Meet Four Of The New Smartest Women In The Marvel Universe, As Discovered By The Unstoppable Wasp

It was pointed out to me by someone far cleverer than me that The Unstoppable Wasp is Marvel's Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, even down to the titles – and Nadia Pym growing up in a bunker. And now a fish out of water in New York City.

And, with the first issue, a mission to discover the hidden geniuses of the Marvel Universe. Specifically the women. And to get them to join GIRL.

Jeremy Whitely has been introducing Marvel.com to them. With designs by Elsa Charretier, that look like they were whipped up this week.

Welcome to the new geniuses of the Marvel Universe

 Taina Miranda
"A Puerto Rican character from Washington Heights, New York, Taina has talent as an engineer. She builds robots, working with scrap and salvaged junk, while also facing multiple sclerosis. Taina looks forward to having the money and facilities to make better prototypes. And her sister Alexis first appears in a Hawkeye story I did in A YEAR OF MARVELS."

LaShayla "Shay" Smith
"A physicist from Brownsville, Brooklyn, Shay has a lot in common with me as a teenager: a Latchkey kid who goes home on her own at the end of the school day. During that time, she works on her science and tends to get in trouble thanks to her work. She has a tendency to blow things up and break things. She currently focuses on teleportation and faster-than-light travel."

Priya Aggarwal
"Priya, a second-generation Indian American, lives in Queens, specifically Jackson Heights. She specializes in biology, and botany in particular. But she keeps her intelligence largely hidden because she just wants to be a regular kid, and do normal, popular kid stuff. Priya shows reluctance when it comes to joining the group, and Nadia has to persuade her. But we'll see her come into her own."
