| The man who would be the Wizard grew up possessing near-superhuman levels of genius, and as an adult, became an inventor of great renown, selling his inventions to the wealthy and becoming quite rich. He became known as the Wizard by taking this stage name, using his advanced scientific inventions to perform feats of "magic." |
| Intellectually bored, however, he decided to defeat Johnny Storm, who had just appeared to the world as the Human Torch. Pretending to be a victim, he was rescued by the Torch and invited him to his hi-tech, futuristic mansion where he captured the Torch with ease. The Wizard then impersonated the Torch, going on a crime spree to destroy his reputation before being captured himself by the Fantastic Four and sent to prison. |
| Since then, the Wizard has set his sights on revenge against the Torch and the FF, at times forming and leading the Frightful Four. |
