First Name: Victor
Last Name: Fries
Alias or Nick-name: Mr Freeze, Mr. Zero
Age: 48
Height/Weight: 6’ 190 lbs.
Eyes: Red
Hair: N/A
Persuasion: Evil
Powers/Weapons: Like most Batman villains, Mr. Freeze plans his crimes about a specific theme; in his case, ice and cold. In darker incarnations of the Batman mythos, Mr. Freeze's obsession with ice stems from personal tragedy, and his crimes are inspired by his desire to make the rest of the world as cold and miserable as he is. He freezes areas around him using special weapons and equipment. His refrigeration suit grants him superhuman strength and durability, making him a powerful villain in Batman's rogues gallery. Some interpretations also suggest that because he has been soaked in the serum he intended to use for cryo-preservation, his age progression has slowed drastically.
History: As a child, freezing animals fascinated Victor Fries. His parents, horrified by his "hobby", sent him to a strict boarding school, where he was miserable, feeling detached from humanity. In college, he met a woman named Nora, whom he befriends and ultimately marries.
Nora later falls terminally ill. Fries took on a job working for a large company run by the ruthless Ferris Boyle. Fries discovered a way to put Nora into cryo-stasis (using company equipment), hoping to sustain her until a cure could be found. Boyle found out about the experiment and attempted to have her brought out of stasis, overruling Fries' frantic objections. A struggle ensues, in which Boyle kicked Fries into a table full of chemicals and left him for dead. Fries survived, but his body temperature were lowered dramatically; he can now only live at sub-zero temperatures, forced to wear a special refrigerating suit to stay alive. As Mr. Freeze, he used cryonic technology to create a gun, which fires a beam that freezes any target within its range.
His first act as a costumed criminal was to take revenge upon Ferris Boyle, a plan with which Batman interfered. Mr. Freeze fired his freeze-gun at Batman, but he dodges, causing the beam to shatter Nora's capsule. Freeze blamed Batman, and swore to destroy whatever the Dark Knight held dear (mainly Gotham City, and eventually Robin.)
Mr. Freeze's crimes tend to involve freezing everyone and everything he runs into. In addition, he hardly ever forges alliances with the other criminals in Gotham, preferring to work alone, although he has worked as a hired enforcer/hitman for the Black Mask. Once, in the hopes of reviving his wife, he allies himself with the Secret Society of Super Villains, fashioning for Nyssa al Ghul a sub-zero machine in exchange for the use of her own Lazarus Pit. He attempts to bring her back without waiting for the adjusting needed in the pool chemicals, however; she returns to life as the twisted Lazara, and escapes. She blames her husband for her plight, and estranges herself from him.
He is usually imprisoned in Arkham Asylum when apprehended by Batman, as it is the only facility in Gotham that can accommodate his medical requirements for a refrigerated cell.
