Powers and Abilities
Rita DeMara has no superhuman powers, but possesses expertise in cybernetic technology. Yellowjacket's helmet contains subatomic "Pym particles" which she can release by mental command cybernetically through the helmet's circuitry, enabling her to shrink in size from one-half inch in size and return to normal; the helmet also contains manual override controls. Her costume is equipped with "disruptor sting" blasters enabling her to shoot electrical bolts from her gloves; she can generate enough electricity to severely damage a car in a single blast. Her costume also permits flight at high speeds through unknown means. She also demonstrated growing powers on occasion; however, due to the strain this placed on her heart, she rarely used them.

Famous quotes containing the words powers and/or abilities:
“There are souls that are incurable and lost to the rest of society. Deprive them of one means of folly, they will invent ten thousand others. They will create subtler, wilder methods, methods that are absolutely DESPERATE. Nature herself is fundamentally antisocial, it is only by a usurpation of powers that the organized body of society opposes the natural inclination of humanity.”
—Antonin Artaud (1896–1948)
“Our wishes are presentiments of the abilities that lie in us, harbingers of what we will be able to accomplish.”
—Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe (1749–1832)
