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.
Cannonball and Bobby, telepathically prompted by Emma Frost, attempt to recover the diaries which are hidden in a dilapidated brewery. 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. Pixie teleported them back to the mansion in a rush, but the entire team was scattered between D. Iceman, after recovering from his injuries, volunteered to go look for them and was given telepathic directions by Emma Frost. Iceman was successful in finding the New X-Men, most of them injured. With the help of Dust and X, the X-Men were able to survive this battle but the nano-Sentinel infected human escaped.
Unfortunately, he also witnessed his mentor, Professor Xavier, "killed" by Bishop 's bullet that wasn't meant for him. Bobby is questioning his role as a member of the X-Men and contemplating his trip west to San Francisco, but he's not entirely sure what his next move is going to be. He meets up with his ex-girlfriend Opal and discusses the rapid change his relationship with his powers with Beast.
When he entered a plane with Opal to get some tests run a bomb detonates, and Opal reveals herself as Mystique. Iceman subsequently asked if she did so to mess with his head and she replies "No lover, your melting point".
She then shoots him out of the plane. All four are caught in the effects of a city-wide illusion created by Martinique Jason , who used her powers to transform the city into a hippie paradise. 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. During the final battle on Utopia, Iceman teams up with the x-students to take on Mimic. 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 body, 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 Iceman has shown that his power to generate cold is so great, that he was able to stop a fusion core explosion a massive nuclear explosion.
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 the Iceman first began to completely lower his body temperature, this covering took on a more snow-like appearance. But as he learned to increase the severity of his coldness, the covering assumed the consistency of crystalline ice that it has today.
This ice constantly cracks with any movement of his body, and immediately reforms. Hence, there is a cracking sound when the Iceman, covered with ice, moves. Through practice, Iceman has learned to control the intensity of his coldness, and he can selectively lower the temperature of isolated parts of his body. 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. In the past, Iceman has formed ice-ladders, ice-slides, ice-shields, ice-bats and other constructs of ice. Iceman has created constructs of ice so powerful that he was able to easily encase and contain the likes of the Hulk with him being unable to break out of it.
He can make the weather snow or blizzard. Iceman is able to form a rising column of ice beneath his feet, capable of lifting him off the ground. The tensile strength of the column is determined by its thickness, and its steadiness by how well it has been braced. A well-braced and regular column, 6 feet in diameter at its base, is able to support his weight without toppling for about 85 feet in a mile per hour wind.
By forming long ice-ramps connected either to his ice-column or to an existing structure like a building or a bridge, Iceman is able to travel above the ground by sliding down the ramp he is creating.
Unless he creates supports periodically, the ramp will crack beneath him, unable to support their combined weight. Iceman, although, has shown that he is not limited to creating constructs and can fly on his own with his control over moisture.
Iceman has a practically unlimited supply of moisture at all times since it is always present in the surrounding air or environment. Even desert air has sufficient moisture content for him to make practical use of. However, the mental effort needed to employ his mutant power could eventually fatigue him and render his freezing ability temporarily dysfunctional. Hydrokinesis : Iceman can use surrounding moisture to augment himself, and to function as frozen water will allow him to travel within large bodies of the substance almost instantly.
It is accomplished by breaking himself down to his most base levels and reforming at the destination. He will also be able to convert his body to gigantic proportions through absorption of a lake or pond or even a swimming pool.
Wherever there is any moisture, Iceman is a threat. Iceman has the ability to transform himself into nothing more than water vapor, yet remain consciousness and retain the use of his powers. His conscious control over his power is so great, that he has been able to exist at two places at once, and has even exist everywhere at the same time without any physical body as he has transcended such physical limitations.
House of X 1 revealed an updated list of Omega-level mutants , with 10 of the 14 fully aligned with the X-Men. As his code name indicates, Iceman has ice manipulation powers, but his Omega power is distinctly classified as "temperature manipulation. X-Men comics have previously teased just how powerful Iceman truly is, with the first instance occurring when Emma Frost took over his body. Fans have seen Iceman create animated ice drones that he can mentally control, along with other various feats of strength.
However, a traumatic event in Marauders 8 reveals Iceman may be the biggest wild card of all the Omega-level mutants. Emma's power-play greatly upset the Black King, Sebastian Shaw, which caused him to set a trap for Kate. She ultimately drowned after being tied up, with the Marauders unaware of what transpired.
Bishop discovers Kate's body in Marauders 8 and contacts Emma, who in turn assembles the Marauders to rescue the pair from a salvage ship outside of Madripoor. The backup arrives just as Bishop is about to be attacked by the ship's crew, and Iceman makes a dramatic entrance with a display of his Omega powers.
The crew members never stood a chance against a pissed off Iceman. He attacks the villains before they even know what hits them by first rapidly dropping the temperature inside the ship. The crew's gear and the walls of the ship begin to ice over.
Given the classification system is relatively new and a little bit complex, Newsarama breaks down the major mutant power classification categories for you:. Mutant powers classified as 'Epsilon' are on the lowest end of the mutant power spectrum.
These are traditionally non-combative powers - in some cases, it's a physical mutation that doesn't involve a special ability, but in others, it's a non-assuming power with no major effective use. An example of an Epsilon-level mutant would be someone like Artie Maddicks, at least in terms of his physical mutation. His ability to project simple holograms has not been formally classified.
The next level is 'Beta. Rogue's early days as a villain, during which she absorbed the memories and powers of Carol Danvers then Ms. Marvel would be a good example of a portrayal of Beta-level mutant abilities. For many years, Rogue didn't have control of her ability to absorb the powers and memories of others, leading her to harm other people as well as herself.
They have applicable uses and the mutants who possess them to have the ability to control those powers within reasonable limits. A good example of an Alpha-level mutant would be Cyclops, with his ability to emit beams of energy from his eyes. Rogue, who we mentioned was initially classified as a Beta-level mutant early on, gradually learned to use her abilities - and after the events of the story X-Men: Messiah Complex , could control them to the extent that she was reclassified as an Alpha-level mutant.
