Biography

A veteran in the Vietnam War, Peter van Zante was wounded and sent to paramedics on a ship. There was a strong storm which eventually destroyed the ship and rejuvenated Peter. He took the name Water Wizard and became a petty theft, using his powers to manipulate the water into creating different water beasts and robbing banks. Originally working for the Mole, 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 severely burned Water Wizard while also striking fear into his heart. Water Wizard fled, but 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.

Much later, in Chicago, the Water Wizard ambushed Ghost Rider, but his confidence was shattered when Ghost Rider easily disposed of him. Contemplating his standings as a super villain, Water Wizard met Moondark, a powerful magician, who promised to give him enough power to defeat Ghost Rider. Failing to follow Moondark's orders, Water Wizard immediately attacked Ghost Rider with a water monster, but it was destroyed and Water Wizard ran away. After being scolded by Moondark, Water Wizard yet again attacked Ghost Rider, this time with a water octopus creature. He was able to overpower the hero which allowed Moondark to strike. But, both of the villains ended up screaming in pain as Ghost Rider blasted them with hellfire. Ghost Rider later broke Water Wizard out of a mental hospital so he could refill the water of a barren town. Water Wizard agreed to, but caught Ghost Rider off guard and attacked.
