Wizard

Wizard (usually shortened to Wiz) is a presenter of DEATH BATTLE! alongside Boomstick. He is an intelligent individual who provides technical information, and is much more serious than the comical Boomstick. He is portrayed by Ben Singer.

Personality
As one could tell by his name, Wiz is extremely intelligent and almost always keeps a cool head (though, there are somethings that can annoy/upset him, specifically Boomstick's vulgar traits). He also expresses anger and disgust with Doomsday's origin story involving him being killed over and over again by his creator, Bertron, for 30 straight years and even threatened to remove the latter's name from the "Hall of Mad Scientists" out of sheer spite. On the other hand, Wiz isn't exactly the most sane human being. He uses rats for genetic testing, dissected a "voluntary" Goomba to study its anatomy, and his only objection to Boomstick wanting to a build a "Baby Cannon" would be that such a weapon would require nine months (the time it takes for a pregnant woman to give birth to babies) to reload, and it's also implied that Wiz has attempted to clone Boomstick behind the latter's back (presumably to replace him) and has admitted to making a deal with the Yakuza. A fan of DEATH BATTLE! had a theory that Wiz can feel other emotions other than evil (since in the Rap Battle, Wiz confirmed that he was an evil scientist) but this theory was never confirmed even though she had a ton of evidence.

Trivia

 * In Fulgore VS Sektor, it's revealed that Wiz has a robotic arm that "suffers constant glitches", as demonstrated when he hits Boomstick.
 * In Silver Samurai's preview, it's confirmed that Boomstick apparently cut off his arm with a tachyon table saw, and the only reason that Wiz isn't mad about that is because robot arms are just superior to normal arms.
 * He considers Doctor Octopus to be an inspiration.
 * It's become a running joke that Wiz constantly finds universes with fictional metals that are somehow stronger and lighter than titanium.
 * Another running joke that coincides with this is the superhuman experiment origin story, with Wiz particularly wound up by the phrasing of the concept of "seeing faster", as demonstrated by Captain America and Deathstroke.
 * He has apparently seen a turtle penis "for science".
 * According to Boomstick, he once broke his arm falling out of a chair.

 * In the same list he also revealed that he owns a retro-aging serum and several giant mechs.
 * He is trying to create a time travel wristwatch, and he was convinced that it worked after Boomstick lied when he put him into a month-long coma after shooting him with a potato gun.
 * As shown in Ryu VS Jin, he created his own version of the Devil Gene, but it was eaten by Boomstick's dog.

 * In Captain Marvel VS Shazam, he made a gun that replicated the Tesseract Bomb, which can turn things and people inside out.
 * In Johnny Cage VS Captain Falcon, he has a metal groin as his reason was that it wasn't his first rodeo, meaning he was hit in the groin before (such as in the previews for this episode and Sub-Zero VS Glacius).
 * In Aang VS Edward Elric, Wiz was warned by Boomstick not to transmutate his guns as both were explaining the rule of Equivalent Exchange and the three principles needed to use alchemy well during the character introduction for Edward Elric.

 * In Ghost Rider VS Lobo, he swore to kill Deadpool one day.
