Let's have a cool thread about people with ice powers. Villains preferably, but heroes are allowed too.
Which icy character would you most want to chill with? Who uses their powers the best? How the fuck do ice powers even work?
>>83540916
I'd like to see more old schoolgangsters with freeze guns.
>>83541471
>>83541471
id like to see more ice waifus.
>old schoolgangsters with freeze guns.
What if Joe Chill got ice powers?
Which one is the stronges ice based villain?
>>83540916
Honestly, the powers wouldn't work so well, as "cold" isn't a thing, it would be like "heat absorption" , which if high enough could non-lethally (or lethally) disable humans pretty well.
But creating ice and shit? Not so much, you need water and moisture to condense into ice.
I like cold characters and the power set, but they're one of the more "physics breaking" powers. Most of the time I can roll with it, but I remember in Alex Ross' JUSTICE comic, when Cold creates a giant glacier in some African desert, my brain went berserk, "COLD DOESN'T WORK THAT WAY, REEEEEE!"
In recent years, seeing Ice Man unleash his crazy powers and being near un-killable, I have a secret head-cannon that he is really Ymir reincarnated.
>>83540916
Ice is literally the lamest and shittiest powerand pokemon type
>>83540916
Who's ice-grundy in the pic?
>Captain Cold

>>83540916
>>83541471
Captain Cold has cold powers not ice powers
That's what makes him socool
>>83541950
>being upset at a Flash character for breaking physics
>>83542063
Ice Beam is GOAT though
>>83541950
yeah and also humans can't fly the fuck's up with that
>>83541922
Killer Frost
>>83541950
>it would be like "heat absorption" ,
that's how Killer Frost's powers work
>>83542232
>>83540916
is she allowed?
Definitely wanna chill with, going to try to melt with.
did anyone else have a thing for JLU Killer Frost?
>>83543398
Definitely. Her murderhobo personality was pretty spot on. I just didn't like the design; she looked too much like Livewire after a shower, though I liked how freaky pale she was.
>it's a Freezeforce thread
>>83543610
>I just didn't like the design
reminded me of Dragon Tattoo, which i liked
>>83544014
this
How do ice powers work? Freezeforce, bitch.
>>83541950
He was channeling the Ice Force from the Ice Dimension. It was teleported to the African desert.
Cool thread.
>>83544628
thanks famm
For the longest time I thought this guy had ice powers
Never knew he basically made a super costume that placed him roughly on the same level as pre-omega years Iceman.
>>83544738
Didn't he recently get turned Inhuman with icebased powers? If so, where did all of his cryotech go?
>>83544861
Yea they made him an Inhuman to match the Agents of Shield character.
The suit was not mentioned after that.
>>83544881
I don't really mind him getting an inhuman powerup, honestly I think it opens the door to show Gill getting used to his new powers, I mean, it's mot like his suit is on the fritz and he can recalibrate it. Furthermore all of his tech is some place and can allow for some tech using characters to get an upgrade or some new OCs to break in on the scene.
>>83542232
>>83542248
Very cool.
Anyone have that just ice league picture?
Since Wildstorm is DC now, can we get Cooler?
>>83542091

You think Minister Blizzard is pushy about his religion?
>"Before we fight, have you heard the good news about the Freezeforce?"
>>83547162
you can join the club too, as long as you bring your stone-cold fox of a doppleganger
>>83544679
So can Killer Frost not help it? She just constantly sucks heat away unconsciously?
I only knew her as a borderline bad guy with ice powers, I'm not much of a DC guy, so she was never in anything I read other than a cameo.
>>83540916
Hey guys, Am I late to the party?
>>83549090
>that episode where he becomes a weremoth because he's pregnant
>>83548998
>borderline
She's a full on multiple murderess.
>>83549197
Really? I swear the only times I've seen her is her helping out good guys.
>>83542063
>Pokemon type
True
But it's the best "elemental" power everywhere else when you don't have shit taste
>>83542063
Ice attacks are among the best. Their problem is the amount of weakness.
>>83548998
>So can Killer Frost not help it? She just constantly sucks heat away unconsciously?
Yeah. Well, kind of. She's like a well of anti-heat and sucks in the heat near her automatically, but she can actively suck in more. She's always cold and vampirizing heat is the only thing that makes her feel better. Plus she's literally crazy so she just likes killing.
>>83548998
>>83549264
There is no good in Louise at all.
Though I think in JLU she helps the good guys at the end and they let her go?

