12 Marvel Characters You Didn't Notice Are Already In The MCU

12. Egghead - Ant-Man And The Wasp

In Ant-Man and the Wasp, the diminutive duo face off against a master thief called Ava Starr. Due to her unstable molecules, Ava has the ability to phase through solid matter, which has left her with the moniker, The Ghost.

Ava reveals to Scott Lang and Hope Van Dyne how her body has been left in a molecular flux after she was exposed to quantum energy. In a flashback, we see this quantum explosion killed her father, Elihas, who worked at Hank Pym's facility.

The name, Elihas Starr, may not ring a bell to most, but many comic readers should recognise his less than flattering soubriquet - Egghead. Egghead is one of Ant-Man's earliest villains, debuting only three months after Pym officially became a superhero. Because they have been at each other's throats for half a century, it was nice to find some way to implement the egomaniacal scientist into the film.

At least, it would've been nice if Marvel fans recognised him! Due to his regularly shaped bonce and the utter lack of egg puns, many viewers didn't notice this cameo.
