Iceman is a member of a subspecies of
humans known as mutants, who are born
with superhuman abilities. He has the
ability to manipulate ice and cold by
freezing water vapor around him. This
allows him to freeze objects, as well as
turn his body into ice.
The character has been frequently

present in X-Men and Spider-Man-related
comics, video games, animated series,
and movies. Shawn Ashmore portrayed
Iceman in the X-Men films, and voices the
character in The Super Hero Squad
Show.
Publication history
Created by writer Stan Lee and artist/co-
writer Jack Kirby, the character first
appeared in X-Men #1 (September 1963).
Lee later admitted that Iceman was
created essentially as a copy of the
Human Torch, only using the opposite
element for his power.[1]
Iceman was featured in two self-titled

limited comic book miniseries, one in
1984-85 written by J. M. DeMatteis and
another in the 2000s by Andy Lanning
and Dan Abnett, with art by Karl Kerschl.
DeMatteis said of the first series, "It was
my idea, so there was no one to blame
but myself. I'll just say that it was a
mistake and if the series made any sense
whatsoever it was due to [editor] Bob
Budiansky. That was a case where the
editor's input was really needed - and
Bob was a big help."[2]
A mainstay in most X-Men titles, Iceman

has been a main character in both
Uncanny X-Men and the second volume
of X-Men and was also featured in The
Champions from 1975 to 1978[3] and The
New Defenders from 1983 to 1986 as a
member. He was a main character in the
first volume of X-Factor, and a star in
flashback stories when he was a teenager
in X-Men: The Hidden Years and X-Men:
First Class.
In April 2015, in issue 40 of All-New X-

Men, a time-displaced version of the
teenaged Iceman was revealed as gay by
his teammate, Jean Grey, who discerned
this with her telepathic ability.[4] This
raised questions, because the character's
adult, present-day counterpart had
previously been portrayed dating women.
In Uncanny X-Men #600, which was
published in November that year, the
young Iceman confronts his older self,
who confirms that he is gay as well but
repressed his true self, not wanting to be
both gay and a mutant.[5] In 2017, Iceman
received his first ongoing solo series,
which focused on the adult Bobby Drake
coming to terms with life as an out gay
man, his Omega-level superpowers, his
legacy as a hero and fighting some of the
biggest villains in the Marvel Universe.[6]
The book had been cancelled, with its
last issue being in early 2018.[7]
A new book written by Sina Grace will be

a part of the Fresh Start initiative.[8]

Main Timeline Iceman
Early life
Robert Louis "Bobby" Drake was born in

Floral Park, Long Island, New York, to
William Robert Drake and Madeline
Beatrice Bass-Drake. His father is Irish-
American Catholic, and his mother is
Jewish.[9] Bobby's powers first
manifested when he was on a date with
Judy Harmon, and a local bully by the
name of Rocky Beasely tried to take Judy
away for himself. Knowing Judy could not
put up a good fight, Bobby pointed his
hand at Beasely and encased him in a
block of ice. Later, the local townspeople,
having heard of the incident, came
looking for him in the form of an angry
mob. The local sheriff had no choice but
to put Bobby in jail for his own
"protection". While Bobby sat in his cell
at the sheriff station, the outer wall was
blown open, and a young man named
Scott Summers walked in and offered to
take Bobby with him. After Bobby turned
him down, the two mutants got into a
short battle, which was soon ended by
the arrival of Professor Charles Xavier.[10]
After Xavier spoke with Bobby and his

parents, Bobby's parents suggested that
he go with Professor Xavier to his "school
for gifted youngsters". Bobby took the
suggestion and left with Professor Xavier
and Cyclops to become the second
member of the X-Men. He is later joined
by Henry "Hank" McCoy, Jean Grey, and
Warren Worthington III as the founding
members of the X-Men. Drake remains
self-conscious regarding the fact that he
is the youngest member of the group.
Appearing in his original snow covered
form, he first battles Magneto along with
the rest of the team,[11] and later the
Brotherhood of Evil Mutants.[12] Bobby
Drake's first girlfriend is Zelda.[13] Not
long after, he takes on a new ice-covered
form.[14] He then teams up with the
Human Torch for the first time.[15] The
two would become close friends as time
went on. With the X-Men, he visits the
Savage Land and meets Ka-Zar for the
first time.[16] He then battles the
Juggernaut,[17] and is badly injured in his
first battle against the Sentinels.[18] He
next battles Magneto by himself.[19] Later,
he visits Subterranea for the first time.[20]
Then, he and Beast battle the Maha
Yogi.[21] During his original stint with the
X-Men, Drake pursues a relationship with
Lorna Dane, although the relationship
does not last. Iceman is among the
original X-Men captured by Krakoa,
leading to a new incarnation of X-Men of
which he is not a member. With most of
the original team, he quits the X-Men.[22]
Champions and Defenders
Iceman moves to the American west

coast to attend UCLA and becomes a
founding member of The Champions of
Los Angeles.[23] However, the Champions
soon dissolve.[24]
Iceman is then abducted by Master Mold,

and alongside Angel, he encounters the
Hulk.[25] Iceman next aids the Thing in
battling the Circus of Crime.[26] Drake
retires from life as a superhero to earn a
college degree in accounting - but
apparently at a college on the east coast,
not UCLA.[27] While in college, he briefly
rejoins the X-Men to rescue the captives
of Arcade's henchman, Miss Locke.[28]
Iceman is reunited with Beast,

encounters Cloud, and then returns as a
full-time superhero in an incarnation of
the Defenders alongside his former
teammates, Angel and Beast.[29] He also
battles Professor Power's Secret Empire
while with the Defenders.[30] After the
Defenders disband, Drake embarks on
his career as an accountant.
Some time later, Iceman encounters

