Line 52:
* The Snow and The Freeze from ''[[Cardcaptor Sakura]]''.
* ''[[Vampire Knight]]'' has Hanabusa Aido, a vampire with ice based powers. He's actually a pretty cool guy most of the time.
* ''[[Fullmetal Alchemist (manga)|Fullmetal Alchemist]]: Brotherhood'' gives us Isaac McDougall, the Freezing Alchemist. However, he's been shown to use not just ice, but high-pressure [[Making a Splash|water]], steam, and [[Bloody Murder|his own blood]]. His favored mode of killing is to freeze or boil all the water in a person's body.
* ''[[Guyver]]'' has Bio-Freezer, a [[No Plans, No Prototype, No Backup|Lost Number]] who can shoot chilling air that can freeze a lake in a few seconds. This has come in handy for the good guys a few times, but since he has otherwise below-average abilities for a Zoanoid and his freezing power leaves him exhausted whenever he uses it, he usually ends up being [[Overshadowed by Awesome]]. Eventually, {{spoiler|he performs a Heroic Sacrifice, allowing himself to be absorbed by Aptom in order to save his life. Aptom then gains his powers}}.
* Nobara Ibaragi in ''[[Gakuen Alice]]'' has the Alice (magic power) of Ice.
Line 65:
** He's got ice and destructive versions of all his attacks, all of which are prone to being labeled "Metal Wolf Claw" or "Ice Wolf Claw" depending on how the writers are feeling. Also, there are a number of ice-related Digimon and ice versions of non-ice Digimon.
* Margarite from ''[[Dragon Crisis]]''.
* Yukiki from ''[[SergeantSgt. Frog]]''.
* Blue Rose from ''[[Tiger and Bunny]]''. She uses a Freeze Ray to direct attacks, but can also be very versatile with her power.
* Cure Beauty from ''[[Smile Pretty Cure]]''.
Line 102:
* The ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! GX]]'' fanfic ''Dangerous Black Ice'' gives this power to Marufuji Ryou, after having made him into one of the Seven Stars. Perhaps notably, he still wears black, not white.
* ''[[Lemmy's Land]]'' characterizes [[Super Mario Bros.|Lemmy Koopa]] as this. His [[Weapon of Choice]] is a freeze gun, which was the subject of [http://www.lemmykoopa.com/lk2/lk2-1.html the webmaster's first story].
* In ''[[Keepers of the Elements]]'', Bridgette has this as a power, combined with being able to control [[Making a Splash|water]].
* John in ''[[With Strings Attached]]'', thanks to his [[Making a Splash|magical water-charm]]. Ice is just one of the many things he can do. Also, since he can alter the physical properties of water, he can create “warm ice” that won't hurt anyone it covers.
* The ''[[Fruits Basket]]'' fanfic The ''[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/2509616/1/Eyes-of-the-Cat Eyes of the Cat]'' allows a ghost to freeze the [[Big Bad]] alive by increasing the chill that being a ghost causes by about one million.
* Eri in ''[[The World Ends With You]]'' fanfic, ''[[Eri's Game]]'' has three pins of ice attacks.
* Yuki Sato, AKA "Tsurara", from ''[[The Secret Return of Alex Mack]]'' and its spin-off [[Shared Universe]], ''[[The Teraverse]]''. Unlike most examples of this character type, she is implemented realistically, as a living heat sink absorbing energy rather than "radiating" or "projecting" cold; further, her metabolism has been changed sufficiently that she ''requires'' the heat she drains from her environment to survive. She eventually gets a job as the cooling system for a nuclear plant, and enters a romantic relationship with a man with Human Torch-like powers.
** There is also an unnamed North Korean super who exhibits cold/ice powers, but little is known about them.
* ''[[Final Stand of Death]]'': Emma gains ice-abilities upon her operation, after her original left replaced with an arm-cannon. Later, as Nick Diamond tries to run away after it was [[Poison and Cure Gambit|discovered that he]] {{Spoiler|poisoned both Spice Girls and Hanson}}, to [[Involuntary Battle to the Death|force them to fight]] for Deathbowl '98, Emma quickly fires an ice ball at him to keep him from running.
 
== [[Film]] ==
* Frozone in ''[[The Incredibles]]''.
* In ''[[Thor (film)|Thor]]'', the Frost Giants can create blasts of ice as well as [[Morph Weapon|shape it into weaponry]].
