Slushy

Slushy, also known as Experiment 523, is an illegal genetic experiment created by Jumba Jookiba and a major character in the Lilo & Stitch franchise.
He was designed to create freezing conditions, producing a combination of ice and snow. With his specialization in extreme cold, he generates intense snow storms and enormous snowdrifts, while also ensuring that food remains preserved for an extended period of time. His one true place is making shave ice alongside Dupe.
He was voiced by Frank Welker.
==Appearance==
Slushy typically appears as a jagged ice creature with three icicles on his head, while lacking identifiable fingers or toes. His icy body is a substitute material that is light blue-white in color, enabling him to regenerate and reform his body if he is damaged or shattered into pieces. He has a turquoise nose, a purple tongue, and his eyes are a darker shade of blue, all of which are not composed of the synthetic ice material.
==Personality==
Slushy possesses a clear focus on having a good time, with his main source of enjoyment being the creation of ice and snow in large quantities. When faced with boredom or irritations, he freezes the source and continues with whatever he's doing. Slushy prefers to work undisturbed and detests any interruptions or obstacles that may hinder his progress. Before his redemption, Slushy would laugh maniacally and cackle sadistically.
He is not very affectionate or interested in forming relationships because he is more concerned with creating snow and ice, losing interest in other things easily. However, he is still capable of forming friendships with others like Dupe and Sinker if he is willing to. Slushy has a strong dislike to hot weather and heat in general, and tends to get easily irritated by it. He also enjoys engaging in playful snowball fights with his cousins and sometimes takes pleasure in causing mischief by creating slippery conditions or freezing necessities of others.
He has a reputation for being confrontational and also has a rivalry with Splodyhead ever since they first crossed paths, but they later became friends when Pleakley managed to help them resolve it.
==Biography==
===Lilo & Stitch: The Series===
Stitch attempted to retrieve a soda from the vending machine by shaking it, causing 523's pod to accidentally fall out and roll into a nearby storm drain. Once in the sewage, 523 was activated, releasing an icy blast that froze the grating above. Subsequently, 523 froze the top of another storm drain located at a helicopter base before emerging from it. Taking advantage of the situation, 523 then hitched a ride on a helicopter and proceeded to unleash a snowy spectacle across the entire island.
After the soda machine malfunctioned, Stitch tampered with it, causing some damage. This incident led to Stitch and Lilo stumbling upon the unexpected snowy weather in Kokaua Town. Stitch felt uneasy and disturbed by the snow, while Lilo found it intriguing and convinced Stitch to accompany her back home. There, they sought the advice of Jumba, who unveiled the capabilities of Experiment 523 to them.
Afterward, Lilo and Stitch left the house and encountered with Experiment 523, which resulted in Stitch being frozen by 523. 523 attempted to freeze Lilo as well, only to be thwarted when Gantu intervened and captured the experiment in a glass capsule. Fortunately, Lilo came to Stitch's aid, freeing him from his icy prison with a blaster and allowing him to reclaim 523 from Gantu after a scuffle. Experiment 523, now named Slushy, was then brought back to the Pelekai house, where Lilo persuaded him to sprinkle more snow around their house for some winter-themed fun.
At first, Stitch was hesitant about the snow because it is a type of water. However, he eventually overcame his reluctance and joined Lilo in enjoying the winter activities of ice skating and sledding. As they were having fun in the snow, Gantu made a sudden appearance and managed to capture Slushy. He then commanded Slushy to unleash a fierce blizzard that covered the entire island, creating a formidable ice fortress for Gantu and Reuben, Experiment 625.
Shortly after, Lilo and Stitch embarked on a journey to the ice fortress with the intention of taking down Slushy. In order to outsmart their enemies, they devised a plan to create decoys made of snow that resembled themselves. These decoys caught the attention of Gantu, who fell for the trap and allowed Lilo and Stitch to slip by unnoticed alongside Reuben. Despite their best efforts, Slushy eventually caught on to their scheme and imprisoned them by trapping them under massive icicles. However, Splodyhead soon arrived with Jumba and Pleakley. Splody's arrival displeased Slushy, and the former later engaged in a fierce battle with the latter. A prolonged and intense conflict took place between the two, ultimately resulting in Slushy freezing Splodyhead in a solid block of ice.
