After going through a rough patch with his wife Janet van Dyne (the Wasp) while they were both taking time away from the Avengers, Hank Pym was replaced by a shapeshifting alien Skrull. The Wasp died in the final battle against the Skrulls and Hank returned to discover his chance at reconciliation had been lost.
Now, Hank doesn't just plan to honour the history of the Avengers, he intends honouring his wife's legacy the only way he knows how...

[LOKI READING ORDER: Mistress of Mischief (2008-2010)]
Hank Pym has learned his wife, the Wasp, died during the final battle with the Skrulls. On the way to her funeral, Ms Marvel tells Hank everything he's missed. At the service, Hank publicly blames Tony Stark. Outside, Norman Osborn warns Ronin and the rest of the Avengers that they have 24 hours to register or they'll face consequences.
Avengers: The Initiative #20
The Initiative is falling apart. Those who were replaced by Skrull impostors receive counselling, but Hank Pym has started having deep conversations with Jocasta (a robot built by Ultron with the Wasp's brainwaves) as his own form of therapy. Realising he has no place with the Initiative, Hank heads off with Jocasta to start a new life. Elsewhere, Ryder and 3-D Man leave to hunt any remaining Skrulls. Gauntlet takes charge of the Initiative. Tigra realises she's pregnant with Skrull Hank Pym's baby. Ant-Man joins the Thunderbolts. The Shadow Initiative and are assigned to hunt down Hardball. And the Thor clone known as 'Ragnarok' activates...
Jocasta's uploaded 'Janet van Dyne' persona comes further to the fore, bringing out feelings for Hank Pym. Hank repeats the experiment that gave the Wasp her powers on himself, allowing him to take on a new identity as the Wasp in her honour...
Mighty Avengers #21
Inexplicable disasters erupt across the face of the Earth, killing or incapacitating super-teams everywhere. Edwin Jarvis and the Scarlet Witch separately gather Avengers teams who quickly come together as one. Wasp (Hank Pym), Jocasta, Hercules, Amadeus Cho, Hulk, Stature, USAgent and Vision assemble! Beneath Wundagore Mountain, Modred the Mystic has summoned the demon Chthon who has claimed Quicksilver as his host body...
In-fighting breaks out among the Avengers over the Scarlet Witch's reappearance and the presence of unregistered heroes. Iron Man's arrival doesn't help. Chthon/Quicksilver gets to work destroying the world, leaving Modred to look after the Darkhold - the magical book that allowed him to summon the demon. While the Hulk's busy beating Iron Man over their recent issues (during WORLD WAR HULK), Wasp leads his new team into the Darque Hold under Wundagore. Iron Man arrives with an unconscious Bruce Banner and repulsor-blasts Modred, unaware that the real Quicksilver is trapped in the pages of the Darkhold...
Mighty Avengers #23
Iron Man takes command of the freshly-formed Avengers, putting Hank Pym down, abandoning those he has no use for and attempting to blow up Wundagore Mountain. Pym rallies the remaining Avengers to stop them setting off the uranium beneath the mountain and blowing Transia sky high! Utilising everyone's abilities in unison, Wasp pulls Chthon out of Quicksilver and into Modred, then draws them into the Darkhold and undoing all the death and destruction they'd caused. Iron Man and Hulk move on, but Wasp suggests the others remain together as a team of Mighty Avengers, immediately gaining public support. Quicksilver decides to join when he realises his sister, the Scarlet Witch, helped form the group. But this 'Scarlet Witch' is really Loki in disguise.
