December 25th - Wundarr The Aquarian

The hero known as Wundarr heralds from an extra terrestrial world populated by human-like beings.  When he was an infant, Wundarr’s parents became convinced their planet was on the verge of an ecological cataclysm.  Wishing to save their son, they placed him in suspended animation and launched him in a rocket to traverse the galaxy in search of a safe haven.  The ship ultimately came to earth yet passed through a cloud of cosmic radiation before landing. This radiation bestowed Wundarr super strength and resiliency.

Wundarr grew to maturity within the ship and was eventually set free by the creature known as The Man-Thing.  Due to his lack of experience and education, and remaining unaware of his true origins, Wundarr acted emotionally and mentally delayed.  At the same time, Wundarr demonstrated a highly matured sense of kindness and wisdom.  His gentle, childlike purity endeared him to those around him.

Following adventures alongside The Thing and Namor The Sub-Mariner, Wundarr ended up in the custody of the governmental agency called Project PEGASUS.  There his powers were used to aide the scientists at PEGASUS to probe 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 life-form in the Cube to metamorphose into its next state of being.