Once Splodyhead was eventually freed, he unleashed a powerful fireball towards the sky from the summit of Waialeale Peak in order to disperse Slushy's relentless snowstorms. Meanwhile, Gantu, who had been previously defeated, fell ill with a cold. Following Slushy's defeat and subsequent capture, Lilo and Stitch discovered a suitable home for him where he could start a new life by making shave ice.
In "Angel", after some time, Slushy was turned evil once again by Angel's song, leading him to unleash havoc by freezing the entire town, putting Stitch and Pleakley in danger. Subsequently, Slushy joined forces with Richter, Kixx, Sparky, Yin, Yang, and Cannonball, all of whom were also under the influence of Angel's song, in an attack on Stitch while they were aboard a ship. However, Angel had a change of heart and reversed their evil transformations before they could harm Stitch. The experiments, now back to their good selves, teamed up to defeat Gantu and managed to escape from the ship with Stitch.
In "Spike", Slushy was one of the experiments part of a group formed by Pleakley, known as the E.A.R.W.A.X. group. This group also included Spike, Fibber, Nosy, Bonnie, Clyde, and Splodyhead. Slushy, feeling bored, decided to create a snowball and throw it at Pleakley. However, Pleakley managed to dodge the snowball, resulting in it hitting Splodyhead instead. Angered, Splody melted the snowball with his body heat and fired a plasma blast towards Slushy. Slushy conjured up a bat made of ice and swiftly smacked it at Spike, damaging him and freeing him from his glass capsule simultaneously in the process. Chaos ensued as Splodyhead, Slushy, Bonnie, Clyde, Spike, and Nosy all engaged in a chaotic fight with each other. 
The commotion came to an end when Pleakley intervened and suggested that the group try hugging therapy as a means to resolve their conflicts. Surprisingly, Splody and Slushy took the initiative and embraced, putting an end to their rivalry, though physical contact between Splody and Slushy caused smoke to occur due to their distinct body compositions.
In "Snafu", Slushy and Dupe were observed working together to leverage their abilities in order to market and sell numerous low-calorie shave ice cones to customers. Their activity was soon disrupted by Gantu's nefarious plan to manipulate the rehabilitated experiments back to their evil ways. Gantu attempted to achieve this by playing a recording of Angel's song, but his scheme was foiled due to the interference caused by Snafu, Experiment 120. As a result, instead of Angel's song, Gantu's karaoke tape started playing, much to the amusement of Slushy and Dupe, who found the situation quite comical.
===Leroy & Stitch===
Slushy was spotted alongside Poki while he was making shave ice. Afterward, Leroy managed to capture the first 624 experiments, including Slushy, and brought them to a stadium for annihilation, but Lilo, Stitch, Jumba, Pleakley, Reuben, and Gantu intervened just in time to save the experiments from being destroyed.
During the battle between the experiments and the Leroy clones, Slushy used his freezing abilities to halt the advancing waves of attacking Leroys by breathing ice.
The Leroys eventually managed to gain the upper hand, but their victory was short-lived as Lilo, Stitch, Reuben, and other experiments sang "Aloha 'Oe", causing the Leroy army to deactivate because of a fail-safe programmed by the original Leroy.
===Stitch!===
In "Meega Going to Disneyland!", Gantu mentioned that he had conducted research on Disneyland and revealed that Hämsterviel intended to visit the theme park with his six new experiments, Pix, Boomer, Slushy, Blowhard, Kixx, and Slugger. Upon arriving at Disneyland, Yuna's father encountered Hämsterviel and his experiments, who accused Yuna, Stitch, and their companions of being alien villains. This led to a tourist crowd chasing after Stitch. Another group of people surrounded Yuna, Sasha, Penny, and BooGoo. Despite Stitch attempting to assist them, Slugger managed to grab him and lift him up. Penny, along with Yuna, Sasha, Pleakley, and Jumba, was also captured and suspended with ropes, trying to threaten Hämsterviel, but to no avail. After releasing Stitch, Slugger hit him downwards, while Blowhard blew him against a wall and held him there. Stitch sneezed, causing Blowhard to be blown away instead. Boomer then launched himself at Stitch, and Kixx attacked, but Stitch evaded both and made Boomer collide with Kixx, sending them both flying. Stitch then charged at Hämsterviel, only to be frozen in ice by Slushy. Though Stitch managed to break free, Hämsterviel used his friends and Penny as hostages, leaving Stitch feeling helpless. Eventually, Pix caught a distorted photo of him.
