Bentley "Wizzard" Wittman



Dr. Bentley Wittman grew up possessing near-superhuman levels of genius and, as an adult, became an inventor of great renown, selling his futuristic inventions to the wealthy and becoming quite rich. He also gained fame from his great intellect which he used to become a chess champion and renowned escape artists. He became known as "The Wizard" by legally assuming this stage name and using his advanced scientific inventions to perform feats of "magic." [6] At some point in his career, the Wizard married a woman named Salamandra. He did not love the woman and only sought to reproduce with her in the hopes of creating super-powered offspring. When Salamndra refused to get pregnant, Bentley forcibly confined her and impregnated her through artificial insemination. After forcing Salamandra to bring the baby to term, the Wizard abandoned her and their newborn daughter Cole, because he believed that the child would not yield any super-human abilities.
