Regarding Ultimate Wasp, I feel she's a very poor hodgepodge of desperately trying to do something new with her and then doing nothing with the setup except have it revealed that all Hank's work is based on her. Otherwise, she's a highly trained scientist who does nothing at all with her training except declare incest is nothing to be bothered about to Cap, once Loeb gets his hands on her.

So I'd say it's a mix of both kinds of bland. She's super intelligent in the field of everything as the plot demands, but doesn't get a chance to display it at all.

By the way, please don't take my words as me suggesting I dislike Jan - she's actually one of my favourites, too, and I'd much rather see her in the Avengers than the sociopath bombsquad guy from The Hurt Locker.
