* AngerBornOfWorry: In issue #7 Nadia ends up so distraught over Ying having to be taken to hospital following the events of the previous issue that she first reacts to Janet grabbing her (which Janet admits in narration was a bad move when dealing with a highly emotional and highly trained assassin) by punching Janet in the face hard enough to break her nose. Then when Janet arrives at the hospital she finds Nadia threatening to break a doctor's arm because they won't allow her to accompany Ying into surgery.

In the same issue it's show that trying to hurt Nadia when Ying is around is also a bad idea when she jumps Whirlwind and [[IllKillYou declares her intent]] to stab him to death for it.

* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: After multiple attempts to peacefully resolve a hostage situation fail when one of the villains punches Nadia in the face, the tone of the scene noticably shifts. Nadia's narration boxes lose all their cheeriness and begin clinically describing the brutal effectiveness of Krav Maga, which Nadia learned in the Red Room and which she uses to badly beat up both villains present. Nadia is later pretty disturbed at what she did, since she left both of them with serious injuries.

'''''Unstoppable Wasp''''' is a 2017 comic book published by Creator/MarvelComics, written by Jeremy Whitley with art by Elsa Charretier. It stars Nadia Pym as the all-new [[ComicBook/TheWasp Wasp]], who first appeared in ''Free Comic Book Day 2016: ComicBook/{{Avengers}}'', created there by Creator/MarkWaid and Alan Davis (dated May 2016) with a costume designed by Alex Ross.

The daughter of legendary scientist (and founding Avenger) [[ComicBook/AntMan Hank Pym]] and his late wife Maria, Nadia never actually knew either of her parents. She was raised an orphan in the Red Room, which famously produced --among many others-- Natasha Romanoff, the ComicBook/BlackWidow. When it became apparent that she inherited her father's knack for inventing, Nadia was placed in the Red Room's science division, where she reverse-engineered his famous [[AppliedPhlebotinum Pym Particles]].

Upon escaping from the Red Room, she turned up at Pym's door in the hopes of a father-daughter reunion, but was disheartened to learn he'd very recently sacrificed his life to stop ComicBook/{{Ultron}}. Deciding to assume her father's legacy, Nadia then created her own Wasp suit and sought out the Avengers, hoping to earn their approval.

After a brief misunderstanding with a mind-controlled [[ComicBook/TheVision Vision]], their long-serving butler Jarvis introduced Nadia to her step-mother Janet Van Dyne --the original Wasp herself-- with whom she quickly bonded with, readily endorsing her identity as the new Wasp.

Shortly after introducing herself to the superhero community, Nadia joined the new Avengers roster as a full member and, with the advice of fellow crimefighting scientist [[ComicBook/{{Mockingbird}} Bobbi Morse]], decided to become a champion for the smartest (and oft-ignored female) minds of the MarvelUniverse -- making her the ''Unstoppable'' Wasp.
