Ghost

Ava Starr was just a child when her parents died. Her father took too many risks after being kicked out of S.H.I.E.L.D. and discredited by Hank Pym, causing his quantum tunnel to explode. But while they were killed, Ava instead was changed to naturally use quantum energy, causing her to be able to phase through objects. She was discovered by Bill Foster, and was given stealth training by S.H.I.E.L.D., turning her into a superpowered operative under the false pretense that they would eventually cure her. However, her using quantum energy caused her to slowly die, requiring her to spend time either in her suit or a specially made chamber to help control her powers and (supposedly) reduce the pain, though it eventually got to the point where they barely helped anymore. As such, she changed her attention to Janet van Dyne, who had been trapped in the Quantum Realm for decades, planning to harvest quantum energy from her, killing Janet but saving Ava. She failed in this, but was still ultimately cured by Janet, freeing her of her powers.