Mirage, the "daughter" of Oblivion.
Iceman journeys back in time and meets
his parents before he was born, and
battles Oblivion and Mirage. He then
reconciles with his parents.[31]
X-Factor
The original X-Men, including Iceman,
reunite to form the superhero team X-
Factor.[32] With this new team, he
encounters Apocalypse for the first
time.[33]
During his time with the team, Loki

captures Bobby, hoping to use him to
gain control over the Frost Giants. Loki
enhances Bobby's powers and then
extracts them to restore the size of the
Frost Giants. Iceman is rescued by
Thor.[34] Loki's tampering increases
Bobby's powers to such an extent that he
begins to lose control of his abilities.
During a later battle with the Right, he is
fitted with a power-dampening belt which
actually helps him control his abilities.
Once able only to sheathe his own body
in a protective coating of ice, Bobby finds
he can encase the entirety of the Empire
State Building. With time, Bobby gains
sufficient control over his augmented
powers and is able to stop using the
inhibitor belt. Believing he has achieved
his full potential, Bobby does not attempt
to develop his abilities further.
With X-Factor, Bobby then defeats

Apocalypse's Horsemen.[35] Iceman helps
watch over many of the younger
superheroes, something he once was.
Most notably, he and Beast help Boom
Boom gain a more normal life. For a brief
while, he also helps supervise the New
Mutants and their sister team, the X-
Terminators. They, in turn, save him from
the deadly kiss of Infectia.[36]
Bobby also develops a romantic

relationship with Opal Tanaka. After a
session of ice sledding, she discovers
threatening mail in her mailbox, a
precursor to harassment by her
cybernetically-enhanced relatives of the
Tatsu Clan of the Yakuza, which Bobby
helps her out with.[37]
After the "Muir Island Saga", Iceman
rejoins the X-Men along with the rest of
X-Factor.[38]
Back with the X-Men
When he rejoined the X-Men it seemed

that he learned to control his powers and
no longer needed the inhibitor belt, this
made him believe he reached the limit of
his powers.[39] The X-Men were separated
into two groups, Iceman was placed in
the gold team, led by Storm, along with
fellow original X-Men Jean Grey (now
sans codename) and Archangel.[40]
One day he took Opal to eat with his
parents, however his dad began
humiliating her because of her Japanese
heritage. The four are attacked by the
Cyber-Samurai, which added to William
Drake's prejudices about the girl.[41]
When Bobby came across Mikhail
Rasputin he used his mutant abilities on
him. Bobby discovered that his potential
was still far from being reached as he
converted his body into ice, not just
covered by it.[42] By turning his entire
body to ice, instead of just wearing an icy
exterior, Bobby now was capable of
using his power in new, aggressive ways,
adding spikes and padding to his ice
structure.[43]
Too busy with the many threats that the

X-Men faced every day, Bobby let his
relationship with Opal deteriorate and,
when they finally saw each other again
after weeks, it was only to save her from
an attack by mutant haters. Annoyed that
she could only gain his attention by
nearly getting killed, Opal broke off their
relationship.[44]
Later, as he was checking on Emma Frost

who was in a comatose state after the
mutant Trevor Fitzroy unleashed the
mutant-hunting Sentinels on Emma Frost
and her students known as the Hellions,
the mansion was hit by an electricity
breakdown.[45] Emma woke up
disoriented, possessed Bobby's mind,
and used his powers in ways Bobby
never had; she froze an entire river and
traveled through water. She was looking
for her pupils but after finding out they
were dead, she left Bobby's body.[46]
Bobby invites Rogue to tag along on a

visit to his parents. Wrongly assuming a
romantic relation, his father disapproves
of Rogue, verbally attacking them with
the same prejudices he expressed with
Opal. This time, Bobby had enough and
left after telling his father that he should
just accept the fact that he is a mutant
and he would never fit the definition he
has of normal. He was upset that Emma
exhibited greater control of his powers
than he had. Since Rogue was having
problems with Gambit, the two of them
go on a road trip to ease their minds.[47]
During the Legion Quest, Iceman was one

of the X-Men who went back in time to
stop Legion from killing Magneto. They
succeed, but only partially. Legion does
not kill Magneto, but instead accidentally
murdered Xavier, his own father, years
before Legion had been conceived much
less born. This paradox caused the
events of the Age of Apocalypse. At the
last moment before the original reality
ended, Iceman's fellow X-Men, Rogue
and Gambit shared a kiss. When reality
resumed, Rogue's mind-absorbing touch
renders Gambit comatose. Having
absorbed some secret haunting
memories, she needs to get away from
the X-Men and Iceman volunteers to join
her on a road trip, though at the same
time he was starting to see visions of
Emma Frost. When Gambit awoke from
his coma, he tracked them down and
confronted Rogue about what she saw in
his mind. She broke off their relationship
officially and left for good. Iceman and
Gambit returned to the X-Men.[48]
When the entity known as Onslaught first

appeared, Iceman was chosen as one of
his test subjects, along with Storm,
Cyclops and Wolverine. They were pitted
against a servant of Onslaught named
Post, in a specific battle area of harsh
environment to test the extent of their
abilities. They won and were returned to
the mansion. However, Iceman's chest
had been shattered in his ice form during
battle, making it impossible to change
back to human form.[49] He confronted
Emma Frost and demanded to know what
she did to his powers in his body and
how to save himself. She refused to help
since she knew that Bobby would have to
do it himself. When he captured her with
his ice powers, she telepathically showed
him his insecurities. By confronting Opal
and his father in her simulation, Iceman
realized that Emma was right and
managed to transform back to his human
body with his chest fully intact.[50]
When Graydon Creed was running for

