Iceman Character Review
Iceman is a fictional character, a superhero who appears in comic books published by Marvel Comics. He is a founding member of the X-Men. A mutant, Iceman has the ability of cryokinesis where he can freeze anything around him and can also turn his body into ice. Although he is an Omega-level mutant,
Drake has yet to tap into his full mutant potential. He has, however,
begun to take more interest over the years in developing his abilities. One of the original X-Men, Iceman has had a frequent presence in X-Men (and Spider-Man)-related comics, video games, animated series, and movies.
Shawn Ashmore portrays Iceman in the X-Men films, and voices the character in The Super Hero Squad Show.

Powers and Abilities (Iceman)
Iceman possesses the power to instantly decrease the temperature of ambient water vapor
in his immediate environment to below zero degrees celsius, thereby
freezing it into ice. He is able to make unbreakable ice that will not
break unless he wills it to. In this manner he is able to quickly form a
great variety of ice structures, including projectiles, shields,
ladders, baseball bats, etc. He often makes ice slides which form
rapidly beneath and behind his feet, moving him along the slick surface
at high speeds.
He is also able to form exceedingly complicated
structures within relative short time like, for example, miniature
cities. Originally, Iceman's own body temperature would lower dramatically when his powers were active, reaching −105 °F (−76 °C)
within a few tenths of a second (now his body usually converts to
organic ice; see below). Iceman is immune to sub-zero temperatures; he
is also able to perceive the thermal energy level of objects around him.
Because cold is the absence of heat, Iceman does not actually 'emanate' cold; rather, he decreases thermal energy.
As mentioned by writer Mike Carey, Iceman is "an Omega level
mutant...[and] has powers that can influence the ecosystem of the entire
world."
In his early appearances, Iceman generally covered his body in a
thick layer of what appeared to be snow; hence he looked more like a
traditional snowman than an ice-man. Upon further training in the use of
his powers, he was able to fashion an armor of solid ice around his
body when using his powers, which afforded him some degree of protection
against concussive force and projectiles. Later on, he manifested the
ability to convert the tissue of his body into organic ice.
He sometimes
augments his organic ice form with razor sharp adornments to his
shoulders, elbows, knees, and fists. Iceman has also been able to move
rapidly to another distant location while in his organic ice form, being
able to deposit his bodily mass into a river and reconstitute his
entire mass a great distance away in a matter of minutes (by temporarily
merging his molecules with those of the river). On one occasion, Iceman
suffered a severe chest injury while in his ice form and was able to
heal himself by converting back into his normal human form.
Iceman is also able to reconstitute his organic ice form if any part
of it is damaged, or even if it is completely shattered, without
permanently harming himself. He can temporarily add the mass of a body
of water to his own, increasing his mass, size, and strength. He can
survive not only as ice, but as liquid water and water vapor. He can
also transform his body from a gaseous state back to a solid, although
it is physically and mentally taxing. Iceman can also freeze sea water, as seen during the "Operation Zero
Tolerance" story arc. While he usually does not use his powers in lethal
ways his powers are so vast that it extends to the molecular level, to
the point that he can freeze all of the molecules of an object/being
with a thought; he once froze every single molecule of water within the
body of David Haller.
Iceman is also able to dissolve his own icy constructs. Iceman's powers were pushed to their limit while possessed by Emma Frost, who used Iceman to discover the fate of her Hellions. During this
time Iceman was able to control all forms of moisture, freeze fluids
inside people's bodies, travel as a liquid, solid or gas. Not even the
combined might of the X-Men Gold team was able to stop Emma Frost in
Iceman's body. Following this, Bobby confronted Emma about how she was able to use his
powers so effectively. While together they made some initial progress,
she refused to train him further. Instead he turned to Storm because they share similar elemental powers and she agreed to tutor him.
When Iceman was injected with Sinister's neuro-inhibiter by Mystique,
he was able to save himself by drawing in all of the ambient moisture
around him, rapidly replacing his poisoned cells with healthy material
before the injection could kill him.
Aside from his superhuman powers, Iceman is also a fair hand-to-hand
combatant, and received combat training at Xavier's School as well as
coaching from the Black Widow and Hercules while serving with the Champions of Los Angeles. Iceman has as much combat training as Cyclops or Beast.
