Biography

The Lost Continent Prophecy

The Hive Queen

After Scarab confessed that Cricket's true mother was Katydid, she showed Cricket an old book and opened its front cover, revealing a hollow space that held a small portrait of Malachite. Scarab explained that Malachite formerly worked under her when she served as minister of education. After discovering that Scarab was quite fond of him, Wasp forbade him from marrying Katydid, knowing full well it would upset Scarab.

Malachite was mentioned briefly through Inchworm while he was under Wasp's mind control. When Wasp heard about Cricket's residence, she invited her to come back to see her father, but then threatened her by saying she could easily kill him as well.