Line 115 ⟶ 118:
* The 2005 movie [[The Magic Roundabout]]'s villain, Zeebad, is this. (Curiously, midway through the film, he actually ''beats'' someone [[Playing with Fire]].)
* Elsa in Disney's [[Frozen (Disney film)|Frozen]]
* Appropriately, the [[Big Bad]] of ''[[Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire]]'' is this. When the demon Garraka initially escapes the [[Sealed Evil in a Can| magical prison he was sealed in]], Lucky tries to use her weapon on him, but his icy grasp causes the streams to become frozen solid (that means his malevolent aura can actually freeze [[Pure Energy]]) and when he [[Horned Humanoid| recovers his horns]] (which act as an amplifier for his powers) his mere presence causes a cataclysmic blizzard to cover New York City, freezing Manhattan Bay and causing sharp spires of ice to erupt from the ground. This, however, is but a small sample of the fate he intends for the entire world, as he plans to enact the Death Chill, an evil ritual that will plunge the temperature down to absolute zero (which [[The Smart Guy| Lars]] reminds everyone is, to date, a theoretical concept), feeding on the fear of those who freeze to death, Ray giving an ominous and graphic description of why death by sudden freezing is so horrific.
 
 
== [[Literature]] ==
* In ''[[Chanters of Tremaris|The Singer of All Songs]]'', there are several kinds of chantments (magic songs). The Daughters of Taris, an all-female religious order, can sing the chantments of ice, and they protect their territory with a giant ice wall. Instead of combining with water (indeed, it's noted that the ability to swim isn't particularly common among them), the High Priestess also bears and passes on the knowledge of the chantments of ice that invoke darkness, the opposite of the chantments of fire which also have power over light.
* "[[The Snow Queen]]".
* Jadis, the White Witch of [[C. S. Lewis|CS Lewis]]'s ''[[Narnia]]'', causes unending winter and lives in an ice castle.
* The titular ''[[Discworld/Wintersmith|Wintersmith]]'', of the ''[[Discworld]]'' novel, though this is just a subset of his general "Embodiment of the force of winter itself" bit.
** Maybe a bit of a stretch, but in ''[[Discworld/Thief of Time|Thief of Time]]'', we find out that Kaos, the fifth horseman who left before they became famous, has a sword that's so cold it goes beyond absolute hero and generates a sort of "burning cold" anti-heat. He uses it to keep milk fresh by putting it in the same room as a super-hot burning furnace.
* The Clayr of ''The [[Old Kingdom]]'' trilogy, though primarily a clan of [[One-Gender Race|all female]] clairvoyants, use ice to amplify their Sight, hence why they live in a Glacier. When away from the glacier, they use spells to create a screen of ice on which they project their Sight, so as to show others.
* The ''Jaz Parks'' series has Vayl, a [[Friendly Neighborhood Vampire]] of [[Our Vampires Are Different|a particular type]] called a Wraith, who have the power to produce cold temperatures. He later [[Power Copying|gains the ability]] to form superhard ice armor, in the manner of [[X-Men|Iceman]].
Line 139 ⟶ 142:
 
 
== [[Live -Action TV]] ==
* Sylar adds this power to his arsenal of powers he's [[Power Copying|stolen from other superhumans]] in ''[[Heroes (TV series)|Heroes]]''. Tracy Strauss—Nikki's doppelganger—has the same power.
* Ice from ''[[Amazing Extraordinary Friends]]''.
* Frosta from ''Lastikman'' can manipulate ice.
* Kane from the ''[[Doctor Who]]'' serial ''Dragonfire''.
* In one episode of ''[[Buffy the Vampire Slayer]]'', The Trio uses a freeze gun on a museum guard.
* [[All There in the Manual|According to the NBC website]], the Eighth Kingdom of ''[[The Tenth Kingdom]]'' miniseries is ruled by the Ice Queen. Aside from being described as "terrorizing the people of the fishing villages and fjords", it is stated she wishes to rule all the Kingdoms and, one day, plans to conquer them. Clearly an example of a [[Woman in White]] and [[Evil Is Deathly Cold]]. (And this has been played up in various [[Fanfic|FanFics]].)
* Miyuki from ''[[Mahou Sentai Magiranger]]'' has this as her power. The same for her ''Power Rangers'' counterpart, Udonna, in ''[[Power Rangers Mystic Force]]''. Of course, as high-ranking wizards, they - especially Udonna - can do a ''whole'' lot more.
