Who is Water Wizard?

Water Wizard is a Marvel villain with hydrokinetic abilities — the power to psionically control and manipulate water. He operates in the same circles as other elemental and weather-based threats, crossing paths with major heroes and villains alike.

Conjured into existence by the legendary Mark Gruenwald and Paul Neary in the pages of Captain America #320 in 1986, Water Wizard is a Copper Age Marvel creation with a surprisingly long shelf life — turning up across nearly four decades in titles as prominent as Captain America, Fantastic Four, and the Avengers Epic Collection. This is a character who keeps genuinely wild company, sharing pages with the likes of Doctor Doom, Whirlwind, and Morrie Bench, which tells you something about the turbulent, villain-tinged corners of the Marvel Universe he tends to haunt. Rare in the catalog but persistent across the years, Water Wizard is exactly the kind of deep-cut Marvel figure that rewards the curious collector who loves discovering what's lurking just beneath the surface of the big storylines.