she's trying to snuff out the sun to kill everybody on the planet.
I greatly enjoy the nu52 twink Captain Cold. Also Elijah Snow from Planetary is prettycoolas well even though he controls temperature instead of ice which I suppose makes more sense.
Ice powers are usually always pretty neat.
anybody have the captain cold reindeer mug webm?
>>83549452
He can only reduce temperature though, so it kind of counts.
>>83549437
Jeez, yeah, she's a bit nuts I guess.
>>83549437
>frozen gib missiles
woah
>>83541611
>What if Joe Chill got ice powers?
kek
>>83549994
She's literally insane.
There are two Killer Frosts; the first one (Crystal) was the second one's (Louise) college friend. The second one is the one that everybody knows, since she was around for like 30 years. Louise was jealous of Crystal for being the smart one while Crystal was kind of homely. Louise would always put Crystal down, so Crystal ended up completely alone and unloved.
Then she was in an accident and became an ice vampire, and started lashing out and murdering people. Crystal was a huge man-hater and was yandere for Martin Stein (the old man half of Firestorm.) The thing about the Killer Frost powers though is that they're unstable and will always kill you eventually, so Crystal goes to Louise (who was her only friend) and tries to get her to cure her before she dies.
So after Crystal dies Louise has a huge mental breakdown and blames herself for Crystal's death, so she replicates Crystal's accident, submerges her actual personality, and pretends that she's Crystal. She's definitely got some kind of schitzophrenia.
>>83550815
Oi, yeah, this is very different from what I had in my head.
Still a very interesting character though. I think just the "I sap heat all the time" would be a power that would make life difficult and inflict some craziness.
>>83550815
Who is Caitlin Snow? Where does she come into things?
My Killer Frost knowledge is extremely lacking... in fact it's only that she has Ice Powers, is evil, is crazy, her name is(I thought) Caitlin Snow. And the CW Flash?
>>83551124
She's the New 52 version. A S.T.A.R. Labs scientist who was attacked by H.I.V.E. goons and chased into an ultraconductor where she has the same accident that afflicted Crystal Frost.
She seems marginally less psychotic than the other two to the extent she's actually trying to look for a cure.
>>83551124
Caitlin Snow is New52 Killer Frost. She's meant to be more "tragic," like Elsa. They changed her name because they have to pay royalties to the original creators every time they uses Louise Lincoln Killer Frost, so they made Caitlin so they could have a Killer Frost that they didn't have to pay for.
I hate her.
>>83551388
Don't forget that they also murdered Louise Lincoln
>>83551478
and then rubbed salt in the wound
>Dr. Snow is Dr. Lincoln's replacement
>>83544861
>>83545119
Actually his powers have nothing to do with ice, he still uses the gun and suit for that.
>>83551681
Really? Then what did he get from the mists? I figured ice powers would have been the obvious bit.
>>83549437
I hate all these villains who are completely irredeemable but never get the death penalty because plot and reasons.
>>83551989
Pretty sure Frost straight up can't be killed. They have to keep her in cold storage
>>83551744
According to the wiki minor electric powers.
>>83546988
Where's THE BLUE SNOWMAN though? Not invited?
>>83541471
>>83552206she can come too
>>83552118
For what reason...?
>>83542063
Ice attacks are god-tier because they're super effective against some types that are really common in meta game for powerful pokemon.
But Ice type pokemon themselves have shit for defense and weak to a lot of things.
Icicle is pretty low-tier as far as ice-based villains go in the DCU, but he's a pretty neat character in the JSA stories where he shows up as an antagonist.
Also he and Tigress are a thing and committed villain couples are always my OTP.
>>83552593
how
>>83554364
Because the Flashverse has always given the middle finger to science and the laws of physics.
>>83542123
>>83552593
Captain Cold is by far the best cold-themed villain.
>>83540916
This needs to be more of a thing in DC. Team Chill.
>>83555937
No argument here!
>>83557818
Killer Frost should be imprisoned in the Arctic Ocean. Where she can suck the heat out of the water and keep the ice pack growing.
>>83558872
I say we let her go. She dindu nuttin
>>83557818
I prefer the Ice Pack.
GET OUT, COLDFAGS.
REEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
>>83559132
Hey man, chill out.

isn't hat a 'cold' power?

