History: (Green Lantern I #26) - Dr. Aqua spent years at university studying science, believing that if he understood the secrets of the natural world he could use them to his own ends. He assembled a criminal crew, and planned to cause floods across the country so his men could raid the deluged cities. During a rainy season he blew up Coreville's levee, and the city's water tunnel. Green Lantern and his sidekick Doiby Dickles responded, and GL used his power ring to plug up the water tunnel. Dr. Aqua was angered by the interference, but still went through with his plans to have his men don diving suits and rob the flooded banks, museums, and wealthy houses of Coreville. GL defeated Dr. Aqua, who was taken to an island prison, and he now couldn't stand the sight of water after being foiled by GL.
