Elihas Starr

Elihas Starr was a S.H.I.E.L.D. scientist who had worked with Hank Pym and Bill Foster on quantum research until Pym had him fired and discredited. Starr moved to Argentina with his wife Catherine and their daughter Ava, continuing with his research until he and his wife were accidentally killed during a quantum experiment that caused Ava's unstable state.
==Biography==
===Early Life===
====S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent====
When Starr was an adult, he joined S.H.I.E.L.D. and married Catherine. The two then had a daughter, Ava.
===Quantum Research===
====Fired by Hank Pym====
During his time as an agent, Starr worked with Hank Pym and Bill Foster to harness the powers of the Quantum Realm. He wanted more and plotted to steal Pym's plans to work on the Quantum Realm. However, Pym found out and fired and discredited him, forcing Starr and his family to go into hiding and moved to Buenos Aires, Argentina.
====Confronted by Ant-Man and the Wasp====
Sometime later, Starr managed to recreate Pym's Quantum Realm plans. While working, he was tracked down by Pym and his wife, Janet van Dyne. Fleeing them, he ran to his facility and ordered his guards to take care of them. He then went to see about his device. Unfortunately, Starr was clearly not as smart or patient as Pym, as the device overloaded and threatened to explode. Starr ordered Catherine and Ava to flee, but Ava decided to stay with her father, as she did not want him to be alone. Catherine came back to grab her, but it was too late. Starr and Catherine perished in the explosion.
===Legacy===
====Ava's Instability====
Starr's research would have lethal consequences on his daughter, Ava, as she had developed quantum imbalance that would not only lead her to live a hardened life as an assassin for S.H.I.E.L.D., but soon began killing her as well. Bill Foster, who was good friends with Starr and pitied him for his situation, took Ava in and became her father-figure in his absence. Although it was Starr who had inadvertently doomed her to the life she had to live, Ava bore her father no ill will and only resented Hank Pym for discrediting him. Pym himself, despite his fallout with Starr, never intended him or Ava to suffer their respective fates and felt guilt over what happened, even promising to help save Ava the right way.
