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.