President (with a heavy anti mutant
campaign), Bobby was chosen to
infiltrate in the campaign. His father stood
out in a crowd and spoke in favor of the
mutants, which came as a surprise to
Bobby. His father's connection with
Bobby was discovered, so the people
that worked for Graydon captured him
and almost beat him to death. Bobby
decided to stay away from the X-Men for
a while to be with his dad.[51]
Zero Tolerance came across and Bobby

found and helped Cecilia Reyes who was
trying to keep a secret that she was a
mutant. They also joined with Charlotte
Jones and the morlock Marrow. After
Bastion was defeated, he took Cecilia
and Marrow to the mansion, and soon left
the X-Men again for a while to be with his
parents.[52]
Much later, the X-Men found evidence in

one of Destiny's journals of a group
known as the Twelve, including Xavier,
Magneto, Cyclops, Phoenix, Iceman,
Polaris, Storm, Cable, Bishop, Sunfire,
Mikhail Rasputin and the Living Monolith.
They also learned that the Apocalypse's
Horsemen had been kidnapping these
mutants from around the globe. Iceman
was captured in the woods near his home
by Deathbird, who had become the
Horseman War.[53] Gathering the
remaining Twelve, the X-Men traveled to
Egypt and confronted Apocalypse and
the Skrulls. Apocalypse and his forces
captured all of the Twelve during the
battle, using them in a ritual to give the
Chaos-Bringer a new body and incredible
power. Magneto and Polaris created
opposite magnetic polarities, Iceman,
Storm, and Sunfire provided elemental
extremes, Cyclops, Phoenix, and Cable
gave the sheer power of family, Xavier
represented the power of mind and
Bishop and Mikhail stood for time and
space, while the Monolith linked all their
energies together. Nate Grey was to be
Apocalypse's new host, a powerhouse to
store his massive lifeforce. The Twelve
managed to free themselves and Cyclops
sacrificed his own body and lifeforce to
keep Apocalypse from getting Nate.
Though the new Apocalypse was
defeated, Cyclops seemed lost
forever.[54]
After that incident, Iceman helped the

Beast to secretly enter Genosha, as he
wanted to study the legacy-infected
mutates. When the High Evolutionary
released his anti-mutation wave, they
were trapped in the war-ravaged country.
With the aid of Magneto, they escaped
and joined forces with the rest of the
scattered X-Men. They raided the
Evolutionary's satellite, disabled the
mutation field and defeated Sinister, who
had been manipulating the
Evolutionary.[55][56][57]
Iceman was recruited by the living ship

Prosh, along with other mutants, like
Jean Grey, Mystique, Toad and
Juggernaut, to preserve evolution and
save it. In this journey Iceman developed
his powers even further, which led him to
no longer be afraid of the natural course
of his powers and he returned to the X-
Men.[58] He joined a new team of X-Men,
consisting of Angel, Nightcrawler,
Wolverine and Chamber. He was using
his abilities in a whole new way now, just
channeling the power and not turning his
body into ice.[59]
Second mutation
During a heated battle with a recently

evolved Black Tom Cassidy, he received
a chest wound. After returning to normal
his chest did not fully recover and some
parts of it remained icy, and he was
unable to return them to normal. At first
he became afraid of it but in time it made
him gain a new attitude in life, even rude
at some times.[60]
Nobody seemed to realize it at the time,
but evidently this was an early sign of
Iceman undergoing a secondary mutation
of his own. When he repeatedly tried to
evade his regular medical check-ups,
school nurse Annie Ghazikhanian
recognized that something odd was
going on with him and pressured him to
show her the wound. Bobby made her
promise not to tell anyone and showed
her that parts of his chest are now made
of ice and he is unable to change them
back to flesh and blood. Iceman wonders
if he will entirely turn into ice on a
permanent basis.[61]
He developed an attitude that, to some of
the newer addition to the X-Men, like
Stacy X, Juggernaut and Northstar, he
comes across as rather arrogant,
denouncing their status as team
members, as they have not been around
as long as he. Iceman even went as far as
offending Nightcrawler by claiming that
only the original five, and no one else, has
the right to call themselves an X-Man.[62]
Bobby was further frustrated when Havok

and Polaris announced their imminent
wedding, him having carried a torch for
Lorna for quite some time. In his
frustration he turned to Annie, who had
problems with the wedding too, as she
was secretly in love with Havok. The
nurse surprised him with the accusation
of him being a racist - feeling comfortable
as a mutant who could pass like a human
when needed, opposed to being a fully
obvious mutant or a "mere" human. With
his secondary mutation manifesting,
though, Iceman was in danger of losing
this status. Shocked by the truth of her
words, Bobby fully opened up about his
fears, that as a man fully made of ice he
could never feel the warmth of a physical
relationship again. Touched, Annie
allowed him to kiss her, but when Havok
called off the wedding, wanting to be with
Annie instead, she quickly dumped
Bobby.[63]
Upon encountering Azazel and his

followers, Iceman's body is shattered
from the neck down. Afterward, he
regains his entire ice form, but cannot
change back to his human appearance.
As a result, Bobby becomes both bitter
and despondent because of this drastic
change.[64]
Rogue's Team
Iceman joins Rogue's team after she tells

him that she wants him as a member.
They develop a romantic relationship
after she and Gambit break up. Their first
mission as a team is to fight a new threat,
a powerful group known as the Children
of the Vault.[65] The team is successful
and during this time, Bobby learns that he
can be completely destroyed but then
pull himself back together again. It was
shown several times during the arc.
The next mission for the team was to

locate a man called Pandemic and defeat
him. The team was again successful, but
Rogue was infected with a virus called
Strain 88. Cable took the team, including
Bobby, to his island so Rogue could get
treatment.[66]
While on Cable's island, the team and

