The MCU will likely never show the full power of the founding Avenger known as the Wasp. In The Ultimates 2, it's revealed that Janet van Dyne's 'wasp stings' scale with her body, becoming brutally lethal at full size.
While the MCU rarely hesitates to show off the Avengers' powers, a founding member's abilities have an extreme upper limit that is unlikely to ever appear on-screen. This is because while their energy blasts may pack a punch in their traditional form, they have gruesome consequences when fully unleashaed.
Since its inception, the Marvel Cinematic Universe has taken much inspiration from the Ultimate universe, a popular reimagining of the Marvel Universe that sought to modernize its most iconic stories without relying on decades of comic history. As in the mainstream comics, Janet van Dyne, aka the Wasp, was a founding member of the Ultimates - this world's version of the Avengers.
In the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Janet van Dyne was the original Wasp, with her daughter Hope taking over the mantle while her mother was stranded in the Quantum Realm. Either version of the Wasp gains their powers from their costume which includes the flight, shrinking, and stinger blasts, while the Ultimate Wasps’ powers are due to her being a mutant.
The Ultimate Universe consistently found creative ways for the Wasp to unleash her powers, but in this case, the results were too horrific to make it into the MCU. So far, the Wasp is one of the heroes who has suffered most from the movie adaptations, stripped of her founding Avenger status and relegated to a tragic exile for most of her on-screen existence.
