Wasp's Stingers are a set of gauntlets integrated with the Wasp Suit, capable of multiple functions, including firing bolts of energy.
History[]
Chase for the Mobile Laboratory[]
The new Wasp Suit used by Wasp featured specialized gauntlets with several capabilities. In 2018, during the fight at the Oui, Wasp used the blasters to take down two of Sonny Burch's henchmen, and later fired a Pym Particle Disc at a salt shaker, causing it to significantly increase in size to block Uzman and knock him unconscious. However, Wasp's Stingers later proved to be ineffective against Ghost, as the blasts simply went through her.
Wasp did manage to hit Ghost with her blaster during a successful attempt to escape from Ghost's Hideout.
Wasp once again used her blasters against Burch's men during the Chase for the Mobile Laboratory. She launched a Pym Particle Disk at a bike used by one of the henchmen to shrink it, causing him to fall, but she failed to hit a second a target due to Ant-Man's unsure driving and accidentally hit the Watcher Informant's car with it. She then fired a disk to inflate Luis' candy dispenser, incapacitating another of the pursuers.
The blasters were later used with mixed results against Ghost, as Wasp was able to hit her on several occasions but also sometimes missed her when her chaotic phasing caused her to become intangible.[1]
Battle of Earth[]
In 2023, Wasp used her Stingers' blasters with proficiency during the battle against an alternate Thanos and his alien army at the ruins of the Avengers Compound. She notably fired them alongside Pepper Potts' blasters and Shuri's Vibranium Gauntlets to knock alternate Thanos to the ground.[2]
Trapped in the Quantum Realm[]
In 2026, Hope, after being sucked into the Quantum Realm, She used her stingers to fight Kang the Conqueror in the Quantum Realm. She notably use them to prevent Kang from escaping the Quantum Realm.[3]
