Yellowjacket is a persona adopted by several characters in Marvel Comics, most notably Dr. Henry "Hank" Pym.

Hank Pym, a brilliant scientist, developed "Pym Particles," enabling him to alter his size. Initially known as Ant-Man, Pym later adopted the Yellowjacket identity, seeking to reinvent himself and distance himself from past mistakes. This transformation was often characterized by heightened aggression and mental instability.

As Yellowjacket, Pym sported a new costume, possessing wings and the ability to fire energy blasts. He briefly led the Avengers under this identity. However, his erratic behavior and ongoing mental health struggles made his tenure as Yellowjacket tumultuous. The mantle has been taken up by others, including Rita DeMara, a reformed criminal.

Ultimately, Yellowjacket represents a complex and flawed hero struggling with his inner demons, highlighting the often blurred lines between genius and madness.
