Bobby Drake (M-616)

## Iceman

***Bobby Drake*** learned he was a mutant when his parents found him frozen in their swimming pool. He was told to keep his powers a secret because mutants are hated. Bobby was forced to defend himself from a bully and used his powers to freeze him. The bully told the cops and Bobby was arrested out of fear. Professor Xavier came to Bobby and explained there is a place he can learn about his powers and do good with them. Xavier then wiped the minds of everyone whom knew Bobby had powers. He then joined the X-Men as ***Iceman*** where he made friends with mutants his age.

After 3 years of adventures with his mutant family, Bobby went off to college and defended Los Angeles as Iceman along side his teammate Angel until the X-tinction made every mutant, including Bobby, skip the next 27 years. Bobby Drake was now no longer in college and all his work had been lost. He decided to skip a few years to discover more about the modern world.

Bobby decided to try college again at ESU. His roommates were Peter Parker and Angelica Jones, secretly the vigilantes Spider-Man and Firestar. This trio fought together for some time before Peter left college and subsequently their pseudo-team. Bobby and Angelica connected and nearly dated before she discovered something Bobby wasn't even certain of, he was gay.

After graduating ESU, Bobby became an accountant while fighting crime in Los Angeles as Iceman once more. Here, a gay Jewish man named Judah Miller fell in love with Bobby and treated him to his first gay relationship. They enjoyed their time together, but grew apart and decided to end things. Bobby has entered a long-term relationship with Romeo Rodriguez.
