Weather Wizard (Mark Mardon) is a fictional DC Comics supervillain, normally portrayed as an enemy of The Flash. The Weather Wizard first appeared in Flash #110 (December 1959-January 1960).

Escaping a prison transport by leaping from the window, Mark Mardon fled to his brother's house only to find him dead. Mardon's brother, Clyde, a scientist, had just discovered a way to control the weather before dying of a heart attack (although recent evidence implies that Mardon murdered his brother and either lied about or blocked out the memory of finding his body[1]). Mardon took Clyde's notes and used them to make a wand to generate weather and embarked on a criminal career as The Weather Wizard, sometimes using his powers on a small scale (such as zapping someone with lightning) and sometimes a larger scale (imprisoning a town in winter), almost always facing defeat by The Flash (Barry Allen). In his first appearance he tried to get revenge on the policemen who imprisoned him, allowing the Flash to predict his target and defeat him.

Mardon, like many of the Flash's foes, was a member of the Rogues.
