==Egghead==
:  Elihas Starr
:: Founded third Masters of Evil: Avengers 222
:: A scientific genius who turned his talents to crime, Egghead developed a bitter enmity with crimefighter Hank Pym, originally known as Ant-Man. When Pym suffered a nervous breakdown, Egghead took advantage of the situation by framing Pym for treason, and then founded a new Masters of Evil team to press Pym into Egghead's service and battle Pym's Avengers teammates when necessary. The Avengers ultimately cleared Pym's name, though, and Pym himself single-handedly defeated Egghead's Masters of Evil within their lair. Egghead tried to shoot the victorious Pym in the back but was stopped by Hawkeye, who plugged Egghead's gun with an arrow that made it backfire, killing him. While Egghead's death was accidental, there was a sort of ironic justice in it since Egghead had been responsible for the murder of Hawkeye's brother, Barney Barton, years earlier.
