MR.FREEZE
Life-story
Dr.Victor Fries was one of Gothcorp's most brilliant scientists and cryogenic researchers whose wife
Nora was infected with a deadly disease, which Victor could not cure. His research in cryogenics was
eventually cut off by the bureaucrats at Gothcorp. His experiment to create a cryogenic freezing chamber
to house his wife until a cure could be found was interrupted by Ferris Boyle, C.E.O. of Gothcorp, and
his security guards. A fight ensued, accompanied by an explosion. In the explosion, Dr.Fries was smashed
into his cryogenic freezing tanks. The accident soaked Dr. Fries's entire body with the freezing solution
and rendered him unable to survive outside of a sub-zero environment. He vowed revenge on those who had
wronged him. He was forced to create a vacuum tight suit which maintained his body temperature at 50
degrees below zero. The suit's cybernetic processor also tripled his strength. After building a
laser-powered cold gun, Mr. Freeze was born.
Driven by hatred over the destruction of his life and maddened by his condition he pursues a life of crime
and vengeance by destroying Ferris Boyle and crippling Gothcorp. His plans are stopped by Batman. Mr.Freeze
becomes bent on destroying Batman since he blocked his mission for revenge. He is a quiet, but dangerous
adversary. Mr.Freeze is an angry and saddened man, who is sentenced to Arkham Asylum when apprehended.
A special cell is designed to maintain his need for a frozen environment. He is alone and his only motivation
comes from his wife's music box, which he holds as his last piece of the happiness he once had. He is viewed
as an loner by the Rogues Gallery, and generally does not hold alliances with any of the other inmates of Arkham
Asylum. Batman knows he is a dangerous adversary, and that the traumas that have occurred in Mr.Freeze's life are
scars which will never heal.
