Gaia name: TK-Force
Character Name: Bobby Drake
Codename: Iceman
Alignment: Good, X-Men
Powers: Originally Iceman could lower the temperature of his body and encase himself in an ice armor of varying shape and consistency. He has since gained the ability to turn his entire body into a flexible form of organic ice. He can also freeze the moisture in the air and can create objects such as slides, ladders, and projectiles. He can reform any part of his body in his ice form, and can augment his shape and size. He has demonstrated the ability to animate ice forms by creating figures and through rapid freezing and unfreezing of their structure, and thus creating movement. These figures do not gain intelligence, and he is still in the developmental stage of this ability as it requires much concentration.
When in ice form he is generally translucent, and his appearance ranges from human-like to jagged and geometric. He is also known to add additional ice mass to his shoulders and knuckles (often jagged and sharp) for a fight. In addition to altering his appearance and shape, Bobby can also augment his size(an ability he has used to grow to heights of over 100 feet) . A side effect of this alteration is superhuman strength to match his larger form.
If damaged, he can reform damaged or missing body parts. While physically and mentally taxing, this ability can be used to reform his entire body if necessary, as he has been able to reform himself to ice from sentient water vapor. This ability was taken even farther when he was under Emma Frost's control and he was able to turn himself into sentient liquid, travel in this form through a body of water, and return back to his organic ice form. He has not been able to replicate this ability, however it does suggest that with practice he could shift through any phase of water (and potentially gain new abilities in each of these forms). For a time he was stuck permanently in ice form, however since M-Day has regained his ability to return to human form. Bobby also was at one time a Certified Public Accountant.
Iceman's abilities stem from his ability to psionically manipulate energy and water. It is also important to note that he has been described as an Omega-level mutant, with more than just the ability to create ice. As such, with further development he may reach power levels limited only by his imagination.
Iceman has demonstrated the ability to control chemical reactions involving heat exchange and can prevent people with fire based abilities from using their powers.
As with all the X-Men, Bobby has been trained in unarmed combat, tactics, and resisting mental attacks. During (and after) the " Age of Apocalypse" storyline, it was revealed that Iceman's potential powers included the ability to, in essence, teleport via reverse-freezing molecules, meaning he theoretically can travel instantaneously across oceans when in full control of his abilities. However this method of teleportation has been described as extremely painful for anyone potentially traveling with Bobby.
Bio: Robert Louis Drake "Bobby" was born in Long Island, New York. When he reached puberty his mutant powers first started to manifest, he was in a constant state of cold and trembling, until he managed to keep it under control.
One day he was on a date, when the town bully pushed him away and was trying to make a move on Bobby's date, he was enraged and encased him in a block of ice, his date instead of being grateful was more scared on the fact of being with a mutant and run off.
The people of the town soon heared of the incident and went to Bobby's house, where they started to beat him, the sheriff stopped the mob and imprisoned Bobby, later Cyclops broke into Bobby's cell and offered him a spot in the newly formed team of young mutants, he refused and began a fight with Scott, the mob returned and were now attacking both of the young mutants, Professor X had to stopped the mob using his mental abilities, and offered the spot once more to Bobby, who this time said yes.
Bobby became the second member of the newly formed X-Men.