** [[Power Rangers Operation Overdrive]] villain Flurious is the most prominent one in the series. He lives in arctic cave and can freeze you over and shatter you (though, this being a kids' show, you ''really'' don't see him do that a whole lot).
* [[Kamen Rider]] doesn't have a whole lot of ice users, but a prominent example is [[Kamen Rider Blade|Leangle]]. So is ''[[Kamen Rider OOO]]'''s [[Super Mode]] PuToTyra.
* Lily from ''[[Misfits]]'' gains the power of freezing objects she touches. In the Nazi timeline, Captain Smith has Seth transfer her power into himself.
 
 
== Mythology ==
* The Yuki-Onna from Japanese mythology was often an extremely pale woman who lived within snow storms. Tended to guide travelers to either their frozen deaths or to safety, if she so wished to.
* Jack Frost, natch. Generally, he simply brings winter to certain areas (winter/cold follows him everywhere), but some stories have him using his power to freeze people to death in an instant if they piss him off.
* [[Norse Mythology|Frost giants.]]
 
 
== [[Professional Wrestling]] ==
* [[WCW]] wrestler Glacier had a whole entrance motif built around ice and snow. Fitting, since he was a knockoff...err, [[Captain Ersatz]]...of Sub-Zero.
 
 
== [[Tabletop Games]] ==
* [httphttps://ww2web.wizardsarchive.comorg/gathererweb/CardDetails20190614060048/https://status.aspx?name=Heidar,%20Rimewind%20Masterwizards.com/ Heidar, Rimewind Master], the villain of the ''[[Magic: The Gathering]]'' set ''Coldsnap''. Also a [[Well-Intentioned Extremist]] who wanted to return the world to a second Ice Age.
* The Ice Queen of Kislev, ''[[Warhammer Fantasy Battle]]''.
* ''[[Dungeons & Dragons]]'' has numerous variations and examples. Aside from the various deities of cold and winter, there's the Frostwind Virago that's the fey incarnation of the fickle and cruel nature of winter, the [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin|Frost Mage]] prestige class, the Winterhaunt of Iborighu prestige class, which eventually leads to transforming into an unholy abomination of ice and snow, the psionic Cryokineticist prestige class, and more.
** D&D also has White Dragons, who have freezing breath instead of fire.
** 4th edition's different ruleset has pretty much killed "conjurer" and "evoker" wizard specialising, to be replaced by the classic elemental mages. Being an ice mage from level 1, with feats to match, is entirely doable.
** First edition had an evil humanoid race called "Frost Men'' who could shoot a "cone of cold" as an [[Eye Beams|eye beam.]]''
* Jerza Wagner, a ghost from the ''[[Ravenloft]]'' setting, drains the living warmth from her victims and leaves them frozen solid. No, they don't wake up if you chip the ice away.
** While the Darklord Meredoth is technically a necromancer, he uses lots of ice-based spells and has a frozen lair.
* ''[[Champions]]'', being a super-hero role-playing game, has clones of many popular superheroes and supervillains, including a [[Captain Ersatz]] of Iceman named ''Icestar''. He lacks the former's frigid body-armor, but shares the wisecracking personality. (An old rules example for Presence Attacks has Icestar blasting a villain-carried crate and quipping, "Heads up, boys, the Good Humor man is here!")
* ''[[Rifts]]'' has an optional Psychic Character Class called the Freezer, with various cryogenic powers.
* Psychokinetic psions in White Wolf's ''[[Trinity]]'' could specialize in Cryokinesis, allowing them to freeze enemies.
* The Winter Court from ''[[Changeling: The Lost]]'' get powers like this under the Contracts of Eternal Winter. They range from freezing any liquid solid instantly, to creating an aura of crippling cold, to causing a person to be hit by a hailstone the size of their head, to summoning a blizzard. Yes, even in hot climates.
 
 
== Toys ==
* Every single Toa of Ice in ''[[Bionicle]]'', plus a handful of other beings (though "a handful" does include an ''entire swarm'' of Kohrak).
 
 
== [[Video Games]] ==
* ''[[Ōkami|Okami]]'''s last brush technique, Blizzard, is received from Itegami in [[Grim Up North|Kamui]].