Iceman began working to defeat the
Shi'ar weapon known as the Hecatomb.
During the chaos, he shared a passionate
kiss with Mystique.[67] Even as he did so,
he saved many lives by containing the
explosion of the Conquistador, and, later,
the Hecatomb itself.[68]
Blinded by the Light
As the team recovers from Hecatomb

attack in Rogue's childhood home, it
appears that Mystique and Iceman begin
a romantic relationship.[69] This was a
front, as Mystique was using Iceman and
the X-Men as a Marauder spy for Mister
Sinister.[70] Marauders soon infiltrated the
house; they attempt to gain access to
Destiny's Diaries on the order of Mr.
Sinister (who has been gathering
information about the future from
anybody and anything that could foretell
the future). Bobby and Cannonball
escape from the Marauders in the X-Jet,
with help from Emma Frost. They are
pursued by Sunfire; they manage to get
the better of him and take him prisoner,
but not before he manages to cripple the
jet. While Sunfire is unconscious, Iceman
and Sam discuss the Mauraders' plan to
eliminate all precognitive mutants and
anyone with knowledge of the future as
well as retrieving Destiny's Diaries before
the Marauders can. During this time,
Bobby displayed sub-atomic control of
energy transfers when he prevented
Sunfire from using his fire-based
powers.[71]
Cannonball and Bobby, telepathically

prompted by Emma Frost, attempt to
recover the diaries which are hidden in a
dilapidated brewery. Mr. Sinister uses the
reverse-engineered version of Xavier's
Cerebro to track the pair of X-Men to the
brewery. The Marauders attack
Cannonball and Iceman and overtake
them. Bobby, while in his ice form, suffers
a gunshot wound from Mystique, which
severs one of his arms above the elbow.
Mister Sinister, who takes Cannonball
prisoner, attempts to telepathically erase
his mind so that the X-Men will find him
as an empty shell. Iceman attacks
Sinister, distracting him, which allows
both of the X-Men to escape.[72]
Messiah Complex
The New X-Men team decided to raid the
headquarters of the Purifiers in
Washington, D.C., but were forced to
retreat. Pixie teleported them back to the
mansion in a rush, but the entire team
was scattered between D.C. and
Westchester. Iceman, after recovering
from his injuries, volunteered to go look
for them and was given telepathic
directions by Emma Frost.[73]
Iceman was successful in finding the New

X-Men, most of them injured. On the way
back, they found that the O*N*E*
Sentinels guarding the Xavier Institute
had become infected by nano-Sentinels
and attacked the school. Iceman and
New X-Man X-23 helped out in the battle
with the O*N*E* Sentinels. With the help
of Dust and X-23, the X-Men were able to
survive this battle but the nano-Sentinel
infected human escaped.[74]
Soon, Iceman participated in the final

battle against the Marauders, the
Acolytes, and Predator X. He was one of
the X-Men who came running in to fight
Predator X after it swallowed Wolverine
whole. However, he also witnesses his
mentor, Professor Xavier, "killed" by
Bishop's bullet, which was not meant for
him.[75]
Divided We Stand
Iceman arrives in San Francisco, where

he was set to meet Hepzibah, Warpath,
and Angel. All four are caught in the
effects of a citywide illusion created by
Martinique Jason, who used her powers
to transform the city into a hippie
paradise.[76] Now calling himself "Frosty",
he and the others are sent by Martinique
to confront Scott Summers and Emma
Frost.[77] Emma Frost is able to break up
the illusion and free everyone. They
eventually set up their base of operations
in San Francisco as X-Men.[78]
Secret Invasion and Utopia
Iceman is one of the X-Men that assists in

fighting the Skrull invasion in San
Francisco.[79]
Iceman rescues Colossus from Venom[80]

and is later made a part of a team to
battle Emma Frost's Dark X-Men.[81]
During the final battle on Utopia, Iceman
teams up with the X-Students to take on
Mimic.[82] Iceman had the labor of
providing water to the population. He
attempted to use humor to keep
everyone's spirits up even though he
believed that the situation was helpless
and that the X-Men were living in the last
days of mutantkind. Bobby then helped
defeat Predator X and also helped stop
Selene's resurrected army's invasion of
Utopia.
Second Coming
During the battle with Bastion's Nimrod

Sentinels, Iceman is severely injured
following an attack from one of them that
reversed his ice form and left him with
burns on his body.[83] He is only there for
a short time because his mutant powers
help him minimize the injuries he suffered
and he is seen back in battle alongside
Psylocke and the other X-Men.[84]
Post Schism
Early solicitations show that after

Wolverine and Cyclops have a major
falling out, Wolverine decides to branch
off and open The Jean Grey School for
Higher Learning back in New York.
Iceman is the first person Wolverine
approaches and recruits to his new X-
Men squad as both a professor and
teammate. Iceman is chosen because
Wolverine feels he has the kind of spirit
the new school needs.[85][86][87] He also
has an off-and-on romantic relationship
with Kitty Pryde.[88]
Extraordinary X-Men
When the Terrigen became toxic for

mutants, Iceman was one of the recruits
in Storm's new team dedicated to
protecting mutants from the Terrigen by
leading them to X-haven.[89] Iceman
mostly works alongside Nightcrawler,
helping him search for Colossus after he
is transformed into one of Apocalypse's
new horsemen.[90] Iceman and
Nightcrawler manage to track Colossus
to Egypt, where he ambushes them and
almost kills them until another squad of
X-Men comes in to help.[91] After that
Iceman joins the X-Men when they
declare war against the Inhumans after
discovering that in a matter of weeks the
Terrigen will render earth as completely
uninhabitable for mutants.[92]
Fantastic Four Returns
Iceman is one of the few heroes

