>>92408383
It's just a villain from the same planet made up for this.

(Polar Boy is the hero's name btw, not Lad)

>>92406938

I don't know but they really really need to make a team with all of them on it. Cold Warriors needs to be more of a thing. Cool name too, playing off cold war.

>>92407232

I kek'd.

>>92407944

Ever notice how black guys in fiction always have lightening powers or robot/cybernetic powers?

I think Spawn is like the only one who breaks the mold here.

>>92408531

Never heard of Polar Lord, Snow Man, Cryonic Man, or Minister Blizzard . Where are they from?

>>92409038

>>92407780

>>92409402
Minister Blizzard was an old Wonder Woman villain.

Snowman was some yeti guy that fought Batman one time.

Polar Lord was a villain of the Legion of Super heroes, I think.

>>92409402
>Cryonic Man

Cyronic Man is actually the original 90s Freeze. Sort of.

Basically, 90s Freeze is a composite character of the original Mr. Zero / Mr. Freeze with the motivation from Cryonic Man, who used cold gimmicks to get transplanted organs and equipment required to heal his dying wife.


First appeared in "Batman and the Outsiders 6".

You have to bring this team, or at least a similar team of ice villains into modern DC comics. What do you do with the story?

>>92412277
Freeze, Cold and Cryonic Man are breaking into S.T.A.R. Labs.

The pretense they told each other is that they want to rob it.

Secretly, each wants their hands on a specific piece of MacGuffin to help with Nora's/Lisa's/Melissa's condition.

As the heist works and they move through all the defenses, defeating every incoming hero and sidekick around, the three end up together at the McGuffin cure chamber and realize that all of them were after it.

A fight between the cool guys breaks out, almost destroying the whole lab in the process.

Luckily, the Flash/Superman realized why they were trying to break in and asks the S.T.A.R. Labs to give the McGuffin treatment to the girls. Flash reveals it to the team

The cool guys then agree to cooperate with the cops and give themselves in.

>>92411653
>>92411717

They need to bring this guy back though if that's the case because Wondy definitely needs a solid rogues gallery.

>>92411849

Ah that's cool. I never knew that. So the animated Freeze wasn't like the original comic one?

>>92413724
Nope. Just a typical cold-themed villain.

>>92411717
Snowmans also a wonder woman villian. Diff guy though.

>>92407780
Dr Manhattan was the only blue guy with atomic powers though. Captain Atom was created elsewhere.

>>92406938
>>92408531
Holy Crap, they was a DC Supervillain team consisting of Ice-based villains, I just wished there was more appearances of this team besides Robot Chicken https://youtu.be/Ri3h04pvbMY

>>92414321
Thing is, polar lord has no counterpart. Cryonic man been dead for years and onky been in two books.

So it's just Mr.Freeze, Captain Cold. Killer frost s a hero now.

Icicle and minister blizzard and snowman even exist anymore ?

>>92413724
Original Freeze was just a Captain Cold knock-off with a way worse costume. Aside from a brief appearance in the 60s Batman show he was virtually forgotten, hence why his appearance in limbo in Animal Man is so funny in retrospect.

>>92414549
He appeared multiple times pre crisis. Post crisis he was mostly forgotton until morrison, then people retconned in the cartoon parts later.

His early costumes was hazmat suits or armors only to become like captain cold with a mysterio helment. Which the cartoon combined all looks.

>>92409356
Black Panther, Sunspot (black Brazilian), the second(?) Invisible Kid (the one introduced during the Great Darkness Saga), Crispus Allen Spectre, Ammo (Daredevil villain from the 80s), Luke Cage, Maxam from Warlock and the Infinity Watch, Synch from Generation X, the shapeshifting girl from the Harbinger spin-off series...

There's a lot of black characters that aren't electricity or machinery based.

>>92414321
>Half the comments are asking where Killer Frost is.

DC's extreme advertising for her sure worked.

>>92406938

They tend to be the better written ones.

>>92412638
I like this story.

>>92406938
They forgot Blue Snowman, the golden age Wonder Woman villain. Who is a crossdresser.

>>92414476
Minister Blizzard was referenced in Johns' Nu52 JL run.

>>92414808
Goood. Best ice villain

>>92416610
You only like her because she is a girl.

>>92414516
Why does Wondy's rogues gallery include so many crossdressing women?

>>92414516

>I'm Giganta, formerly a female gorilla!

Tough act to follow.

>>92406938
>why do they always make the plant based characters green?

>>92418460
To show they are photosynthesis users instead of parasitic vines or whatever.

Does Owning an ice gun really get you into the "Cool guys with ice powers" club?

That's like buying a boat and then you can be considered an Aquaman villain.

>>92408531
>The one place Freeze does not need to wear the stupid suit he hates wearing so much.

I doubt he would be the cold people leader anyway. The guy is a neurotic weirdo, not a villain leader

Yeah. Some nerd could jury-rig a hair dryer to blow really cold air and he'd be almost set to becoming a supervillain. All he'd need next is a costume consisting of clothes you'd wear on a cold day, some goggles, and a book of cold puns.

Fimbulvetr: A radical racialist Odinist, he set fire to a church after being trapped by police inside. Hearing a mysterious voice that directed his attention to a hidden passage revealed by the blaze, he went down into the catacombs and discovered an enchanted, rime-covered axe, the weapon of a frost giant champion, sealed away by Christian monks and forgotten by myth and history. Forsaking his gods, he made a compact with the intelligent weapon, granting him the power to bring winter. His only goal now is to plunge this world into a never-ending ice age.
