History:

Place of birth: Cresskill, New Jersey
Marital status: single
Known relatives: Vernon (father), Alicia (mother)

Janet is the daughter of world-renowned scientist Vernon Van Dyne who is involved in ground-breaking work using gamma-radiation beams to detect life on other planets. A couple of years ago, Vernon contacted Dr. Henry Pym for help in his work. Pym declined, since his own work was consuming most of his time.

Janet was attracted to the moody, intense Pym, who in turn was struck by Janet's resemblance to his late wife, Maria. Shortly, the pair became an "item" for the gossip-mongers in the tabloid press of New York. The affair seemed to be going well enough until Janet was introduced to one of Pym's financial backers, one Simon Williams.

Williams, co-head of Williams Electronics, was an unabashed racist, not at all shy about voicing his opinions about Blacks and Jews while singing the praises of Nazi Germany. Janet, whose grandfather had died fighting the Nazis as a partisan in Eastern Europe, confronted Pym about his friendship with Williams.

It was at this time that Pym revealed his sympathies with Williams's political cause. Disgusted, Janet ended her relationship with Pym.
