Heartfelt Clues and Backstory

Wasp’s performances were complemented by an emotional backstory shared in his clue package. He revealed that his mother had a passion for costumes and protected him from imaginary monsters during his childhood. As he matured, she faced significant challenges, and he expressed profound grief over her passing:

“As I got older… she faced her darkest battle yet. I tried everything I could to save her, but no amount of money or love could mend her broken wings. When she passed, I thought I’d never recover from the sting.”

Wasp conveyed that he often thinks about her and believes she would have been immensely proud to see him on the show, likely even trying on his costume. For her sake, he is determined to continue his journey on The Masked Singer.
