One panel of classic Deodato.

I came so close to adding more, because God, there's some priceless hilarity, but this new character design made me laugh the hardest.

	So who's the evil death-pixie? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Wasp. I'm NOT kidding. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	... Okay, but as an original design for a Dr. Strange villain for example, I think it would have been kind of neat. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Newly-regenerated Janet, fresh from her time in a cocoon she got put into in order to save her life after Kang-Controlled!Tony shot her point blank in the chest with a repulsor. Oh, and she was human when she went in. And she's not evil, just creepy-looking. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Heh. A long while ago I uh, got a bunch of comics and saw... this... redesign in it. I even wanted to post about it but decided against it. Especially because of 1990's Beardless Surfer Dude Hercules. I'm not even sure if this is even in canon anymore. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Can't say for sure, but during the Busiek era, everyone remembered it happening, though they were trying to forget. Jarvis mentions the incident while trying to clarify the current status of assorted Avengers to their then-government liason. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	It happened, but the effects were undone by Heroes Reborn, when Franklin recreated the heroes in the pocket dimension-y thing, he did so as HE remembered them, which meant a human Wasp and an older Tony who was not a mind controlled Kang-pawn. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Franklin even fixed Hawkeye's hearing, according to that story. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Oh, come on put something up with Moonraker in it !!! (Reply to this) (Thread)

	I've only got Avengers, which equals either torture scene or lying in a medlab. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	I still think the great tragedy of "The Crossing" is that it featured the only good costume Wanda's ever had, so naturally we'll never see it again. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	I actually like the red riding hood look from Exiles best, but the one from the Crossing wasn't horrible. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Perez's Gypsy-Wanda costume was easily the best. :P And I'm not just saying that because she didn't wear panties. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	If I saw a belly dancer in that outfit, she would have my full and undivided attention. A superheroine in that outfit, however, strikes me as having a very unsexy death wish. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	I had the action figure based on this design. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	And if I'm correct, wasn't it the only toy she ever got? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	box_in_the_box 2009-10-27 04:39 pm UTC (link)
	No, she also got one based on that dire '90s Avengers cartoon. To be fair, though, she also got one as part of a boxed set of the original Avengers, in their first-issue costumes. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	There was a recentish Marvel Legends one in her black costume, and two variants, one in red and one in blue. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	UGH no no, this is the Deodato I do NOT like... (Reply to this)

	As shitty as Marvel quality was at this time, I actually liked the Wasp redesign, and Black Widow and Wanda's costumes. (Reply to this)
