Concept and creation
Characterization
Ava Starr (portrayed by Hannah John-Kamen), a reimagining of the comic book character Ghost, is a woman with invisibility and intangibility powers.[1][2][3] In her childhood, Ava was caught in an accident in her father's laboratory. The ensuing explosion killed both of her parents, while Ava gained the ability to become intangible since her body was left in a constant state of "molecular disequilibrium". She is recruited by scientist Bill Foster into S.H.I.E.L.D., where she is trained and given a containment suit to better control her powers. Ava agrees to work for the organization as an assassin and spy under the codename Ghost in exchange for S.H.I.E.L.D.'s help in finding a way to stabilize her condition. However, she discovers that S.H.I.E.L.D. (having been taken over by Hydra) has no intention of helping her and subsequently goes rogue to find a way to cure herself with Foster's help. The two later plan to harness the energy that Janet van Dyne's body absorbed from the Quantum Realm, putting Ghost in direct conflict with Hank Pym, Hope van Dyne, and Scott Lang. Ultimately, Janet willingly uses some of her energy to partially stabilize Ava's condition, and she departs with Foster as Janet's group vows to collect more energy for her.
