There WAS a significant progression, though. Byrne gave her a scene with Jarvis where he was treating her as a 'ditz', and she explained that that was a persona she put on for Hank's benefit. Jan had a guest gig in Spider-Man that was dependent upon her being a competent chairperson of several corporate boards (how she managed to turn her inheritance into wealth). Jan was first placed in chairperson position in the Avengers because no one took seriously her desire for the position and they felt sorry for her personal issues. She handled the leadership position mostly in a female manner, delegating rather than officiating, and she almost always deferred to members when their expertise or experience were greater than hers.Cap was almost always her 'go to' guy for battle know how. The only one she got into trouble with was Herc, but there were outside forces at work there, and even Cap had to prove himself to Herc back in the day. Jan was complicated.
