History

Wundarr was born on the planet Dakkam to the renegade house of Zeneg. His family, fearing political repercussions, placed Wundarr as an infant inside a rocket and sent him through space. Spending the interstellar voyage in suspended animation, Wundarr eventually came withing the gravitational influence of Earth and was bombarded by cosmic rays in Earth's outer atmosphere, endowing him with certain superhuman physical powers. Crashing to Earth, Wundarr grew to maturity within the ship, having been released from suspended animation. Eventually he was set free by the Man-Thing. Due to his lack of experience and education, and remaining unaware of his true origins, Wundarr acted emotionally and mentally delayed.

For a brief time, he was placed in the custody of the superhero known as the Thing, but Namorita "adopted" him shortly thereafter. Government agents learned of his superhuman abilities and illegal alien status, and brought him to the government energy research facility, Project: Pegasus, for study.

Wundarr's powers were used to probe the powerful object called the Cosmic Cube. In an accidental power overload, Wundarr's mind and body were overwhelmed by the Cube's energies. Consequently, Wundarr's abilities were greatly heightened but his mind was shut down, as it was not yet able to cope with the influx of new power. In communion with the sentience of the Cosmic Cube, Wundarr gained great knowledge and a sense of purpose. Emerging from his coma, he renamed himself the Aquarian and set forth to use his new powers to bring peace and enlightenment to the world. He has since helped the sentient lifeform in the Cube to metamorphose into its next state of being.

Aquarian eventually settled in Southern California, where he was regarded by several like-minded activists as a New Age guru. It was in this capacity that he encountered the protector of the universe, Quasar, who was investigating extraterrestrial life on Earth. Almost immediately, Aquarian was attacked by the alien Quantum, who revealed to Aquarian the true history of his past. Quantum fled from the encounter, and Aquarian returned to lead his followers.

During the Infinity Crusade event, a Quantum-controlled Aquarian returned under his Wundarr identity and battled the West Coast branch of the Avengers alongside the Power Platoon. After being instructed to kill the three present Avengers, he was returned to normal due to an effect set up by the Goddess that prevented people from acting against their normal will.



Powers and Abilities

Powers

Wundarr has amazing superhuman strength and endurance, and by focusing this strength while leaping, can leap fantastic distances. On first arriving at Earth, Wundarr would slowly absorb ambient energy and store it within his body. If the energy was not released through strenuous activity, such as when using his prodigious strength, the energy would be involuntarily released in a powerfully destructive and uncontrollable blast. Wundarr wore a specially-designed suit by the superhero Mr. Fantastic that negated this handicap.

After exposure to the Cosmic Cube, Wundarr's energy-absorption abilities mutated into the ability to perpetually generate a "null-field" that dampens all forms of energy, such as light, electricity, magnetism, high-frequency energies, sound, and gravity. As Aquarian, he can affect all energy within his immediate vicinity, and has learned to dampen gravity to allow him to levitate and "walk on air" at will.

Knowledge - After being in contact with the Cosmic Cube, he is left with an unimaginable knowledge which he calls "Everything and Nothing". He appears to have strong grasp on the properties of life and death, as well as peace and discourse. He is sometimes shown transmitting (through touch) this knowledge to other beings, often in order to create harmony.

Aquarian has the ability to communicate empathetically with animals, but it is against his ethics to control any creature.
