- "I doubt Hank ever mentioned my father; why would he? Elihas Starr. They were colleagues at S.H.I.E.L.D., quantum research. Until my father dared to disagree with The Great Hank Pym. You had him fired, oh, and discredited for good measure."
- ―Ava Starr[src]

Biography
Quantum Research
Confronted by Ant-Man and the Wasp
Elihas Starr was the partner to Hank Pym and Bill Foster who together worked on harnessing the powers of the Quantum Realm. Starr was a complicated person, as while he cared for his wife, Catherine, and daughter, Ava, 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.
Sometime later, Starr managed to recreate Pym's Quantum Realm plans. Unfortunately, Starr was clearly not as smart or patient as him, 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, while Ava miraculously survived, albeit with powers.[1]
