The Weather Wizard owns a wand that lets him control/generate weather, and is one of Flash's major villains (or "rogues"). Of course, he could make a fortune legitimately (between droughts, climate change, etc.), but using advanced, world-altering tech to rob banks and engage in repeated fights against some guy in spandex is clearly a much better use. 😉
Ragnell the Mildly Unpleasant@dtgeek Did he invent the wand, or did he steal it?
@ragnell his original origin states he was a petty crook who, while escaping prison, found his brother's lab (his brother had just died). Said brother was working on weather control tech, which Mark used to turn into his weather wand.
Apparently some modern story (Final Crisis?) states Mark might've murdered his brother?
Either way, yes, Mark was a criminal in the first place...
@dtgeek And if the tech is stolen, he can't profit from it legitimately.
But if he inherited it from his brother, then yeah, he could've.
@ragnell from what I can tell, unclear if his brother left the stuff to him in his will or not. Or if there were any patents, etc.