* Lots of Robot Masters in ''[[Mega Man (video game)|Mega Man]]'', including Ice Man, [[Mega Man 6|Blizzard Man]], [[Mega Man and Bass|Cold Man]], [[Mega Man 7|Freeze Man]], [[Mega Man 8|Frost Man]], [[Mega Man 10|Chill Man]]...let's not even get into the Reploids of ''[[Mega Man Zero|Zero]]'' or ''[[Mega Man ZX|ZX]]''...
** [[ROM Hack]] ''[[Rockman No Constancy]]'' turns Wood Man into this.
** ''[[Mega Man X|X]]'' series: Chill Penguin from ''X1'', Blizzard Buffolo from ''X3'', Frost Walrus from ''X4'', Blizzard Wolfang from ''X6'', and Avalanche Yeti from ''X8.''
** The Chill Slip ability from ''[[Rockman 6: Unique Harassment]]'', earned after beating Chill Man, gives Mega Man an icy projectile attack with a wave pattern and an enhanced version of the Charge Kick with added invincibility frames.
* Ice type ''[[Pokémon]]'' trainers Pryce, Glacia, Candice, Lorelei, and Brycen. [[Meaningful Name|Notice a trend?]]
** Ice is actually an interesting element in the ''[[Pokémon]]'' series. Pokemon with the type are hardly ever used because they have a disproportionate number of elemental weaknesses that are also commonly found. However, Ice-type ''attacks'' are extremely common (especially in competitive circles) since Ice is pretty much the only choice for taking down certain [[Infinity+1 Element|Dragon-typed 'mons.]]
* Python from ''[[Metal Gear Solid]]: Portable Ops'' is a particularly inexplicable example. His powers come from the mastery of liquid nitrogen. [[Justified]], as a Vietnam War wound left him unable to regulate his body's temperature, forcing him to wear a modified combat suit that uses liquid nitrogen to cool himself down.
* The [[Golem]] Lolithia in the ''[[Wild ARMs]]'' series, also known as the Ice Queen.
* Vexen of ''[[Kingdom Hearts]]''.
* [[Level Grinding]] Celes in ''[[Final Fantasy VI]]'' will make her learn all three levels of Ice/Blizzard magic without the aid of Magicite.
** On the subject of ''[[Final Fantasy]]'', the summon Shiva is a prime example of this trope. ''[[Final Fantasy XI]]'' has her protocrystal in the [[Grim Up North]], for crying out loud.
** Edea in ''[[Final Fantasy VIII]]'' shoots a piercing shard of ice as her [[Limit Break]]. It's not a huge part of her character, but [[Cutscene Power to the Max|certain events]] gave it a strong association in the players' memories.
** [[Meaningful Name|Snow]] of ''[[Final Fantasy XIII]]'' learns the Blizzard series of spells, including Blizzaga (and Water), but no Fire or Thunder spells. He also gets to summon Shiva.
* Sub-Zero of ''[[Mortal Kombat]]''. And his pupil, Frost, for that matter.
** There were actually ''two'' Sub-Zeros. The first one was neutral/bordering on evil and was killed by Scorpion. The second was his younger brother, who started off attempting to complete his brother's hit, but ended up becoming a genuinely heroic figure.
* ''[[The King of Fighters]]''' Kula Diamond.
* ''[[Tales (series)]]'':
** Rutee Katrea from ''[[Tales of Destiny]]''.
** Celsius, the Summon Spirit of Ice introduced in ''[[Tales of Eternia]]''. For that matter, Celsius and her costume in ''Tales of the World: Narikiri Dungeon 3'' and ''[[Tales of Eternia]]'''s Keele, who apparently was assigned both Celsius and Undine for that game.
** Veigue Lungberg from ''[[Tales of Rebirth]]''.
** Alice from ''[[Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World]]''. Witness her [[Limit Break]] in action [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BgogElp4XYk here].
* Glacies from ''[[Super Robot Wars Destiny]]'' controls the Ruina mecha Fabularis, which controls ice.
** Also, in the [[Masou Kishin/Characters|Masou Kishin]] portion, the [[Making a Splash|Water]] Herald Tytti Noorbuck (piloting Gaddeath) can use an ice area attack called ''Kelvin Blizzard''. And in the [[Updated Rerelease]] of Lord of the Elemental, the Hydro Pressure become ''Jotunheim'', where she creat gigantic glacies to finish enemies. The rest of her attacks are water-based though.
