While chemist Duncan Groat was experimenting with chemicals to create a catalyst that would make solid water at room temperature, there was a chemical explosion. In the aftermath, a sentient creature made of water called Mr. Aqua was created. Mr. Aqua not only spoke English, but was also self-aware. He accompanied his creator Groat to a science convention, but no other scientist believed his claims. Mr. Aqua took this personally and drowned the Science Council President. Plastic Man tried to stop Mr. Aqua, but the creature escaped through a sewer grate. He later re-appeared and offered Groat a chance to be his partner in crime, but when the doctor refused, Mr. Aqua tried to kill his maker. Plastic Man and Woozy Winks saved the chemist. Mr. Aqua was vanquished by Woozy when he accidentally drank the creature. Mr. Aqua was a shapeshifter with a body made of water, and possessed all the qualities of water. He absorbed blunt attacks without injury, and was capable of reconstituting himself. His biggest weaknesses were extreme cold and heat, as they would cause him to become ice or steam.
