iceman (bobby Drake)

early life:

Robert "Bobby" Louis Drake was born in Floral Park, Hempstead, New York, to William Robert Drake and Madeline Beatrice Bass-Drake. Bobby was Jewish on his mother's side and Irish Catholic on his father's side. Bobby first discovered his mutant abilities at an early age, when he realized he could not stop feeling cold and shivering. A school bully named Rocky Beasely had convinced his gang to attack Bobby and Judy Harmon, his girlfriend at the time. Bobby panicked and encased Rocky in ice, saving Judy, but revealing his abilities to his peers. Believing Bobby to be a dangerous mutant, the people of his town, Fort Washington, organized a lynch mob. The mob broke into the Drake home and overpowered them. The local sheriff noticed things were getting out of hand and took Bobby into custody for his own protection. The story reached Professor Charles Xavier, founder of the X-Men. [16] X-Men

member of x-men:

Xavier sent Scott Summers (Cyclops) to recruit Bobby. After Bobby rejected him, the two mutants had a brief fight before the mob caught up to them. The mob was tying up Scott and Bobby to be hanged when Professor X used his telepathic abilities to erase their memories. Grateful for saving his life and longing to be like Scott, [17] Bobby enrolled in Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters and became the second member of the X-Men. [18] There, the X-Men were tutored by Professor X and trained in the use of their powers in the Danger Room. As 'Iceman', Bobby learned to control his abilities to protect a world that feared and hated him for being different alongside Cyclops, Angel, Beast, and Marvel Girl. Iceman quickly befriended Beast, however he remained self-conscious about being the youngest member of the group. Even so, his light-hearted approach to disasters often eased tension between his teammates. Bobby's rudimentary control of his abilities caused his appearance to be similar to that of a snowman, rather than the nearly transparent ice version of his later years. Alongside the X-Men, he battled many foes, including Magneto [19] and the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants. [20] [21] Over time, Bobby learned to cover himself in ice rather than his original snowman appearance. [22] During this time, Bobby teamed up with the Human Torch to defeat the modern-day pirate Captain Barracuda. ​​[23]

powers:

Iceman is an Omega-level mutant. [12] [125] [124] [126] [105] [12] [127] He was also considered an Omega-level mutant by Supergiant, [128] an Alpha-level mutant by Apocalypse, [129] and a High Threat by O*N*E. [125] According to Prosh, his Comparative Mutagenic Power Rating was 3.2. [130] On a day-to-day basis, Drake's powers are not capable of reaching their highest level of performance, but this potential has been unlocked on a few occasions by various encounters, specifically with Loki, [62] Mikhail Rasputin, [71] and Emma Frost. [131] On other occasions, his abilities were unlocked by telepaths, such as Psylocke.

Cold Generation - Iceman is a mutant with the ability to reduce both his external and internal body temperature, which projects intense cold from his body. Like any normal human, the nerve centers for regulating Iceman's body temperature are located in the part of the brain called the hypothalamus. However, Iceman can mentally override his hypothalamus to allow his body temperature to be reduced by an unknown internal mechanism. This ability converts latent thermal energies within and around his body into an unknown form of energy that is efficiently dissipated. A related mutation has caused his body tissues to be unaffected by sub-zero temperatures. Iceman can consciously and immediately reduce his body temperature from its normal 98.6 Fahrenheit to absolute zero (the point where all molecular motion stops) in the span of a few tenths of a second. Iceman's power to generate cold is so great that he was able to stop a mass fusion device from exploding.

Infrared Vision: By lowering his body temperature, Iceman can see other beings through the heat signatures they emit due to the absence of heat around them. [132] Negative Temperature Manipulation: Iceman can completely control, generate, and manipulate negative temperatures due to his connection to cold and freezing temperatures.[133] Positive Temperature Manipulation: Iceman can also manipulate positive temperatures by absorbing heat from their bodies or structures.[53]

Ice Generation and Manipulation - Iceman can completely generate, manipulate, and control ice, snow, and cold temperatures. He can use his mutant ability to control moisture, such as freezing any moisture in the air into super-hard ice. This ice can be transformed into any object of his choosing - the only limitations are his own imagination and the ambient air temperature which determines how long his ice sculpture will remain frozen. He does not have to physically hold the ice with his hands to shape it. He can apparently simply direct the cold waves he projects in certain ways to create ice in the shape he desires. In the past, Iceman has formed ice stairs, ice slides, ice shields, ice domes, ice bolts, ice blasts, ice beams, and other ice constructs. Iceman has created ice constructs so powerful that he was able to easily encase and contain the likes of the Hulk without being able to get out of it for quite some time. On at least one occasion, he has even been shown to make it snow or cause a blizzard. He can also thaw matter.

