Barry AllenHistory
Convicted burglar Mark Mardon was being escorted by train under guard to Tri-state Prison, when he jumped from the moving train and headed for the home of his brother Clyde, who lived on an island in Big Water Lake. Entering his brother's lab, Mardon would later claim he found Clyde dead of a heart attack. In Rogue's Revenge it is revealed that he became panicked and killed his brother using the already constructed weather wand. In all previous story arcs, Mardon claimed that near his brother's hand he found a notebook containing details of experiments in controlling the weather. Clyde had intended to use these discoveries in order to help humanity, and was about to announce his findings publicly when he died.
His wand
As the Weather Wizard, Mardon set out on a revenge mission against the three police officers who had arrested him. He suceeded in getting the first two men, but was prevented by the Flash (Barry Allen) in his attempts to get the third.
The Weather Wizard later created a weather control station and used frigid weather to cut Oakley County, Wyoming, off from the rest of the country. His next plan was to build a gigantic weather control station from which he could take over the whole country. His plans were foiled by Wally West (Kid Flash) and the Elongated Man. Since then, Weather Wizard has battled Batman, but his most regular opponent was Barry (Flash). On occasions he teamed up with other members of the Rogues Gallery to overcome Barry but without success.
Modern Age
Vs the Flash
Later he is approached by Inertia to team-up against the Flash (Bart Allen), Inertia removes some mental blocks so Mardon no longer needs the wand. In the heat of combat, the Rogues kill Bart. Weather Wizard, along with the other Rogues, are shocked and horrified to discover that they had killed a kid. Weather Wizard and Heat Wave are captured by Captain Boomerang II, and exiled with their fellow Rogues to "hell" planet, Salvation. On the planet he sides with Luthor. He returns to Earth with the other villains.
After the return to Earth he is seen attending Libra's meeting and (off-panel) rejecting Libra's offer of fullfiled dreams. He and the other rogues prepare to close shop until they hear that Inertia has returned. They agree to kill Inertia for their current troubles. Soon they find Paul Gambi seriously injured by a set of Libra's men calling themselves the "new" Rogues. He battles and easily defeats his counterpart Weather Witch, and saves Trickster II by killing Mr. Magic, creating a tornado in his stomach. He goes with the Rogues to the remains of his brother's observatory, where the Rogues track Zoom and Inertia. As they arrive at the scene, Libra reveals that he has captured Weather Wizard's son, Josh, and threatens to kill him if Weather Wizard does not join him. Weather Wizard claims that since he killed his brother, the only person who cared for him, he would have no trouble letting the child die. However, before anyone can act, or confirm if Weather Wizard is bluffing, Inertia kills the child. This ends the standoff between Weather Wizard and Libra. Inertia then reverts Zoom to his paraplegic state by partially reversing Zoom's timeline, as well as severely injuring Libra. Weather Wizard and the other Rogues then kill Inertia, and leave a note for Wally claiming that they are now even.
