[edit] Affliations, House of M, Omega Level

Added a complete list of Icemans previous affliations. --Zib 10:12, 24 December 2005 (UTC)

Linked House of M page to this one --Zib 10:04, 24 December 2005 (UTC)

added the fact that he is an Omega level mutant.--Zib 09:53, 24 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Other Media

I added a few notes into the "Other Media" section. Noting Iceman and Rogue's relationship in X2 (a contrast to the typical Rogue and Gambit of the comics) and his strength in the X-Men Legends game.

[edit] Deformation

Can we get another Iceman picture? That one is completely hideous and makes him look more like some sort of down syndrome elemental than Iceman. And isn't even indicative of his current incarnation in either 616 or the Ultimate continuity. TotalTommyTerror 16:22, 12 December 2005 (UTC)

It's from the most recent issue he appeared in (X-Men #178) - SoM 16:54, 12 December 2005 (UTC)
I think it would be better to use an image that is more memorable as Iceman: http://www.marvel.com/universe3zx/images/5/54/Iceman442px.jpg for instance, is the image marvel.com use, and I think it suits much better. Jacobshaven3 09:21, 17 June 2006 (UTC)
I agree with Jacobshaven. The smooth form is better recognized, and is the only one I'm aware of appearing outside the comics. The spiked image should be moved to the "Appearance" section. Maxrandom777 08:48, 23 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] I don't know how to edit.

Can anyone edit this? What if their facts are wrong?

Anyway, Iceman is certainly NOT the only X-men to stay with the team for its entire run.

He (along with Angel, Marvel Girl, Havok and Polaris) quit the team in X-men Vol. 1 #94.

He made a few guest appearances afterwards (during Dave Cockrum's 2nd run, for example), but he didn't become an official member of the team again until Uncanny X-men #281, or X-men Vol. 2 #1 (both published in June 1991).

"Before Bobby joined the X-Men he had a girlfriend. Unfortunately, Professor Xavier erased all memories of her from Bobby's head when he told her too much about the X-Men"

i fixed this, it was a girl he met while on leave from the school for a weekend or something. Not form before he was an x-man. He erased the encounter from both thier minds, to protect the girl as much as the x-men.T-Man 10:44, 15 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Question about Iceman in the 2nd X-Men Movie

  • In the 2nd X-Men movie, why didn't Bobby Drake save the day at the end instead of Jean Grey?

Couldn't he have just frozen the entire water mass of Alkali Lake, instead of having Jean Grey try to push back the water psionically? This would have stopped the potential flood problem immediately. Thoughts? Smeelgova 05:46, 29 May 2006 (UTC)

He could have, but then they couldn't have the brilliant plot device of Jean dying and coming back as the f*cking Phoenix. But anyway, this isn't a forum.67.142.130.29 21:18, 1 June 2006 (UTC)

Jean was preventing the others from using their powers. And maybe he wasn't that powerful? --DrBat 01:57, 13 June 2006 (UTC)
That's my vote. The Iceman from the regular comics has been getting steadily stronger over a long period of time, whereas the Iceman from the X-flicks isn't nearly as experienced. He didn't even turn to ice until the end of the third film. EVula 02:52, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Know what would be cool?

If, I dunno, we could pick a goddamned picture and keep it. Yeah? Wouldn't that just be awesome?67.142.130.41 02:14, 11 June 2006 (UTC)

Indeed. Agreed. Hopefully something that shows his whole body and has good resulution, too. ACS (Wikipedian) 17:55, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Jewish?

When was it stated he was Jewish? --DrBat 01:56, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

News to me. The only thing I was able to find was The Jewish Supers List. EVula 02:57, 13 June 2006 (UTC)
           I don't remember where it was stated, but Bobby's mother is Jewish.   
           That technically makes Bobby half-Jewish ethnically, but I don't    
           think he practices the religion. I think it's just his ethnic    
           background. Breakaway 18:44, 13 June 2006 (UTC)
If that quote is true, then he is Jewish. The Jewish line follows the mother, so if anyone is born with a Jewish mum (regardless of the fathers religion) the children are Jewish too.Jacobshaven3 09:16, 17 June 2006 (UTC)

Once again the Ultimate characters are their own person. Their becoming a bigger hit than any of the other Ult Universes. Let them be.Mr Wednesday 21:12, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Powers and abilities

Regarding Iceman's powers, it is obvious that there is a lot one can do when one controls temperature and moisture. However, I don't think an entire section entitled "Iceman's Specific Powers" is needed. A good deal of the information was already in the article under the "Powers" section. If there is a power that you don't see on the page, though, I'd try to weave it into the already existing section. These articles are meant to be as small and concise as possible.