>But creating ice and shit? Not so much, you need water and moisture to condense into ice.
This is how Iceman, Sub-Zero from Mortal Kombat, and Frozone from The Incredibles canonically work, their power involves sucking moisture out of the air to convert into ice.
>>83563071
I barely remember that show although I do recognise her. what was her story?
>>83547162
that is a picture of a nice king
>>83541950
>>83563293
Conversely, Captain Cold's gun is actually supposed to work not by making ice, but the beam reduces molecular motion until it reaches absolute zero. The ice is a side effect of all the moisture the beam also happens to come in contact with along with the person he's actually shooting.
That's what makes him capable of fighting the Flash, Cold's gun (and a belt he wears that produces the same effect but as an aura around him) isn't really for freezing stuff, it's for slowing speedsters down.
Mr. Freeze, on the other hand, just basically shoots cryogenic fluid out of a jazzed-up super soaker.
>>83563361
That's why Cold is, ahem, the coolest.
He's the most fleshed out and interesting of the cold villains plus his gun is the embodiment of YEAH SCIENCE BITCH
i'm disappointed killer frost isn't in suicide squad after how underused she was on flash
>>83563361
How fascinating. It makes Mr freezes technology sound less impressive to me. Was that always the canon explanation? What about icicle Sr & jr? I only know about them from young justice.
>>83563335
Dickish step father gets fed up with Permafrost's sick mother and bails on Christmas Eve. Her mother dies sometime later and the step father wants nothing to do with Permafrost, leaving her to child services. She runs away and becomes a hobo.
>>83563564
The Icicles create ice, they're metahumans.
Mr. Freeze is basically Heatwave from the opposite direction. Also, considering that his freeze gun doesn't follow fluid mechanics, he probably has some crazy shit going on with cryogenics. Like his gun is closer to a gauss gun that propels cryofluid in a magnetic envelope.
>>83563564
As far as I know, it's always been canon that Freeze was a cryotech guy so his gun was an ordinary "preserve stuff in ice" squirtgun, while Captain Cold designed his gun based on particle physics theories to make The Flash run slower.
Personally I don't know shit about the Icicles either except that they fight the Justice Society.
>>83563706
Icicle Senior used a gun, but Icicle Junior is a metahuman.
>>83563564
>>83563727
There's a comic I've seen posted around /co/ where Cold and Freeze fight. Cold says he'll win because Freeze's gun is applied medicine while Cold's weapon is and was always designed as a weapon first.
>>83559132
>johnny storm
at least use the real deal
>>83564985
Yeah, from Flashpoint: Citizen Cold.
1/5

3/5
>>83565176
4/5
>>83565195
5/5
>>83563293
Of course, nothing about Iceman after his snowman and early bald years makes sense if that's what his power actually is. It should be something closer to Cold's gun + a wizard.
>>83565249
Well yeah, the other thing about Iceman is that he can somehow transform his entire body into animated ice, which means he can also survive being shattered by putting himself back together from the shards or repair missing mass by getting water from somewhere else like a goddamn T-1000.
So basically he's a fucking immortal because his consciousness can theoretically inhabit a single molecule of H2O
>>83565299
Didn't he turn into vapor when a future sentinel blew him up at one point?
>>83560197
>Killer frost could live her days in his basement constantly feeling pleasure because of this hair dryer in exanche for sexual favors
>>83565332
I haven't read that story, but I'd believe it.
I did read one where he was reduced to just a decapitated head and, because he was in a Hell dimension and had no moisture to reconstitute himself, had to have somebody fucking pee on him to regain mass.
Chuck Austen, man...
>>83565426
And he still would have done a better job turning him gay with the help of a bitchy foreigner and a fag hag.
>>83565466
Imagine going back in time ten years and telling your past self "One day, the Ultimate Spider-Man guy will steal an Austen idea, and do an even worse job at it"
>>83553316
To power his tech, maybe?
>>83549452
So if captain cold agreed to be head of security for lexcorp to pull off a hiest and lex is ruler of apokalips now does that mean he's going to pull off a hiest on apokalips
>>83551454
>She's meant to be more "tragic," like Elsa.
