365 Marvel Comics Paper Cut-Out SuperHeroes - One Hero, Every Day, All Year…
December 15th - Stinger
As a young child, Cassandra ‘Cassie’ Lang suffered from a rare, congenital heart defect. In order to save her life her father, Scott, stole Hank Pym's Ant-Man equipment, which he uses to rescue the acclaimed surgeon, Erica Sondheim. In turn, Dr. Sondheim performed a successful surgery that enabled Cassie to make a full recovery.
As Cassie became older she wanted to become a hero just like her father. She secretly exposed herself to the size-altering ‘Pym Particles’ in the hopes that it might bestow her super powers. Some years later, Cassie’s father was killed in action as a member of The Avengers.
Cassie went to live with her mother and step-father and not long thereafter, learned about the group of teen heroes calling themselves The Young Avengers. Cassie sought out Kate Bishop and the pair tracked down the Young Avengers, petitioning them to allow the two young women to join their ranks. While arguing for her right to join this team, Cassie first demonstrated her ability to grow four times in size (a power gained by way of her past exposure to Pam Particles).
Now going by the alias of ‘Statue’ Cassie became a member of the Young Avengers and fought at their side against Kang the Conquerer. Statue later briefly joined the ranks of Pym’s Mighty Avengers team before reuniting with the Young Avengers for the Children’s Crusade event. During this adventure, Cassie convinced The Scarlet Witch to use her chaos powers to pluck her father out of the time-stream in the instant before his death and bring him to the present, effectively resurrecting her dad. Sadly, Cassie soon thereafter perished in battle against Dr. Doom.
Doom would later use his own machinations to bring Cassie back finally allowing her and her father to be reunited. Following her resurrection, Cassie retired her guise as Stature and tried just being a regular teenager. It proved a poor fit, however, and it was not long before Cassie returned to the life of super heroics. Herein she devised a new identity as ‘Stinger’ creating a costume similar to that worn by the Wasp with wings that facilitate flight while at reduced size and powerful bioelectric stingers that emit from a pair of wrist bands. As Stinger, Cassie would go on to have adventures alongside her father.
Cassie has featured in the marvel Cinematic Universe, portrayed by three actresses: Abby Ryder Fortson, Emma Fuhrmann and Kathryn Newton. The heroine first appeared in the pages of Marvel Premiere #47 (1979).
