Powers
Both Yellowjackets displayed the power to shrink to the size of an insect, fly at high speeds, and fire bioelectric "stinger" blasts. Bioelectromagnetism (sometimes equated with bioelectricity) refers to the static voltage of biological cells and to the electric currents that flow in living tissues, such as nerves and muscles, as a result of action potentials. ...
DeMara’s original Yellowjacket costume was identical to the version worn by Hank Pym, which gave her similar powers-- the ability to shrink to insect size via mass-displacement, to fly, to fire a "disrupter blast" energy attack, and, presumably, to communicate with insects.
Yellowjacket was freed again, this time by her former teammate, the Fixer, motivated by more amorous intentions.
Yellowjacket was quickly welcomed and she became a staunch member of the team.

Although other comic publishers would capitalize on the success of existing properties with their own comic books, this practice was particularly commonplace for Charlton.
