He doesn't dwell on the negative things in his life and quickly overcomes trials that may leave others in a darker and jaded mindset. He is quick to offer assistance and help for others. His mixed religious upbringing, Jewish and Irish-Catholic, ended up giving him a well rounded view of society. He is a prankster and enjoys joking with his friends, but he is loyal and defensive of them when they are in trouble. He's an open and honest person when it comes to how he feels about things. His optimistic outlook has aided him by giving him a sense of well-being, even when his life starts to turn around at the occurrence of his mutant powers. History: Bobby was born in Long Island, New York to a perfectly normal family and he lives a perfectly normal life. He plays basketball and hockey for his High School and enjoys photography and hanging out with friends. There was no reason to think he'd be any different than the average teenager at his school. He makes friends easily and even started dating Judy Harmon and feels that he might have a future with her after high school. His friends are a tight group of teenagers that share summer breaks together and are always hanging out on weekends. Bobby is very social and active in his community, always volunteering for fundraisers or to help with marathons in his neighborhood when the opportunity comes up. He is focused on building his college application to be as appealing as possible, because his parents are not wealthy and the only way he will be able to get to college is via scholarship. In order to bone up on his extra curricular activities for college, Bobby started participating with the Mathletes and competed with other high schools around New York, meeting Peter Parker this way. The two became friends and Bobby visited Peter in the city when he could, learning photography from him. He is good at his studies and diligent in homework and has started to become apt at math, especially accounting. He feels it is a safe, albeit boring bet to one day become an accountant. Both of his parents are proud of him for his dedication and achievements through high school. Since his 18th birthday, however, things have started to change for Bobby. He started getting cold. The temperature of his body is always low and he shivers uncontrollably at times, trying to hide it from his friends and his concerned parents. Gradually, he has learned to control it or, as far as he's concerned, just get used to it. He told his mother that he is fine and that it had just been a cold, and keeps it a secret from even his girlfriend Judy. One day, however, he froze a plate. He was eating breakfast and in a hurry, not wanting to be late for school, and on his way to the sink to drop off his dishes, the plate fell. He reached out his hand and, without realizing how he'd done it, froze the plate in a block of ice. When it hit the floor, it shattered, sending glass and ice everywhere. It was all he could do to clean it up before his mother saw it, and hurry off to school to be on time, afraid of what had just happened, and hoping it didn't occur again. His future with ice, however, was just beginning. Powers & Special Abilities: From Marvel Wikia Thermokinesis: Iceman is a mutant with the superhuman ability to lower his external and internal body temperature, projecting intense coldness from his body. Like any normal human being's, the nerve centers for regulating Iceman's body temperature are found in the part of the brain called the hypothalamus. However, Iceman can mentally override his hypothalamus to allow his body temperature to be lowered by an unknown internal mechanism. This ability converts the latent thermal energies in and around his body into an unknown form of energy that is efficiently dissipated. A related mutation has rendered his body tissues unaffected by sub-zero temperatures. Iceman can consciously, immediately lower his body temperature from its normal 98.6 Fahrenheit to absolute zero (The point where all molecular motion stops) and lower within the span of a few tenths of a second. As his body temperature falls, the surrounding moisture in the air that is in contact with him is similarly lowered. Just as condensed moisture forms frost, this moisture forms an icy covering which encompasses his entire body. It also obscures his facial features. When Iceman first begins to completely lower his body temperature, this covering takes on a more snow-like appearance. But as he learns to increase the severity of his coldness, the covering will assume the consistency of crystalline ice. This ice constantly cracks with any movement of his body, and immediately reforms. (Hence, there is a cracking sound when Iceman, covered with ice, moves.) Through practice, Iceman will learn to control the intensity of his coldness, and he will be able to selectively lower the temperature of isolated parts of his body. Thermal Vision: The ability to see beings due to the heat signature that others give off, because of the absence of heat around him. Cryokinesis: Iceman can use his mutant ability to control moisture such as to freeze any air moisture into super-hard ice. This ice can be formed into any object of his choosing: the only limitations are his own imagination, and the ambient air temperature which determines how long his ice sculpture will stay icy. He does not have to hold the ice physically with his hands in order to shape it. Apparently he can simply direct the waves of coldness he projects in certain ways so as to create ice in the shape he desires. Organic-Ice Form: Ability to not only cover his body with ice, but to actually become organic ice. Though the appearance is similar, Iceman will learn to become translucent in his ice form. Iceman will be virtually indestructible in this form, allowing him to reform his body should it become shattered. Due to the amount of water on Earth, Iceman has a virtually unlimited supply of moisture since it is always present in the surrounding air or environment. Even desert air has sufficient moisture content for him to make temporary practical use of; however, the mental effort needed to employ his mutant power under these circumstances could eventually fatigue him and render his freezing ability temporarily dysfunctional. Hydrokinesis: Iceman will be able to use surrounding moisture to augment himself, allowing him to travel within large bodies of water very quickly. He will accomplish this by breaking himself down to his base levels and reforming at the destination. He will learn to be able to convert his body to gigantic proportions as well, through absorption of a body of water or water vapor in the air. One side effect of this is he will gain superhuman strength to match his superhuman size. Wherever there is any moisture, Iceman is a threat. Iceman will learn to demonstrate the ability to be transformed into nothing more than water vapor, yet remain conscious and retain the use of his powers. His conscious control of his abilities will eventually allow him to exist simultaneously in two places at once. Abilities: Bobby is fluent in Spanish and is a skilled ice skater. Other: Some say the world will end in fire, Some say in ice. From what I've tasted of desire I hold with those who favor fire. But if it had to perish twice, I think I know enough of hate To say that for destruction ice Is also great And would suffice.
