Wow, that was weird

Avengers (1998-2004) #20 - Kurt Busiek, George Perez, Al Vey

Mention of Hank Pym's experimental gases that turn him into Yellowjacket, although I was kinda blinded by the wonky history of his love affair with Jan - told by Jan - in which she blames herself for taking advantage of him and heightening his depression and weakness and thus kinda sorta almost comes close to admitting she did things to make Pym hit her. 

 

You know why Pym is known as the wife-beater of the Marvel Universe?   Because you keep bringing up weird ass shit like this and keeping it in our minds. 

 

So, let's be clear: yes, Pym was inhibited, and felt depressed and unmanned by it.   But that isn't Jan's fault.  When he lost his inhibitions, and proposed to her, I don't see saying yes as manipulating his depression.   I can see how he, they all, thought of him as a different person and how she thinks that might send him a mixed message, but let's call it what it really was: a plot device.   It was meant to make everyone think she was betraying Hank while making it alright in the end. 

 

And the fact that she has all this angst and guilt and feels as if she's responsible for Hank's mental health more than he is?   Woof.   the issues, guys, the issues. 

 

Oh, right, also Ultron kidnaps Wonder Man, Vision, Scarlet Witch and The Wasp to add to his action figure collection of Giant-Man and The Grim Reaper.   Why is the real question and no one can quite believe it when he tells them. 

 

He brings them to the country he's wiped out.   And I mean he literally killed every single human in the country in  like half a day.   

 

I'm kinda hoping Vision wins because sexier, but if Ultron wins I won't cry too much.   Or at all.
