Ava Starr, mostly known as Ghost, is the former main antagonist-turned-anti heroine of Ant-Man and the Wasp.
After losing her parents to the Quantum Tunnel her father was working on, Ava was imbued with Quantum Energy, giving her the power of intangibility and invisibility. She was adopted by Bill Foster, and joined S.H.I.E.L.D. in hope of them finding her a cure, and worked on stealth operations for the organization. Due to suffering from quantum displacement, Ava became a cold individual, and left S.H.I.E.L.D. after learning they lied about finding her a cure, and decided to team up with Foster to find a cure by stealing Hank Pym's work.
She was portrayed by Hannah John-Kamen and RaeLynn Bratten younger.