summoned by Mr. Fantastic to help the
Future Foundation against the villainous
being known as the Griever. However,
Iceman is not one of the few heroes who
were part of Fantastic Four's expanded
members, when one of the original four,
Human Torch noticed his presence
during the battle. Iceman claims that he
was with the Fantastic Four in an "untold
story" during the Atlantean's past
invasion led by Namor, but Human Torch
replies that story Iceman made-up was
"not-canon".[93]
Time-displaced Iceman
All-New X-Men
The young time-displaced Iceman by Stuart
Immonen
Following the war with the Phoenix Five,

as Cyclops begins to lash out against
government oppression of mutants, a
chance comment by Bobby about how
the old Cyclops wouldn't tolerate what he
is currently doing inspires Beast to travel
back in time and recruit the original five
X-Men to stop Cyclops.[94] The team
decides to stay in the present instead of
returning into the past. They are now
called the All-New X-Men and led by Kitty
Pryde. The past and present Bobby are
particularly shocked when they see each
other. The younger Bobby is especially
shocked by the older Bobby's Omega
level powers, like creating ice golems,
and especially his future "Ice Wizard" self
in the Battle of the Atom.[95] Eventually he
and the All-New X-Men and the
Guardians of the Galaxy travel to the
Shiar Empire to rescue Jean Grey from a
trial for the genocide that her future Dark
Phoenix self committed. The team is then
teleported into the Ultimate Marvel
universe, where he stumbles into Mole
Man's lair. He proudly creates his first ice
golem in order to escape.
Returning to their universe, the team are

reunited with Cyclops when they are
called upon to aid the Guardians of the
Galaxy again in retrieving the fabled
Black Vortex. Cyclops, Iceman and Groot
become superpowered by the Vortex
before returning it to Captain Marvel.
Later, the younger, time-displaced Bobby

is forced to confront being gay by his
teammate, Jean, who privately asks him
why he calls women "hot", when she
knows via her psychic abilities that he is
gay. This causes the younger Bobby to
speculate as to the complicated identity
issues faced by his older self and the
decisions his older self may have made in
the time between them.[96] Together with
the young Jean, the young Bobby
confronts his older self, who admits to
being gay, having 'concealed' that part of
himself so that he could have avoid being
prejudiced against for another part of
himself.[97]
RessurXion
After the X-Men's war against the
Inhumans for the Terrigen ends, Iceman
joins the rest of the young X-Men on an
attempted return to their original timeline
but they quickly realize that theirs isn't
part of the Earth 616 timeline, leaving
them stuck in that present time with no
knowledge where they were originally
from.[98] Upon learning this, Iceman joins
the rest of the young X-Men and leaves
the rest of the X-Men to find their place in
the world.[99] Iceman then joins Magneto
in Madripoor along with the rest of the
time-displaced X-Men; however, due to a
lack of trust in their new leader, the X-
Men make plans and train in case
Magneto returns to his former villainous
ways to kill them. Instead of training with
his teammates, Iceman spends most of
his time trying to reach out to his new
Inhuman boyfriend Romeo
unsuccessfully, placing him into a
stupor.[100]
Powers and abilities

Iceman creates an ice slide on the cover of X-Factor
#27 (1988). Art by Walt Simonson.
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 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. Iceman 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, such as
miniature cities.[47] 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."[101] Iceman has yet to tap into his
full mutant potential, but over the years
he has taken more interest in developing
his abilities.
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.[67][102] 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
they extend 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.[103] Iceman is also able to
dissolve his own icy constructs.[47]
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.[104] 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.[50] Instead he turned to Storm
because they share similar elemental
powers and she agreed to tutor him.[105]
When Iceman was injected with Mister

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.[106]
During the 2013–2014 "Battle of the

Atom" storyline, Iceman's future self
revealed that he has the ability to create
semi-independent ice structures that can
act on their own,[107] although one of
these structures—demonstrating a Hulk-
like physique and intellect—has gone on
to join the future version of the
Brotherhood.[108]
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 taken as much
combat training as Cyclops or Beast.[101]
Characterization
Personality
According to writer Mike Carey "one of
Iceman's best personality traits is that
emotionally Bobby Drake is like the ice he
manipulates -- not cold but transparent.
'He's devastatingly honest. He is very up-
front with his emotions and his thoughts
all the time.'"[101] "Also, he's obviously
incredibly brave both in terms of facing
external, physical danger as well as
facing up to unpleasant situations and
admitting his own mistakes."[101]
Friendships and relationships

Iceman had a brief relationship with a
Japanese-American New Yorker named
Opal. He subsequently exhibited strong
feelings for his fellow X-Man Polaris, but
she did not return those feelings, due to
her feelings towards Havok. Northstar
developed an unrequited crush for
Iceman during their time on the same
team, though Iceman never did find out
about this.[61] Iceman later had a brief
relationship with the Xavier School's
nurse, Annie, but she eventually left him
for Havok, who had just left Polaris at the
altar.[63] When Iceman attempted to
rekindle his relationship with Polaris, that
too ended abruptly, and Polaris returned
to Havok.[64] Iceman then had a
relationship with the X-Men's enemy
Mystique, who later betrayed him,
despite her continued fixation on him, in
as much as she stated that she would
either kill him or cure him of his personal
uncertainty.[106]
Sexuality
In All-New X-Men #40, the time-displaced

Iceman is revealed to be gay, which
eventually forces the youth to confront
the adult version of himself about the
matter. As both speak, the adult Iceman
confirms the fact and that he had put all
his energy into just being an X-Man as he
couldn't cope with being a mutant and
gay simultaneously. With the help of his
younger self and Jean Grey, however, he
finally comes to terms with his own
sexuality,[97] and comes out to fellow gay
X-Man Anole in Extraordinary X-Men #6.
The end of the Extermination X-Men
event saw the forcing of the time
displaced version of Bobby back into the
closet when he returned to his original
timeline alongside the other X-Men, due
to a mind lock by Jean Grey, even though
the current version retains his memories
and remains an out gay man.[109]
Other versions
1602
Iceman is Roberto Trefusis in the

miniseries Marvel 1602, a member of the
group of "witchbreeds" founded by
Carlos Javier and led by Scotius
Summerisle. He is the nephew of naval
commander Sir Francis Drake. As in the
Marvel Universe, he generates ice and
can assume a physical ice form.
"Age of Apocalypse"
In the "Age of Apocalypse" storyline,

