History
After mentioning S.H.I.E.L.D.'s list of most intelligent humans that listed women no higher than 27th, Wasp (Nadia van Dyne) was prompted to start Geniuses In action Research Labs, an enterprise to assess female scientific minds and convince S.H.I.E.L.D. that their list was outdated and in need of revision.[1]
Wasp enlisted the help of Edwin Jarvis to form G.I.R.L. In New York City, she recruited Tai and Lexi Miranda in the Washington Heights neighborhood of Manhattan. Wasp next went to the Lower East Side and spoke with Moon Girl but she was too busy to commit to the project herself.[2] Wasp recruited Shay Smith into G.I.R.L.'s ranks from Brownsville neighborhood of Brooklyn. Wasp finally met with the last name on her list, Priya Aggarwal; however, the young woman stated she was not interested.
