(Anonymous) 2012-05-17 11:26 pm (UTC)(link)Also, it's Ms Marvel. She was added AFTER Black Widow, actually. They probably haven't included her for a variety of reasons. First, there might be some technical issues with whether or not she's a mutant. She's not really, but she is a "mutate" and that might be tangled legal garbage. Second, her powers are very similar to more classically DC characters, like Superman. The whole Flying Brick thing. So it would have to work off her backstory to be interesting.
And then, her backstory is more intrinsically tied to *other* characters. She doesn't have a unique origin. She was the distaff counterpart to Mar-Vell. Then there was that whole rape saga which can't really be addressed. And then the most significant thing she did afterwards was get her powers absorbed by Rogue. And everything that happened with her after that was a direct effect of that.
Much of her character is a reaction to others, and a lot of it is about resentment.
The character you're looking for is The Wasp. But I imagine she will probably be introduced if they ever make a Giant-Man movie. Usually The Wasp is only secondary to him. I see why they picked Black Widow.

And re: Wasp, even if they had been technically able to include her and Ant/Giant-Man/whateverthefuckHankgoesbythistime, which they weren't, I can see why they would make the choice not to and applaud it. One of the things I loved most about Black Widow's portrayal is that she wasn't the kind of character who flirts with every guy or is flirted with by them and whose storyline revolves a lot around her romantic attachments. And as much as I do absolutely adore Jan and she is one of my favorite Marvel characters.. she would have been that character, because such large parts of her storylines and such are her romantic relationships.
They really chose the right character.
