    History

    Cassandra Lang is the daughter of the second Ant-Man, Scott Lang. When Ant-Man II spent time as an employee of the Fantastic Four, Cassie lived with them and met Kristoff Vernard, heir to Doctor Doom.

    Cassie became a scientist when she grew up. She and her father built the Stinger suit as an attempt to improve on the designs for the original Wasp and Ant-Man outfits designed by Henry Pym.

    After confronting Loki, Stinger joined up with several other new heroes in forming a new roster of the Avengers. These included J2, Mainframe and Thunderstrike.

    Stinger was a member of the Avengers contingent that investigated the possible return of Doctor Doom to Latveria, only to discover it was actually her old love Kristoff Vernard.

    When Spider-Girl tried out as a member of the Avengers, Spider-Girl was beaten by Stinger in combat. Spider-Girl was made a reserve Avenger.

    The Avengers were asked by Tony Stark to capture the hero known as the Buzz, thinking he was a thief and murderer, but he was assisted by Spider-Girl and Raptor who thought he was innocent.
