History
Rita DeMara, hoping to show off her talent of engineering, stole a copy of the Yellowjacket costume from the Avengers Mansion through remote control. She clashed with the Wasp who caught Rita modifying the Yellowjacket costume for herself, and the Wasp defeated her easily when Rita collapsed in hysteria the first time she tried shrinking, overwhelmed by the experience. Later, DeMara was freed by members of the Masters of Evil and they all participated in a successful takeover of the Mansion. When the Masters were finally caught, Yellowjacket was sent back to prison.
