So, what do you think of my dude Captain Cold? Does /co/ think

I think he's had a legitimately great villain revamp from "joke in a parka." to iconic status.

The man who slows down the Flash is a cool concept and his brutal workhorse criminal persona is pretty rare among big deal supervillains which makes his stories refreshing.

Captain Cold is the main man

I have no idea why /co/ is associating him with reddit.

I just can't bring myself to liking his costume. Especially his signature glasses.

I think he's pretty damn awesome. He may be a crook but he's got his own set of morals and rules that make him (and most of the other Rogues by proxy) quite sympathetic.

That and they're just fucking entertaining.

>>88643879
B-but they protect his eyes from snow blindness from his cold gun!!

He certainly livens up Flash's rogue gallery.

Literally a meme character.

One of personal favorites, though I have to admit, I'm not a fan of what Johns has done with him lately. I just like the thief with a code thing who can pose a threat to Flash

>>88644674
Everything is a meme or a meme character. Also I'm sorry he cucked you at one point. Kind of sad considering Cold isn't that good at romance.

>>88643828
>https://www.reddit.com/r/CaptainCold/

Captain Cold is a character who gets fans through out-of-context screencaps and power level wanking. Things like the Cold vs Freeze battle aren't written as natural stories, but events to elevate Captain Cold over characters more popular than him.

>>88644674
Like clockwork. Fuck off /v/

>>88644769
Anon is in a romantic relationship with his mom but his mom is also a prostitute and Cold fucks a lot of prostitutes.

>>88644792
Like almost every DC and Marvel character at one point or another? Also that Cold vs. Freeze battle was to paint Cold as an asshole. It might actually help if you had context to those scans you were shown. For future reference.

You know all those nip "webnovels" where the Neet becomes a super wizard through "being smart" and kills the princess instead of saving her?

That's Cold. You can see why he appeals to neckbeards.

>>88644869
Not everyone has an obsession to self under as characters they like, spider-cuck.

He makes the Cold Gun in most iterations. Just steals some of the material used to make it.

>>88644869

Go fuck off back to whichever Injustice subreddit you came from.

>>88644869
He usually does have a "nothing personal" attitude. Unless he's killing someone. It's personal if he's killing someone.

>>88644869
The Rogues get personal all the time though.

>>88644869
Most people.just stumble onto their powers and gadgets in superhero comics. Naturally you hate it during the few times someone proactively seeks it instead of waiting for it.

Happy holidays!

Good thread.

>>88643708
for you

>>88643708
I've liked Captain Cold since the beginning and while I get why he's got backlash from his new boost, I think he's earned it.

Why does DC love ice so much?

>>88645856
I'm right there with you.

>>88645856
He's definitely earned the backlash.

>>88644792
Exactly. Sadly Johns has too much power and can't write villians since zoom, everyone is a Fucking anti-hero

>>88645939
It's cool.

>>88646186
I blame Forever Evil and Justice League. It's because of that we also removed Cold from Flash on the DC CW shows and put him on Legends. I just want to Cold to be Flash rogue robbing banks. Is that too much to ask?

>>88645856
>>88646186
Who deserves the backlash for being pushed into everything more: Harley Quinn or Captain Cold?

>>88646695
Captain Cuck. Harley was at least genuinely well liked; she just got ruined when she got pushed so now it's popular to say you always hated her. Captain Cold has been a non-entity at best and a Mister Freeze ripoff at worst for the better part of 20 years, but suddenly Johns wants him on the Justice League and gives him powers to make him a low-rent Icicle Jr

Nah cold was good when he was just the dedicated leader of criminals who wasn't that much of an ass.Then the new 52 came and made him "muh Lisa" gave him I've powers and put him in books he had no business being in for the sake of making him look cool.

>>88646766
First of all, Cold was created before Freeze (or should I use his original name: Mr. Zero). Secondly, Johns didn't give Cold powers. He hated the idea so much that he gave him back the Cold Gun in Forever Evil. Mr. Zero was even more of a non-entity than Cold ever was until Paul Dini came along.

The fuck is with all the Captain Cold backlash these days?

>>88647500
spotted the redditor

>>88646695
Harley. She is fucking EVERYWHERE because Joker and Batman are names practically everyone knows. Flash gets a slight bump in popularity because of some cringeworthy teen soap opera and now everyone is losing their shit.

He's forced constantly by Johns and /tv/ fags.

>>88647539
That really answers my question. I don't even go to reddit, dumbass.

>>88647555
Okay. That just proves that Captain Cold was created before Freeze. Obviously he's not the first ice/cold themed villain.

>>88647500
People are annoyed because he's popular. Nothing new.

>>88647607
...by three months. In comics time that means they came out almost simultaneously, since they were probably being created at the exact same time. Like the X-men and Doom Patrol, or Swamp Thing and Man-Thing.

And since both were proceeded by other ice villains, it also shows that neither is a ripoff of the tower, since BOTH are ripoffs of Icicle.

>>88647770
I'll agree with you there. It was just this anon:

>>88646766

used that stupid comparison.

>>88643708
I sure do.

>>88643869
One of the best issues of the Johns run.

>>88644869
He does sort of seem like a "What I would do if I entered into the DCU" kind of self insert characters.

Immediately go steal some wonder weapon and then try to be some kind of badass while avoiding superhero attention, then wearing a trench coat all the time.

I actually don't know about that. What the fuck are you doing with your free time?

Do you think the backlash will get better or worse after the Flash movie?

Even if we could actually prove that Captain Cold only exists as some kind of self insert character, that doesn't change the fact that self insert does not mean bad.

I understand why people are wary of self insert characters given that they're like an autistic plague among fanfic writers and DeviantAuts, but the reason we hate those is because they have no depth beyond being the best at everything so that the creator can jerk off.

Captain Cold is not that, he's a permanent fuck up with emotional baggage who can't hold his life or even his gang together, but he does have a few things he believes in, his own skewed set of morals and he's not a heartless monster of psychopath. He's archetypal, yes, but that doesn't mean bad.
