Origin

Aqueduct was a veteran in the Vietnam War, Peter was wounded and sent to paramedics on a ship who used an experimental device to keep him alive until a storm settled and they could operate. A lightning bolt strike destroyed the device but rejuvenated Peter. While convalescing, he learned he could manipulate water and cause it to assume a solid three-dimensional shape of his choosing and make it follow any directions he gave it. He took the name Water Wizard and became a petty thief using his powers to manipulate the water into creating different water beasts and robbing banks. Originally working for the Enforcer Water Wizard was sent against Ghost Rider and attempted to create various water monsters in hopes of defeating him. Ghost Rider used his hellfire which while not burning the Water Wizard's body, did burn his soul. Water Wizard fled and after recovering continued service with his employer The Enforcer. When Ghost Rider found the villains' hideout Water Wizard immediately attempted to flee but after witnessing the Enforcer's courage, he mustered up enough for himself and battled Ghost Rider. Ghost Rider eventually defeated Water Wizard with a swift punch and sent him to prison. Later employed by Justin Hammer to battle Iron Man with several other villains, Water Wizard quickly sped off in a self-created motorboat due to his cowardice.

After a criminal career as Water Wizard, he became the eco-terrorist Aqueduct and joined the Force of Nature.
