Wasp. Astounding Wasp? Ooh, Wondrous Wasp, that’s alliterative!
I hope we can all be friends, or at least the heroes this Turtle-city needs, and strike fear in heart of evil everywhere.
So, tell me about yourselves.
