The Wizard is a fictional DC Comics Golden Age supervillain.

Born approximately 1913, William I. Zard grew up living a life of crime. As a gun man for various crime bosses, he ultimately ended up in jail. With the passage of time, he formulated a strategy to become a specialized kingpin. In order to accomplish this task, he moved to Tibet and trained under a proficient lama in the mystic arts of illusion and deception. Upon completion of his training, he proceeded to slay his master. Returning to the United States, he embarked on a career as a criminal magician.

Believing that the Justice Society of America was merely a cover for a criminal organization, he attempted several criminal acts which were thwarted one by one by members of the Society. Realizing his mistaken misconception, he jumped into a vat of acid. The vat was an illusion he had created, and he next set out to organize the world's first supervillain organization, The Injustice Society of the World.

The Wizard helped to form the Injustice Society with Per Degaton, Vandal Savage, the Thinker, the Gambler, and Brainwave. Each member proceeded to steal some key item from the U.S. government, and collectively they were outmaneuvered by their heroic counterparts. The Wizard's escape was circumvented by some junior fans of the J.S.A.