** There's also the [[Super Robot Wars Compact 3|Shura General Maysis Mark]], who uses Peirines, the Shura God that uses ice.
* In ''[[Arcana Heart]] 2'', newcomer Zenia Valov's default Arcana lets her control ice. (It also takes the form of [[Everything's Better with Penguins|a penguin]].)
* The ''[[Ice Climbers]]'' gain this status in the ''[[Super Smash Bros.]].'' series.
* Liches in ''[[Warcraft]]'' and ''[[World of Warcraft]]'' will usually specialize in ice magic. Just look at Kel'Thuzad.
** Let's not forget frost magi (a common talent specialization for mages <s>at lower levels</s> [[Squishy Wizard|who want to survive that first hit in PvP]]).
** Not to mention Frost Wyrms and the new Death Knight class (which, like mages, can specialize in frost effects).
** Racial conflict => external enemy required => a threat to all life => "too hot" (demons) and "too cold" (undead); logic at work, simple and elegant world design.
** In terms of who's the frostiest class? In terms of raw number of (and amount of damage revolving around) frost spells, it is 1: frost mage 2: frost death knight 3: shaman 4: priest is getting a shadowfrost spell, so that's a half a spell for them.
** The Lich King also has a number of ice-based techniques in his arsenal.
** Hodir, one of the guardians in Ulduar.
* Anri from ''[[Shining Force]]'' specializes in ice magic.
* ''[[City of Heroes]]'' has several ice/cold powersets.
* Uesugi Kenshin in ''[[Sengoku Basara]]'' has lots of ice-based moves, and it's his element as well. And if your name is 'Kasuga', he's VERY NICE. Other ice users here include Itsuki and Hojo Ujimasa.
** To drive the point home, his name was [[Woolseyism|woolseyed]] in the first game to [[Meaningful Name|"Frost"]].
*** The third game adds [[Shrine Maiden|Tsuruhime]] and [[Dastardly Whiplash|Yoshiaki Mogami]]. The former an [[Genki Girl|energetic young girl]] whose skill with the bow allows her to shoot ice arrows at her enemies and the latter can create ice sculptures as well as use feints and counterattacks.
* Blizzard, the benevolent gorilla god of ''[[Primal Rage]]'', breathes freezing air and summons ice pillars from the ground. His coloration is also ice-like, with pure white fur over blue skin.
* Marle from ''[[Chrono Trigger]]''. She's still listed as a 'Water'-type, though. And together with Frog (who uses liquid water), they have a double tech 'Ice Water'.
** Ice and water are combined as 'Blue' elements in the sequel, ''[[Chrono Cross]]''. It opposes Red (fire/lava), and both tend to be vulnerable to each other.
* Samus from ''[[Metroid]]'' has the Ice Beam, which is the weakness of the Metroids. In ''Metroid Fusion'', she also gains Diffusion Ice missiles.
** Not to mention Noxus from ''[[Metroid Prime]] Hunters'' and Rundas from ''Metroid Prime 3: Corruption''.
* Mario using the Ice Flower in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]''. Mario literally becomes made of ice in ''Galaxy'' but turns into a form that can shoot ice balls in ''NSMBW''.
** Also, from the other games: Freezies in ''[[Mario Bros.]].'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros.]].'', Baron Brrr from ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'', Chief Chilly from ''[[Super Mario 64]] DS'', the Crystal King from ''[[Paper Mario (franchise)|Paper Mario]]'', Beldam from ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'', Bonechill from ''[[Super Paper Mario]]'', Jojora from ''[[Mario & Luigi]]'', and Blizzaurus from ''[[Super Princess Peach]], and'' Icicle Golem in ''[[Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle]]''.
* [[Ensemble Darkhorse|Blanc Neige]] of ''[[Shining Tears]]'', fittingly called 'Ice Witch', since all of her magic are ice based. And she's [[Defrosting Ice Queen|suspectible of being defrosted]].
* [[Kanon|Shiori Misaka]], from ''[[Eternal Fighter Zero]]'', who creates various temporary weapons out of ice, in addition to the usual ice beams and icicle attacks.
*
* [[Baka|Cirno]] and Letty Whiterock from the ''[[Touhou]]'' series.
** And Mai, from the PC-98 games. (Ironically, her friend [[Non-Indicative Name|Yuki]] is the one who [[Playing with Fire|Plays With Fire]].)
* Yuki in ''[[Last Blade]]''
* Rimururu from ''[[Samurai Shodown]]''. Sourced from a [[Nature Spirit]].
