Elihas Starr's Quantum Tunnel explodes
Elihas Starr moved his wife and daughter to Buenos Aires. There he began his research of the Quantum Realm's quantum energy and built a Quantum Tunnel. He was eventually tracked down by Hank Pym and Janet van Dyne who wanted to speak to him following Pym having fired him previously.
Ava Starr is found at the ruins of the Quantum Tunnel
However, Starr returned to his facility and tasked his guards to stop Pym and van Dyne. He then rushed to the Tunnel, however, a malfunction happened and it went into overload.[1] He then told his wife and daughter to leave for their own safety. His daughter ended up running back to be with him, but was stopped by her mother, just as the Tunnel ruptured and an explosion occurred sending bursts of Quantum energy out, destroying the facility and killing Starr, his wife and the guards.
Bill Foster meeting Ava Starr
Starr's daughter survived but became inundated with quantum energy. When the local paramedics arrived, they were unable to touch her as she had become intangible from the accident. S.H.I.E.L.D. learned about the anomaly and sent Bill Foster to investigate. He found Starr's daughter at a convent and took her from it to help her.[2]
Elektra's Murders[]
During her travels, Elektra visited Buenos Aires, where she killed a pilot.[3]
Blackout Attack[]
In 2017, Buenos Aires was one of the seven cities who was hit by a blackout caused by the Watchdogs. However, the first blackout in Miami was stopped by S.H.I.E.L.D. agents, who then spread the solution worldwide, restoring power to Buenos Aires.[4]
