Hope Van Dyne (or Pym)

"You go low, I'll go high."
"I have wings. Why would I go low?"
―Scott Lang and Hope Van Dyne[src]

Hope van Dyne was the daughter of Hank Pym and Janet van Dyne, and a board member of the company founded by her father, Pym Technologies. When the CEO of Pym Technologies, Darren Cross, attempted to create and sell a new weapon based on her father's Ant-Man Suit, van Dyne reunited with her father and, along with an ex-con named Scott Lang as the new Ant-Man, was able to defeat Cross. After these events Pym found the possibility of saving his wife due to Lang’s first experience in the Quantum Realm, from which Hope was finally being offered by her father a suit that belonged her mother, to become the new holder of the mantle of Wasp.

Over the course of another year, Hope would train alongside Lang, while forming a romantic relationship with him, up until the point when he aided Captain America and certain Avengers escape the law after which she and her father cut ties with him. Two years later she, Pym and Lang successfully managed to retrieve her mother and also faced Ava Starr when she became a threat.

Alongside her parents, Hope was among the random people who turned to ashes following Thanos' success in assembling his Infinity Gauntlet and wiping out half the population.
