(as Wundarr) Fear #17 (Oct 1973)
Wundarr the Aquarian is a Marvel Comics character created by Steve Gerber and Val Mayerik in Adventure into Fear #17. His first appearance is thought of as a parody of the origin of Superman.
Wundarr first appeared in Adventure into Fear #17 (October 1973), written by Steve Gerber. Before long he became a frequent supporting character in Marvel Two-in-One, appearing in #2-4 (March, May, July 1974), and #8 (March 1975) by Steve Gerber, and issue #9 (May 1975) by Steve Gerber and Chris Claremont), and making a guest appearance in Ms. Marvel (Vol. 1) #15 (March 1978) (also written by Chris Claremont). After Gerber's run on Marvel-Two-in-One, Wundarr mostly disappeared until the Project Pegasus saga (written by Mark Gruenwald and Ralph Macchio), in which he became "The Aquarian." His later appearances in Marvel Two-in-One were in issues #42 (August 1978), #53 (August 1979), #55-58 (September–December 1979), #64 (June 1980) #69 (November 1980) (all written by Ralph Macchio and Mark Gruenwald), and issue #74 (April 1981) (by Mark Gruenwald).
After Marvel Two-in-One, the Aquarian appeared in Captain America Annual #7 (1983) (Peter Gillis), Quasar #4 (December 1989) (Mark Gruenwald), Marvel Comics Presents #46 (March 1990) (Fabian Nicieza), Quasar #28 (November 1991) and #50 (September 1993) (Mark Gruenwald), What If (vol. 2) #25: (May 1991) "What If The Marvel Super Heroes Had Lost Atlantis Attacks" (written and illustrated by Jim Valentino), *Avengers West Coast #97 (August 1993) (by Roy Thomas), and Spider-Man Team-Up #6 (March 1997) (by Larry Hama). Some time later, he appeared in The Thing (vol. 2) #8 (August 2006) and World War Hulk: Front Line #4 (November 2007). He appeared again in Marvel Zombies 3 #1 (December 2008).
