Mister Freeze

Doctor **Victor Fries** (ヴィクター・フリーズ, *Vikutā Furīzu*), who was once a respected and brilliant cryogenic scientist, turned to a life of crime after he and his wife, Nora Fries, was suffered by an accident, from a lab experiment gone wrong, caused by his GothCorp CEO, Ferris Boyle. In the confusion of Farris' betrayal, Victor's body was electrocuted exactly the same time as being drenched in the cryogenic chemicals that he had created, which changed his body and his blood froze in his veins, mutating him into a bizarre quasi-undead being who could generate extreme cold around him. The result was becoming **Mister Freeze** (ミスター・フリーズ, *Misutā Furīzu*), a cold blooded, icy villain scientist with ice-generating abilities, motivated by the desire to find a cure him and his wife, get revenge on Ferris responsible for their changes and kill anyone who would stand in his way. Though saved by Batman, Freeze and Lazara regards the hero as an adversary for stopping their revenge against Ferris, sending them to Arkham Asylum, and continues in their plans and attempts to find a cure through crime.

Continuing in his plans and attempts to discover a cure through crime over the years, Mister Freeze often partners, yet rarely works, with other villains and criminals to steal the money and materials, unless it furthers his needs for his research, experiments, armor, abilities/powers, weaponry and antidotes to save him and Nora.

"*Have you ever seen a flower die? Watched something that was once so beautiful, so full of life, collapse and rot from within?*"

## Appearance & Biography

Victor Fries was a brilliant cryogrenicist while obsessively searching for a way to use his knowledge in cryogenics for the means of humanity, but the corporation that funded his research pulled the plug, triggering an accident that transformed Victor's body and blood into a cold-blooded form that must always be kept below zero and his powers in check. Wielding ice-generating abilities, and a number of freezing weapons, he wears protective cryogenic armor in his quest to somehow bring back and avenge fate that he and his wife wanted back - which he partly holds the Batman responsible for.

## Abilities and Traits

Mr. Freeze, as a result of his accident, generates extreme cold around him. But with the special technology in his cryogenic suit he is able to generate, manipulate, control, and shoot blasts of ice at will, and project ice-waves around him. He often uses these abilities to create bridges at high areas and paths across the water. He also has created winter-wonderlands and several ice burgs with his powers alone. He also possesses a special heat rod that allows him to heat and shatter any ice he creates. When using this device, he can freeze enemies then shatter them to pieces.

### Powers and Weapons

* **Cryokinesis**: Mr. Freeze has the power to not only manipulate and control ice but he can also able to produce, spring, and fire blasts of ice directly from anywhere, if not just from his hands.
* **Weather Manipulation**: In the year 2027, Victor (going by the alias Mr. Freeze 2.0) is able to produce temperatures so cold to make it snow so hard, that Gotham went through an ice age at one point.

### Abilities

* **Genius-Level Intellect**

* **Science**
* **Chemistry**
* **Gadgetry**
* **Computer Operation**

* **Cryogenics**: Freeze is a skilled inventor, specializing in cryogenics. He was able to successfully put his wife in suspended animation and use the same technology to create cryogenic weaponry.
* **Hand-to-Hand Combat (Basic)**:

### Weapons

* **Mr. Freeze's Cold Gun**: He freezes areas around him using special weapons and equipment.

### Equipment

* **Cryo-Suit**: A protective suit that keeps his body temperature below freezing, keep his powers under control, and enhances his strength and protects him from most physical attacks.

### Strength level

* **Superhuman strength:** Because of his mechanized cryogenic-support suit, his strength was also augmented to superhuman levels, which was best demonstrated with his effortlessly knocking a normal civilian a considerable distance away by ramming him with his forearm, also destroying the ice that was trapping his leg in the process, as well as his frequently grabbing Ferris Boyle by the neck.

### Weaknesses

* **Antifreeze**:
* **Electricity/Electromagnetic Pulses**: Electricity can short circuit the equipment in the armor, allowing Batman the opportunity to attack as Freeze attempts to compensate.
* **Heat**: Victor is at high risk when exposed to intense heat and must maintain a low body temperature at all times. He most commonly wears a suit of armor to keep his temperature low, but also has developed small cooling units that can be directly attached to his body.
* **Stealth**: The bulkiness of the Freeze support suit limits the mobility of Mr. Freeze significantly, allowing Batman the opportunity to use stealth attacks against him. However after each attack he adapts his suit so the same attack can't be used again.
* **Anti-Freeze tech**: As part of a plot to defeat Penguin, Victor gave Batman a chip designed to prevent his tech from being used against him, which may be used against Freeze during his fight against Batman. However, after its use, Victor will reprogram his ice gun so the disruptor cannot be used again.
* **Technological Reliability**: Must be kept at temperatures below the freezing point of water. Temperatures above freezing are both extremely harmful and painful to him.