Bobby, along with the rest of the X-Men,
is trained by Magneto.[110] Because
Magneto is harder on his students than
Professor X, Bobby lacks his 616-
counterpart's sense of humor. Instead,
Bobby becomes very cold and inhuman,
making his teammates feel
uncomfortable. In addition to his normal
abilities, Bobby is capable of breaking
down his body and merging it with
another body of water to travel great
distances in a matter of seconds. He can
bring others along through a process that
he calls "moisture molecular inversion",
though it is a painful process for the
passengers. Bobby is also able to
reconstitute his body from broken pieces.
Just before Apocalypse's defeat,
Colossus stormed right through Iceman,
causing him to fall into pieces in an
attempt to reach his sister. A couple of
months later, Iceman, Exodus, Wild Child,
and Morph were sent on a secret mission
by Magneto; for a time, only Wild Child's
fate was revealed.
Iceman returned in the Uncanny X-Force

arc "The Dark Angel Saga", when the title
team was forced to travel to the AoA
reality.[111] He abandoned the X-Men
during a battle with the minions of
Weapon X, who had by this time been
transformed into that world's new
Apocalypse, a defection later revealed to
be the result of Iceman's having lost faith
in his X-Men's ability to save their world.
He was soon brought to Earth-616 by the
Dark Beast, where he joined forces with
Archangel on his quest to eradicate all life
on Earth so he could create a new
evolution process. Tired of seeing the
people he cared about being killed
fighting what he thought to be an
unwinnable war, Drake agreed to help
Archangel - despite the latter's now being
the mainstream Marvel Universe's version
of Drake's X-Men's arch-enemy,
Apocalypse - in exchange for transport to
the relative paradise that was Earth-616.
After X-Force defeated Archangel, Bobby
managed to escape with McCoy and
most of Archangel's other minions, but
eventually broke away from them and
went into hiding, living a life of hedonistic
bliss in Madripoor. The "Age of
Apocalypse" version of Nightcrawler -
who, after being brought to Earth-616
along with the rest of his world's X-Men
to help take down Archangel, decided to
stay behind there in order to track down
and kill the various villains who also came
to the mainstream Marvel Universe -
eventually tracked Bobby down to
execute him for his treason. Nightcrawler
is quickly overwhelmed by Drake's
avatars, but eventually forces Iceman into
a factory boiler room, where there's not
enough moisture in the air for him to
effectively use his powers. Nightcrawler
quickly disables his former friend, and
shoves him into an incinerator, killing the
once noble hero.
Earth X
During the miniseries Earth X, Bobby had

become trapped in his ice form, making
him vulnerable to melting. He moves to
the Arctic regions of Earth, and made an
ice city for himself and the Inuit. Due to a
series of events where Earth's orbital
path moves, Bobby is able to return to
the United States to aid in the battle
against the demon Mephisto.
"House of M"
In the alternate timeline of the "House of

M" storyline, Iceman was seen in
Magneto's army during his rise to
power.[112] Bobby later appears as one of
the Horsemen of Apocalypse because
Apocalypse rescued Bobby from a
mutant internment camp that his parents
had sent him to. Magneto sends
Apocalypse to dispose of his rival Black
Panther; when Apocalypse is attacked en
route by Black Panther's allies, Iceman
aids him by freezing Namor solid and
attempting to attack Storm, but he is
severely injured by Sunfire.[113]
Marvel Zombies
A zombified Iceman appears in Marvel

Zombies: Dead Days alongside zombies
Wolverine and Cyclops. Ultimately, he is
seen attacking Magneto. But Iceman
perished at the hands of the Master Of
Magnetism himself when Iceman is cut
apart.
Mutant X
In the Mutant X universe, the Asgardian
god Loki amplified Bobby's powers to a
dangerous level, leaving him unable to
touch any living thing without killing it.
Despite this, he retains a jovial and
optimistic personality. When Havok has a
disagreement with Magneto and decides
to leave the X-Men, Ice-Man is one of
those who follow him, becoming a
founding member of the Six, who
eventually come to be considered the
world's premiere mutant team.[114]
New Exiles
After the New Exiles land on the world of
warring empires, they encounter Dame
Emma Frost, head of Britain's
Department X and founder of Force-X.
This team includes Roberta "Bobby"
Drake, a female version of Bobby who is
codenamed Aurion and displays ice-
based abilities.[115]
"Battle of the Atom"
In the alternate future witnessed in the

"Battle of the Atom" storyline, Iceman's
future self is shown in a long brown robe
with a long beard and ice staff. He has
also developed the ability to create semi-
independent ice structures that can act
on their own, although one of these
structures - demonstrating a Hulk-like
physique and intellect - has gone on to
join the future version of the Brotherhood,
resulting in the Brotherhood using the
duplicate to reinforce the illusion of
themselves as the future X-Men. The
duplicate Iceman was defeated by the O5
Iceman, the present Iceman, and the
future Iceman during the battle in the past
(Prompting the youngest Iceman to note
that they only needed one more Iceman
for a five-a-side basketball team).[107]
Ronin
In the alternate reality of X-Men: Ronin
Iceman is a murderous ninja in the
employ of the Hellfire Club. He works with
Pyro and Avalanche as part of the
'Shadowcat Clan' and battles the X-Men.
Shadow-X
New Excalibur battles an evil counterpart

of Iceman, who is a member of the
Shadow-X, the X-Men of an alternate
reality in which Professor X was
possessed by the Shadow King. They are
brought to Earth-616 as a result of M-
Day. He appeared to be mute and died
during the final battle against Albion.
Spider-Verse
In Edge of Spider-verse: Web of Fear, a

