Wasp, e.g., in Marvel Comics (7)

I believe the answer is:

avenger

(Other definitions for avenger that I've seen before include "One who exacts reparation for a wrong" , "Inflicter of retribution" , "One carries out retribution" , "Mrs Peel?" , "One settles score" .)

I've seen this clue in The Washington Post.