Iceman is able to form an ascending column of ice beneath his feet, capable of lifting him off the ground. The tensile strength of the column is determined by its thickness, and its firmness by how well it has been braced. A well-braced, regular column, 6 feet in diameter at its base, is able to support his weight without toppling over for about 85 feet in a 40 mile per hour wind. By forming long ramps of ice connected to his ice column or to an existing structure such as a building or bridge, Iceman is able to travel above the ground by sliding down the ramp he is creating. Unless he periodically creates supports, the ramp will crack beneath him, unable to support their combined weight. However, Iceman has shown that he is not limited to creating constructs, and can fly on his own with his control over moisture, or by levitating ice above his own body.

Iceman's control over his powers is so vast that it extends to the molecular level, to the point that he can freeze all the molecules of an object/being with a thought, as well as unfreeze it. An example would be freezing the blood in one's veins, thus stopping the flow to the brain. He has demonstrated the ability to control chemical reactions at the molecular level, at one point preventing Sunfire from accessing his powers. [91] Absolute Freeze: Iceman's power over ice and cold is so great that he can literally freeze anything, including light, hellfire, or even time itself. [134] Absolute Zero Induction: Iceman can reduce extremely cold temperatures to absolute zero, the point at which all atomic and molecular motion ceases.[135] Ice Constructs: Iceman can create any ice construct he wants or imagines for various purposes. [136] He can generate pillars to freeze or capture enemies, [137] small or large shields for protection, [137] spears and spikes to cut, pierce, or slash enemies, [138] [139] and walls for defensive purposes. [140] Organic Ice Form - Ability to not only cover his body in ice, but turn into organic ice. [141] Although the appearance is similar, Iceman is now actually translucent in his ice form. Iceman is virtually indestructible in this form, allowing him to reform his body should it break or evaporate. He was incinerated while in human form and was able to rebuild himself. In his ice form, he can use moisture in the air to form spikes, shields, and attach other additional appendages to his body. It is currently unknown if Bobby would be considered immortal.

Water Manipulation: Iceman can manipulate water on a molecular level, and can use the surrounding moisture to increase his own potential, allowing him to travel within large bodies of water very quickly. He accomplishes this by breaking himself down to his base levels and reforming at the destination. He can also turn his body into gigantic proportions, by absorbing a mass of water or water vapor in the air. A side effect of this is that he gains superhuman strength to match his superhuman size. Wherever there is moisture, Iceman is a threat. Iceman has shown the ability to transform into nothing but water or water vapor, yet remain conscious and retain the use of his powers. His conscious control of his abilities allows him to perceive all events occurring within it, likening it to the perception of a god. [98], [122] Cell Replacement: Bobby discovered that he could use his control over moisture to draw ambient moisture into himself and thus use that moisture to replace the cells in his body. He framed this ability as "a body swap, done one piece - one cell - at a time", and by doing this he was able to avoid receiving a fatal dose of neurotoxin, by letting the poisoned molecules in his body dissipate into vapor and be replaced by uncontaminated water molecules from his environment. By using this ability, he is able to heal/purge himself by remaking his own body. [148] Cryokinetically Enhanced Strength: Iceman can increase his physical strength by adding body masses of water to himself or his ice, granting him a physical strength of easily 100 tons.

Water Absorption: Iceman can absorb surrounding water sources to heal himself or dehydrate beings.[149] Travel across bodies of water: Iceman can travel across different bodies of water to transport himself. [150] Water Healing: Iceman can use the surrounding moisture to not only reform his entire body, but also heal himself from various damage. Water Transmutation: Iceman can turn into water to drown or flood his opponents.

personality:

Very loud, charismatic, he is always attentive to everyone, although he is a hero and a trusted X-Men protecting humans and mutants who deserve it, no matter what the threat is for Bobby, it will be easy to beat