Spider-Man who is a member of the
Captain Britain Corps witnesses Morlun
about to kill Spider-Man. Later, a larger
picture is shown of Firestar and Iceman
lying dead, with Ms. Lion being left out,
mourning her comrades.[116]
Marvel Noir
Iceman appears in X-Men Noir as one of

the X Men, a crew of talented criminals.
He is depicted as being very short-
tempered and paranoid. He is dubbed
"Iceman", and angrily insists others refer
to him that way, due to his custom of
using an icepick as a weapon.[117]
Ultimate Marvel
In the Ultimate Marvel continuity, Bobby

Drake is the youngest founding member
of the X-Men. He ran away from his family
at the peak of government-supported
Sentinel attacks, fearing his family would
be killed in such an attack.
Ultimate Iceman never had the snowman

look of his counterpart, instead
generating a flexible ice armor from the
beginning. Bobby establishes himself as
a valuable asset, singlehandedly taking
out the Ultimates once with a gigantic ice
wall (see Ultimate War), as well as
singlehandedly halting an invasion by
Colonel Wraith and Weapon X. He was
only able to be stopped by Rogue, who
was in temporary possession of Marvel
Girl's telepathy. Professor X has stated
that Bobby is one of the three most
powerful X-Men. During the World Tour
arc, after enlarging his armor to form a
gigantic ice troll, Bobby is greatly injured
by Proteus, which resulted in a lawsuit
issued by his parents against Xavier.
Bobby eventually rebels against his
parents, and later returns to the X-Men.
While Bobby was away from the X-Men

on a vacation, he had a girlfriend, but
Professor Xavier erased all memories of
her from Bobby's mind when he told her
too much about the X-Men (he
presumably also erased the girl's
memories). Upon her acceptance into the
X-Men, Bobby begins to date Rogue. The
pair date for a considerable amount of
time, but eventually break up due to
Bobby's growing feelings for Shadowcat
and Rogue's feelings for Gambit.
Eventually Rogue leaves, and Bobby
starts to date Kitty. After this, the two
rekindle their relationship, but problems
erupted.
In Ultimate X-Men #80, Bishop and

Hammer, time-travellers from the future,
comment on how powerful Bobby will
one day become.[118] Cyclops disbanded
the X-Men in Ultimate X-Men #81 and
Bishop and Storm created a new team.
Iceman stayed at the Institute as a
student only until Xavier returned and
reformed his X-Men.[119]
Professor X is later revealed to be alive

and the X-Men return to the Xavier
Institute, which is also when Iceman
rejoins the X-Men line up. Jean Grey soon
discovers that fellow X-Man, Colossus, is
using a drug called Banshee to enhance
his mutant abilities. The X-Men are highly
against this, but Colossus manages to
convince Rogue, Dazzler, Angel,
Nightcrawler, and Cyclops to join him on
his own X-Men team. Iceman remains on
Professor X's drug-free X-Men and fights
the Banshee enhanced X-Men. Xavier's
X-Men win and the two teams combine
again with nobody using drugs.[120]
The Ultimatum Wave hits the X-Men next

killing several of the X-Men (Beast,
Dazzler, and Nightcrawler). Magneto and
the Brotherhood attack the world and
Iceman helps the world's heroes fight
them off. Most of the X-Men die, but
Iceman (alongside Rogue, Storm,
Colossus, and Jean Grey) is able to
survive Magneto's attack. He is last seen
demolishing the X-Mansion alongside
Rogue and Jean Grey and burying the
deceased X-Men in its place. He finds it
hard to destroy their home, but he feels it
to be the right thing to do now that
Professor Xavier is dead.[121]
Later, Bobby Drake is kicked out of his

home for being a mutant. With nowhere
else to go, Kitty suggests to Peter
Parkers' Aunt May that he move in with
her, Peter, Gwen Stacy, and Johnny
Storm (who also recently moved in their
household). Aunt May agrees and enrolls
Bobby at Midtown High under the guise
of Bobby Parker, one of Peters' cousins
and shaves his hair off to help keep his,
Peter's and Johnny's secret identities
safe.
Without knowing where to go after

Peter's death, Bobby Drake asked Kitty
Pride if Johhny could come with them
searching for a place where to live and
hide from authorities. They found the
Morlock Tunnels where they live now and
help mutants in danger. Firstly they
rescued Rogue, who joined them, and
later Jimmy Hudson (the son of
Wolverine), came to them for help after
escaping Stryker's imprisonment along
with other mutants he freed.
X-Men Fairy Tales
In X-Men Fairy Tales (issue #1), Iceman

appears as a white wolf with icy breath
named Kori (Japanese for ice). Before he
is reached by Cyclops, he appears to
have lost faith in friendship.
X-Men: The End
In X-Men: The End, Iceman appears as

one of the instrumental characters in the
defeat of Cassandra Nova and Khan and
one of the few surviving X-Men.
In other media
Television
Iceman as he appeared in Spider-Man and His

