10 Deadliest Enemies The Flash Ever Faced

10. Weather Wizard

This meteorological madman was a menace to both the Barry Allen and Wally West's Flash, and one of the most overpowered super-criminals they ever faced.

First appearing in 1959's The Flash #110, criminal Mark Mardon armed himself with the 'Weather Wand', an advanced piece of technology which could control 'eolic energy'. Mardon took the Wand from his deceased brother, a scientist, who never intended for it to leave the lab. With some modifications, it became a deadly weapon for the criminal.

At full power, the Wand could summon lightning storms, rain clouds, or change the weather entirely. Whatever the weather, Mardon could use his mighty powers to rob banks and cause mass panic.

A later reimagining of the Weather Wizard would see him instead granted the metahuman ability to control the elements without using the Wand.

Other villains have also possessed the Weather Wand over the years, including a Weather Warlock and a Weather Witch, but whoever fills the shoes of this rogue becomes an instantly formidable threat for the Fastest Man Alive.

The Weather Wizard also appeared in CW's The Flash TV Show as one of the many metahumans created by the lightning strike which also gave Barry Allen his powers.
