Hank Pym was a hero. In every sense of the word. A complicated man. Cursed by many Demons. Hank was a dreamer. The kind this world tramples. He wanted to make the world better. To give to everyone something he had never been able to accept himself. During our marriage, during his bouts of depression, he'd tell me that all he ever wanted to do was to stop feeling. To move through life without every aspect of it causing him so much pain. I believe that more than anything else, led to the creation of Ultron. He created a life that knew neither pain or suffering. A being that could experience the wonders of creation while avoiding the pitfalls of human emotion. But he put too much of himself into the machine. The rage of Ultron was never Hank's intention, but it was unavoidable. It was always there in the background, tormenting him. So of course it seeped into his son. Ultron was at once an amazing achievement and the greatest possible mistake. And knowing what he'd unleashed... Hank was never free of guilt. But he never stopped dreaming. Never stopped trying. And I think that just goes to show what a great man Hank Pym was. If the rage of Ultron, if such self-loathing and vile hatred existed within my ex-husband... The fact that he was able to dedicate his life to the service of other people is remarkable. Hank Pym was an astonishing man. And if there's some part of him, still out there, somewhere, listening. I hope one day he'll let himself see that.

—Avengers: Rage of Ultron Vol 1 1

I still have Hank's living will, Steve. In bold letters it says "Do not resuscitate." In the event of a tragedy -- he didn't want to be a half-corpse hooked up to a machine -- but look at him now! Look at him, Steve! Ultron murdered Hank, and now he's wearing his face!

—Uncanny Avengers Vol 3 10

Wherever you are, Hank... I'm going to get you for this. Here goes Janet Van Dyne, the feelings Avenger.

—Avengers Vol 1 680

Everyone thought I was gone. But I was lost in the Microverse. And when I came back... the way I got through it was by not picking up where I left off. I saw it all as a second chance.

—Janet Van Dyne (Earth-616)

I was an Avenger. If someone had taken six lives because they thought nobody would care? I'd make it my problem.

—Avengers Incorporated (Earth-616)

Ant-Man	Wait! Before we separate, the Wasp and I have something to say! Each of us has a different power! If we combined forces, we could be almost unbeatable!
Iron Man	Work as a team? Why not? I'm for it!
Thor	There is much good we might do!
Hulk	I'm sick of bein' hunted and hounded! I'd rather be with you than against you! So, whether you like it or not, I'm joining the... the... Hey! What are you callin' yourselves?
Wasp	That's right! We need a name! It should be something colorful and dramatic, like... the Avengers, or...
Ant-Man	"Or" nothing! That's it! The Avengers!!
Iron Man	We'll fight together, or separately, if need be!
Hulk	I pity the guy who tries to beat us!
Thor	We'll never be beaten! For we are... the Avengers!

—Avengers Vol 1 1

Iron Man	I tell you we've got to find the Hulk! So long as he's running wild, there's no telling what he'll do!
Thor	Iron Man is right! So says Thor!
Wasp	But how do we find him??
Giant-Man	He's one joker you can't find in the classified ads!

—Avengers Vol 1 3

Giant-Man	What's buzzing around me? Oh, Jan... it's you!
Wasp	How nice! You remembered my name!
Giant-Man	Forgive me, pretty girl! I was concentrating so hard I didn't hear you! C'mon, make yourself large enough for me to put my arm around you!
Wasp	Mmmmm! Now you're talking my language, handsome!

—Tales to Astonish Vol 1 65

The Wasp	You look pretty cheerful, Hawkeye! There must be a female in your future!
Hawkeye	There sure will be, if I can help it!

—Avengers Vol 1 34

Wasp	Hank... have you noticed how silent the Vision has been?
Yellowjacket	Small loss... that inhuman voice of his gives me the creeps anyway! Perhaps it's just as well!

—Avengers Vol 1 66

Wasp	What about the race that built the citadel? Will they ever come back?
Hank Pym	If they do, Honey, then Hank Pym will fight them with a test tube-- the Avengers with super-powers.
Goliath	And a prayer, old buddy. Don't forget that.

—Avengers Vol 1 91

Paladin	Jan! Where the Devil are are you?
Wasp	Right here silly. Why do you think I'm called... The Wonderful Wasp?
Paladin	Because you're a White Anglo-Saxon Protestant?
Wasp	Well, yeah, there's that... But mainly because I"m wasp sized, winged when I shrink... And I pack a mean sting.

—Peter Parker, The Spectacular Spider-Man Vol 1 105

Wasp	Any regrets, Hank?
Giant Man	Always. But as long as you're with me, they don't matter. Let the new team have the spotlight -- I'm still the luckiest man alive!
Wasp	Awww!

—Avengers Vol 3 4

Wasp	You know what, Hank?
Yellowjacket	Yeah?
Wasp	I haven't been able to say any of this... the way I've wanted to for a long, long time. I trust you, Hank. And I love you.

—Avengers Vol 3 57

Wasp	I promised myself I wouldn't use the Avengers to hide from my life's problems anymore.
Ms. Marvel	No one's asking you to do that. We're asking you to do that which you can do better than anyone in the world.
Wasp	Well, when you put it like that...

—Mighty Avengers Vol 1 2

Wasp	You can stay here.
Vision	That is not logical after I came to kill you.
Wasp	Before Hawkeye was an Avenger, he was a criminal. Before I came here I was nothing but an heiress. The Avengers are about giving you a chance to start over. You just have to decide what you want that start to be. ... You make your own choices. Create your own path. You come up with a vision of what you aspire to...and then you work to make it happen.
Vision	A vision.
Wasp	Anything come to mind?
Vision	I would have a name.
Wasp	Then I guess you better start thinking. That's yours to decide.

Captain America	More so if I wasn't here.

—Uncanny Avengers Vol 1 12

Nadia Pym	They need to fill out a form for me and I need a last name, but I've never really had a last name before.
Janet Van Dyne	Okay?
Nadia Van Dyne	And I thought, Pym makes sense, right? My pare nts' name. Why wouldn't I choose that? Except I never knew them and I don't know what they were like, and my last name should mean something to me. And I could only think of one last name that meant anything to me. And it's Van Dyne. But I wanted to ask you. Because it seems like it would be weird if I just got your last name and didn't ask or--
Janet Van Dyne	Yes! I would be honored.

—Unstoppable Wasp Vol 1 8

Janet Van Dyne	Whatsamatter with you?
Tony Stark	Nadia gave me a hug.

Janet Van Dyne	She's a good girl.

—Unstoppable Wasp Vol 2 7

Agent Wasp	I've gotta ask -- why the heck did T'Challa add him to the roster?
Director Okoye	The loincloth-wearing warrior who refuses all technology, the portly martial artist who eats like a pair of horses, the talking gorilla, the little alien, the cursed wolf-man... my King believes these people are suitable for the dangerous tasks set before us. I am reserving judgement at this time.

—Black Panther and the Agents of Wakanda Vol 1 1

Living Tribunal	We see, Thor, that one past scheme of Loki's led to your joining forces with several mortal heroes -- to form the Avengers. A team ever-growing... ever-changing... ever-united against common threats...
Thor	'tis true.
Captain Marvel	And we intend to keep doing so!
Captain America	As long as one of us yet lives.
Iron Man	We'll never give up.
Wasp	And you won't stop us!