Amazing Friends.
Iceman's first television appearance
was in the 1966 The Sub-Mariner
portion of The Marvel Super Heroes
episode "Dr. Dooms Day".
Iceman was one of the three main
characters in the animated series
Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends,
voiced by Frank Welker. In a few
episodes, he appears with his and
Firestar's former teammates, the X-
Men. In the episode "Vengeance Of
Loki", he's revealed to be a
government agent; his codename is
"Windchill Factor Zero". In the episode
"Mission: Save The Guardstar", Aurora
Dante (Lightwave) (his half-sister) was
introduced. One entire episode was
devoted to Iceman's origin story.
Throughout the series, Iceman has a
romantic infatuation with Firestar.
He appeared in the 1992 X-Men
animated series, voiced by Dennis
Akayama. He appears in the episode
"Cold Comfort" as a former member of
the team, who quit due to
disagreements with Xavier. Iceman also
appears in many flashbacks which
include "Sanctuary Part 1" and "Xavier
Remembers".
He appeared in the X-Men: Evolution
animated series, voiced by Andrew
Francis. Iceman was meant to be the
8th X-Man of the show, but rejected in
favor of Spyke. Not surprisingly,
Iceman appeared more often when
Spyke left. In the series, Iceman was a
New Mutant and often acted as the
unofficial leader of the New Mutants, as
he was the most adept of the group.
Iceman appears in Wolverine and the
X-Men, voiced by Yuri Lowenthal. He
appears as a member of the X-Men
who left after Professor X went M.I.A.
after the Institute was destroyed.
Wolverine and Beast went to re-recruit
him back on to the X-Men but his
parents refused to allow him to return
to the team after what happened. Being
18, Bobby had the choice to either stay
at home or return to the X-Men and he
made the choice to rejoin the team.
Since he is still in his teens, he's shown
at times acting like a typical teenage
boy (such as his facial expression after
Emma Frost walks by him in episode
3). He is also not fond of reading and is
a bit lazy as he was napping on a pile
of books instead of giving them to Kitty
to put away. He apparently has a crush
on Shadowcat, as he is caught staring
at her dreamily before asking her out
for a bite to eat (although they were
already eating). It is also hinted she
may share those feelings, as in episode
3 when Kitty elbows him for looking at
Emma. In episode 20, someone similar
to Iceman is shown as a member of the
original five X-Men.[122]
Iceman appears in the episode of The
Super Hero Squad Show titled
"Mysterious Mayhem at Mutant
Academy", with Shawn Ashmore
reprising his role as the character from
the live action X-Men films. He is
shown as a student at Xavier Academy
and classified as the class clown. He
has a starring role in the later episode
"The Ice Melt Cometh" where he is
needed to re-freeze the melted polar
ice caps.[123]
Film
Bobby Drake/Iceman as portrayed by Shawn

Ashmore in X-Men: The Last Stand
In the films, X-Men, X2, X-Men: The Last

Stand, and X-Men: Days of Future Past,
he is played by Shawn Ashmore. Bobby
is one of the first students to reach out to
Rogue and begins a romantic relationship
with her. In X2, he has an uneasy
friendship/rivalry with Pyro. His
relationship with his family is also
strained, and his brother actually turns
Bobby in to the police out of jealousy. In
X-Men: The Last Stand, his relationship
with Rogue appears to be deteriorating,
strained by their inability to have physical
contact and by his close friendship with
Kitty Pryde. During a battle with Pyro,
now working for Magneto's Brotherhood,
he achieves the ability to transform into
his ice form from the comics. In the
original dystopian timeline of X-Men:
Days of Future Past,[124] Iceman is more
powerful, transforming into ice and
travelling on ice slides, but is
nevertheless killed while fighting the
Sentinels. After Kitty and Wolverine
change the timeline, Iceman is seen once
again in a relationship with Rogue at the
Xavier Mansion. Bobby's scenes vary in
the Days of Future Past known as The
Rogue Cut, where he is killed by
Sentinels while helping Rogue and
Magneto to escape.[125]
Novels
In the novelization for X-Men: The Last
Stand, Iceman saves Pyro from the
destruction of Dark Phoenix.
Video games
Iceman makes an appearance as a

bonus level boss in the 1997 Fantastic
Four game.
Iceman has appeared in various video
game adaptations, such as X-Men:
Children of the Atom and the
subsequent Marvel vs. Capcom 2.
Notably, he is the only character in the
game immune to chip damage from
beam and fireball projectiles, however
War Machine's missiles are able to chip
him.
He also has appeared as a playable
character in X-Men Legends, voiced by
Darren Scott.[126] His skills could be
improved in either ranged combat (ice
beam, ice shards) or melee combat
(improved ice armor, ice fists). He can
"fly" for short distances as his double-
jump move allows him to use his ice
slides.
Iceman appears as a playable
character in X-Men Legends II: Rise of
Apocalypse, voiced by James Arnold
Taylor.[126] He has special dialogue with
Grizzly. His powers include damaging
frost attacks, ice fists, and strong
melee combat.
Iceman is one of the three playable
characters in X-Men: The Official Game
(which fills in the gap between X2: X-
Men United and X-Men: The Last
Stand), voiced by Shawn Ashmore (the
same actor who played him in the
films).
Iceman appears in Marvel: Ultimate
Alliance as a playable character,
retaining many of his moves from the
Legends games, and voiced again by
James Arnold Taylor.[126] His Age of
Apocalypse appearance (referred to as
Spikey), classic costume (his standard
look), original costume (his first comic
appearances, with his face completely
frosted over), and Bobby Drake (the
look he adopts in the New X-Men
series and his subsequent solo series:
he appears in his human form, wearing
a leather trenchcoat, with only his
hands appearing frozen) are alternate
costumes for Iceman. In this game, he
retains his X-Men Legends abilities, like
that of creating ice slides instead of
double-jumping. He has special
dialogue with Black Widow, Namor
(when he's sick), Namorita, Professor
X, Gladiator, Henry Pym, and Ymir.
Also, at the beginning of Mephisto's
Realm, he complains to Xavier about
being in Mephisto's Realm (due to all
the fire and lava). A simulation disk has
Iceman fighting Mysterio in Mephisto's
Realm and another one has Storm
defending him and Wolverine from
Hussar in Murderworld.[127]
character in Marvel: Ultimate Alliance 2,
voiced by Adam Bobrow.[128]
Amongst many other mutants, Drake is
