Thomas Foster followed in the footsteps of his uncle Bill Foster by becoming a well learned scholar while maintaining an athletic scholarship at MIT. When Tom replicated the work that his uncle and Hank had done at SHIELD for Project Goliath, he had developed a serum that would allow the user to grow to immense heights without experiencing overwhelming exhaustion after prolonged exposure.

Pilai is a Kosmosian insect who made contact with Dr. Vernon Van Dyne through the use of Dr. Janos Trovaya's EMP Communication Device. Pilai shared his knowledge with Van Dyne who in turn retrofitted everything he learned to the available scientific methods of his time. Pilai then convinced Van Dyne to create a quantum tunnel that would allow Pilai to enter Earth. Unfortunately, Van Dyne was arrested by the East German Stasi before he could finish. Pilai eventually escapes the Quantum Realm when he hitches a ride on Pym's specialized vehicle when Hank rescues Janet. Before half of Earth's population was snapped out of existence, Pilai managed to infiltrate Kurt's mind and Kurt became Pilai's reluctant host as Pilai made preparations to conquer Earth.

In 1968, Van Dyne made a contact in the West (Hank Pym) who agreed to deliver letters to his family in exchange for information. Van Dyne was communicating with a being that gave Vernon detailed notes on how to utilize quantum energy with the technology that was available to him at that time. With this knowledge, Vernon was asked to develop a miniature version of the Quantum Tunnel which allowed his alien benefactor to come to Earth but the completion of the tunnel was interrupted when the East German Stasi arrested Vernon and executed him.