Later, following Stitch and his friends' escape, Hämsterviel releases his six experiments, only to have Yuna successfully defeat Kixx, Slugger, and Blowhard, while Sasha takes care of Slushy, Boomer, and Pix, resulting in Hämsterviel's loss.
In "Stitch Ahoy!", Hämsterviel planned an attack on a cruise ship that he lured Stitch onto by using both Slushy and Sinker, transmuted, to attack everyone. Slushy froze all the passengers on the ship, but Stitch managed to defeat him by inhaling his ice breath and hitting him back with it. Once defeated, Slushy and Sinker were locked in glass capsules and were out of their transmuted state. Soon after they were released, they began making shave ice.
In "Stitch and the Planet of Sand", Slushy was one of the numerous experiments that were captured by Hämsterviel and imprisoned in glass containers. With Stitch's help, they were able to escape from captivity and joined forces to thwart Hämsterviel, Gantu, and Reuben, thereby preventing Hämsterviel's scheme of ruling the universe. Afterward, Slushy and the other experiments returned back on Earth.
Slushy was seen at the end of "Stitch! Perfect Memory" making shave ice for everyone.
==Powers and Abilities==
Slushy has standard Experiment physiology/biology which includes superhuman strength, durability, and high jumping, along with displaying cryokinesis while having the ability to manipulate ice in any size, shape or form.
*Cryokinesis: Slushy appears to have great and immense power over ice and snow, having the ability to craft, create, manipulate, and control ice, as well as turn water into solid ice. He can produce ice in different ways, like by chilling the air until it freezes into solid ice or by solidifying nearby water. He can shoot blasts of ice or snow, and Jumba states he can make high snowdrifts and blizzards.
**Cold manipulation/thermokinesis: Slushy can control temperature by manipulating the movement of particles and decreasing their energy levels, resulting in a colder environment that can range from a refreshing chill to extreme coldness.
**Ice breath: Slushy can create and control ice and cold temperatures within his body, enabling him to control the way in which it is released. This control allows him to produce various forms such as bursts, streams, spheres, and even a mist emitted from his mouth. In order to tap into this cryokinetic ability, Slushy inhales deeply before releasing a powerful exhale.
**Cryo-telekinesis: Slushy can manipulate matter using ice through telekinesis. This power allows him to move and interact with objects by using ice as a medium. When crushed under ice pillars, Slushy was able to telekinetically lift them above him and then transformed the ice pillars into a swirling vortex, creating a powerful hurricane that ultimately sucked Splodyhead into its center.
**Cryokinetic surfing: Slushy is able to create frozen trails in the air that allow him to surf on them, granting him the power to soar through the air as long as he wants.
**Ice weaponry: Naturally, Slushy can shape ice into various weapons that can be utilized in battles, including spears, swords, and scythes. In a combat situation, his ice pugil stick and ice bat were effectively used to deflect the plasma blasts from Splody.
**Cryokinetic creature creation: As another cryokinetic ability, Slushy can manipulate ice in such a way that he can bring forth living beings or mold the ice into intricate forms to serve different functions. He can either make them sentient or control them before ultimately melting/erasing them once he no longer needs them.
**Cold empowerment: Slushy's abilities are amplified when he is near water sources. He gains enhanced strength, speed, and resilience when exposed to cold temperatures, potentially activating new cold-related powers and boosting his current capabilities.
*Tornado spin: Slushy can rapidly spin like a tornado while launching attacks, creating a swirling effect. Additionally, he seems to be able to achieve a form of levitation and flight with this unique skill.
*Regeneration: If his body is shattered and broken into shapeless lump of blocks and bits of ice, Slushy can easily regenerate himself perfectly and can regenerate from snowballs and chunks of ice. He can instantly reform his body back together as long as pieces of his body are still remaining.

==Trivia==
*For some reason, Slushy consciously chose to be on Hämsterviel's side in his first appearance in "Stitch!", though he went back to being good in later episodes.
*His experiment number in the French version is 509, the same as Sprout's number.
