they are cool

Every hero should have a cold theme villain.

What the fuck other color are you gonna make them? Red?

Why does DC have a boner for blue guys with atomic powers?

Freeze Force story when?

Why does DC (or maybe comics in general) have such a boner for Black guys with Lightning powers?

>grundy invited because he's pale
>doesn't tell them he has no ice powers
>just wants somewhere to belong

Its actually the snowman.

Why is polar lad there?

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

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

...

>Snowman
>Is actually a girl
What did they mean by this?

That's the Blue Snowman

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.

I kek'd.

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.

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

she's no man

I know right.

Man, KF got a hell of a makeover by the time JLU rolled around.

Minister Blizzard is a golden age Wonder Woman enemy.

Why do blue guys with atomic powers have a boner with DC?

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.

>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?

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.

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

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

Nope. Just a typical cold-themed villain.

Snowmans also a wonder woman villian. Diff guy though.

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

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 youtu.be/Ri3h04pvbMY

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 ?

...

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.

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.

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.

>Half the comments are asking where Killer Frost is.

DC's extreme advertising for her sure worked.

They tend to be the better written ones.

I like this story.

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

Minister Blizzard was referenced in Johns' Nu52 JL run.

Goood. Best ice villain

You only like her because she is a girl.

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

>I'm Giganta, formerly a female gorilla!

Tough act to follow.

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

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

Hey guys can I be in this thread?

Why does Marvel have so many heroes with Fire powers?

Is setting things on fire really that helpful?

I dont believe for a second that Clea and Zara didnt try to tear each other apart after they saw each other wearing the same thing for a party.

Fire good. Scare monsters, cook food.

Because Marvel has all the fire people?

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.

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

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

>[cold noun] [leader]
>[leader] [cold noun]
Quick, Sup Forums, make an ice-based character for DC

Blue Balls

Frost Bite: A cryokinetic lycanthrope

Black Ice: ironically not a black dude with ice powers.

Father Winter: Old dude with snow storm based powers.

Ice Pick: ...a guy with a magic ice pick

That describes about half of them

Glacial Empress

Fjord Lord

I should give content this good away for free

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.

shouldn't*

whoops

I promise to make it a web comic one day

They were created within months of each other. If anything they are both Icicle ripoffs.

That is almost certainly Crystal. JLU was Louise.

The Shiver Sultant

She's DC's best ice villain

>Captain Cold
>builds a gun
>gun is struck by mysterious radiation that gives it cold powers

literally Barry Allen with a gun

Blizzard Wizard- is what it sounds like.

Winter Witch- ditto

Snow Lobe- a giant, cryokinetic brain.

Mr. Chiller- a hulking robot made out of cryotech parts.

PROFESSOR COLDHEART

typhoid mary is technically a fire-based villian too

some user posted this idea in a thread a while back. I thought it was a pretty interesting concept

A red guy with ice powers wouldn't make any sense.

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.

Changeling Frost?

>Cheif Chill
>Comanche with blessed ice arrows

Yeah, Frost being some lost princess of an ice kingdom is a neat idea

Blue and ice go together well. It's not just DC

Don't forget Marvel's abundance of GREEN.

There are so many green characters that when they adapt them for movies, they change the color.
