So, the guy's sitting up there in a green metal harness, and it's only when he takes off the chauffer hat that the Wasp figures out he's not her regular driver. That can mean only one of two things: either the Wasp is frightfully stupid, or she dresses her servants in some pretty bizarre get-ups. My theory was the latter. And it was confirmed (yay, me!) when I snuck into -- er, make that visited the Van Dyne compound. Here's a list of some of the other positions in and around the Wasp's mansion, along with which Marvel Comics villains their uniforms most closely resemble:
1. Butler: Doctor Doom
2. Footmen: Annihilus
3. Valet: Ultron
4. Head Housemaid: Titania
5. Maids: the Enchantress
6. Cook: Magneto
7. Pastry Chef: the High Evolutionary
8. Wine Steward: Baron Zemo
9. Gardener: Thanos
10. Poolboy: the Wendigo (either that or he had a lot of back hair)
Hmmm.... come to think of it, this would also confirm my first theory of the Wasp being frightfully stupid. I win again!
And now, for no reason whatsoever, here's Tiger Shark enduring history's most painful beer fart:

The third possibility is that she has her more..robust men servants wear sleeveless shirts to show off those big ole shoulders.
Buh-Whooom!
Although, I like the idea that the butler looks like he's going to go into long third-person tirades at the drop of a hat, too...
Do you think Paris Hilton notices what the help is wearing? Of course not and neither does Janet Van Dyne.
She's too busy imagining new outfits to shame and embarass She-Hulk

And bare midriffs (before they were brought into style, too). Who knew Janet Van Dyne had a sexual harassment suit waiting for her?
Cozmik, if all those crazy servant uniforms aren't Jan's idea, then I don't know whose they were. Hank (rotting in jail during this issue) was always occupied with inventing new gadgets and personality disorders to worry about such details. Unless... it's the only way for the help to get Jan to pay any attention to them...
Jan: Mesmero?!! Avengers asssem-- oh, it's just you, Tidwell.
Tidwell: Yes, Madame. Now, if we might speak for a moment on the matter of my leaving the mansion for half a day to attend my mother's funeral...
Jan: Darn it, would you look at that? The secret Avengers signal device built into my belt buckle is blinking like crazy!
Tidwell: But you're not wearing a belt...
Jan: No time. Gotta go!
