Egghead (Marvel Comics)
Egghead is an alias used by two supervillains appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics.
The original version (Elihas Starr) first appeared in Tales to Astonish #38 (Dec. 1962), and was created by Stan Lee, Jack Kirby and Larry Lieber.
The second version first appeared in Dark Reign: Young Avengers #1 (July 2009), and was created by Paul Cornell and Mark Brooks.
Elihas Starr was born in Queens, New York. A gifted government research atomic scientist with an egg-shaped head, Starr was dismissed for espionage and resolved to use his intellect as a criminal mastermind. He is dealt a humiliating initial defeat by Ant-Man when he creates a device to communicate with ants and tries to convince them to betray Ant-Man by leading into a flypaper trap. Ant-Man fakes having been betrayed by the ants before revealing that the ants are his friends and will not turn against him. Egghead later captures the Wasp to try luring his nemesis into a trap involving several creatures, including an iguana and an anteater, but this fails. Egghead divides time between attempted world conquest and seeking revenge on his nemesis, often hiding out in the Bowery section of Manhattan.
Egghead teams up with the Mad Thinker and the Puppet Master in a plot to use a laser satellite to blackmail the United States government. He caused the death of Barney Barton, the brother of Hawkeye, who was aiding the Avengers; hired the Swordsman to kidnap Hank Pym; and battled Clint Barton again, who had at that time recently adopted the identity of Goliath.
Egghead kidnaps his niece, Patricia "Trish" Starr, to test a device which allows him to steal other people's intelligence, and winds up battling Pym as Ant-Man again. He later causes Trish's car to explode, causing her to lose an arm.
Egghead forms the second Emissaries of Evil in an attempt to gain possession of the mystic ruby called the Star of Capistan. This team consists of himself, the Rhino, Solarr and the Cobalt Man. Egghead and the Emissaries battle the Defenders.
Egghead is still obsessed with Pym and engineers the man's disgrace. Egghead approaches Pym (who was operating as Yellowjacket at the time) with a prosthetic arm that he wishes to give to Trish to make amends for his previous deeds. After the arm is installed, Egghead informed Pym that it contains a bomb that will detonate unless Pym complies with Egghead's commands. Egghead has Pym attempt to rob a national treasury of adamantium, and Pym is caught and arrested by the Avengers. With Pym apparently out of the way, Egghead forms the third Masters of Evil as part of a plot against the Avengers.
