Mr. Freeze

**Dr. Victor Fries** is a Human male and known criminal, residing in Gotham City. He is one of Batman's most sympathetic foes, but remains a very dangerous one at that, under the name **Mr. Freeze**.

## **Origins**

Growing up a rather isolated and ridiculed individual, Victor Fries was a rather cold person, until the day came when he found the love of his life, Nora. The two married sometime after college, but when she became sick, Victor began working at Gothcorp to finance her treatments, as well as look for a way to preserve her life in suspended animation until he could find a cure. It would be, however, that his employers refused to fund his research into cryogenic stasis and it was from a lab accident at his place of employment that made him into a man that cannot survive outside of sub-zero temperatures and has since continued his life finding a cure for his wife, resorting to crime to fund his research. This has gotten him into much legal trouble, as well as conflict with both cops and even Batman.

## **Powers & Abilities**

### Powers

* **Enhanced Human Physiology:** Because of the accident in the laboratory of his employment, Victor's body was altered to the point where he couldn't survive outside of a sub-zero environment. It also gave him a couple of abilities that would aid him in his quest to save his wife from her fatal illness.
	+ **Decelerated Aging:** Because the chemicals that altered his body were based around cryogenics, Victor's body has slowed in terms of the standard aging process of a normal human. Whether his aging process has completely stopped or slowed to a crawl, is inconclusive.
	+ **Toxin Immunity:** Thanks to his body chemistry, Freeze's body can withstand virtually any known toxin.

### Abilities

* **Genius-Level Intellect:** Even before his accident, Victor was a polymath in various fields of study. This included cryogenics, which he started when he was a very young man, as well as medicine, chemistry and even neurobiology.
* **Mechanical Engineering:** Victor's knowledge didn't just limit him to specific sciences, in fact, it was through his mechanical engineering that allowed him to fashion is iconic ice suit, allowing him to not only survive normal temperatures, but to allow him mobility. He also has knowledge in terms of creating various cryo-based weaponry.

## **Weaknesses**

* **Heat:** Since his accident, Victor's body is incapable of surviving normal temperatures that even humans are adapted to and even hotter temperatures would be considered fatal to him. This is why Victor needs to maintain himself through his suit, or by placing himself in areas of extreme cold when he's out of his suit.
* **Nora:** Despite Victor's physical weakness to the heat, what he truly cares about is the safety of his wife Nora. Victor is willing to kill anyone or anything that even tries to harm her while she is in her cryogenic state.

## **Equipment**

* **Cryo-Suit:** Following the incident in his lab at Gothcorp, Victor was able to craft himself a suit which regulated his body temperature outside a sub-zero environment. Even though it's designed to regulate his temperature, but it also can Take a hit, however even this suit can lose integrity after sometime.
* **Cryo-Gun:** Aside from his impressive suit, Victor is nowhere without his iconic cryo-gun, which when fired, can turn a normal person into a massive ice cube.

## **Characteristics**

### Physical Appearance

Victor is a human male, originally caucasian, standing at 6ft tall, weighing in at 190 lb. soaking wet. Following his accident however, Victor's skin color had changed to that of blue, due to the cryo-genic chemicals he was exposed. He wears a pair of goggles, likely infrared in nature, allowing him to detect heat signature. He is bald as well and his eyes are blue, but whether he had hair and blue eyes prior to the incident that made him Mr. Freeze, is unknown. He's also wearing his custom-made suit, specifically designed to regulate his body temperature.

### Personality & Traits

Despite his criminal lifestyle, Victor isn't a bad man at heart. He is noble, caring and passionate, even though he possesses a rather frigid appearance. He is also very protective, especially since his wife Nora is in suspended animation, with no way of protecting herself. He does rely on both villains and heroes to aid him, but should either faction cross him the wrong way, Victor isn't afraid to take action and will not hesitate to kill to protect the one he loves.