* Mia and Piers, of ''[[Golden Sun]]'' and ''Golden Sun: The Lost Age'' respectively.
** Let's not forget Alex!
** Or anyone, if they equip the right Djinn (or items for Frost in the first game).
** Rief and Amiti in the third game.
* Subverted in ''[[Fire Emblem]]''. The Fimbulvetr and Blizzard spells have names and visual effects usually associated with ice magic...however, they're actually listed as ''[[Blow You Away|wind]]'' tomes, since FE's anima magic doesn't include ice (only Wind, [[Playing with Fire|Fire]] and [[Shock and Awe|Thun]][[Psycho Electro|der]])
* Mitsuru Kirijo in ''[[Persona 3]]'' has an array of ice spells in her disposal, thanks to her persona.
** In ''[[Persona 4]]'' there are two ice users: Chie Satonaka and Teddie. Chie only barely counts, though. She stops learning ice spells around the time Teddie joins and ends up a beastial [[Kick Chick]] by the endgame. Averted by [[Meaningful Name|Yukiko]]. She actually uses [[Playing with Fire|fire]] skills.
* Borya the [[Squishy Wizard|magician]] from ''[[Dragon Quest IV]]''.
** The Daughter from ''[[Dragon Quest V]]'' has a main development on ice-based magic.
** The recurring monster Blizzardy, naturally.
** By default, any monster with an ice skill set from ''[[Dragon Quest Monsters]]''.
* Yukimaru and Fubuki from ''[[Disgaea 2: Cursed Memories]]'' come from a clan of ninjas from a hidden snow village, so all of their character-specific special techniques involve snow and ice.
** Pram from [[Makai Kingdom]] and Mao and Rozalin in ''[[Disgaea 3: Absence of Justice]]'' have ice as their primary element.
** The Holy Dragons in both of the aforementioned Disgaea titles have an affinity for ice, and combine it with [[Holy Hand Grenade|light]] in their special attacks .
* Keith Evans, the '[[Big Bad]]' from ''[[Psychic Force]]''.
* Jin Kisaragi from ''[[BlazBlue]]''. To call him ''nice'', however, [[Jerkass|would]] [[Ax Crazy|be]] [[:Category:Yandere|highly]] [[Evil Is Deathly Cold|inaccurate]].
* ''[[Suikoden Tierkreis]]''' Sphiel, a literal snow fairy.
** Although the True Water Rune can be held by any of the three main characters, [[The Paragon|Chris]] [[Lady of War|Lightfellow]] has the best affinity for it.
* Freezing is a powerup in ''Backyard Baseball'' and other ''[[Backyard Sports]]'' games.
* Elena in ''[[Visions and Voices|Visions & Voices]]'' is the only playable character that can use Cold spells.
** Actually, Marlowe gets a single Cold spell.
* [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin|The Queen of Ice]], the [[Big Bad]] of ''[[Enchanted Arms]]''. Appearance and personality-wise, she appears to be an [[Expy]] of [[Final Fantasy VIII|Edea and Ultimecia]], although, instead of throwing ice or summoning a familiar that can, she's made out of ice and ''is'' the familiar.
* [[Rosenkreuzstilette|Freudia Neuwahl]], although she also has a [[Frickin' Laser Beams|laser]].
* Glacius from ''[[Killer Instinct]]'' is literally made of ice, he is also an alien, the inverse of Cinder, who is made of fire.
* Sasquatch from ''[[Darkstalkers]]''. Other characters, like Donovan Baine and Huitzil, also have some ice-based attacks.
* Not elemental per say, but Commander Shepard of [[Mass Effect 2]] is the only squad member with access to the cryo ammo power that allows their guns to freeze enemies solid and shatter them. Truthfully, only one out of the six classes Shepard can be lacks a freeze power.
* Both Ice and Freeze Kirbys from the ''[[Kirby]]'' series can [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin|freeze enemies into ice blocks]].
* [http://bioshock.wikia.com/wiki/Martin_Finnegan Martin Finnegan] of ''[[BioShock (series)]]'', an apprentice of [[Mad Artist|Sander Cohen]] who turned himself into an 'iceman' to survive.
* The [[Silver Age]]-styled video game ''[[Freedom Force]]'' has the former Soviet spy turned supervillain Nuclear Winter and his minions.
* ''[[Inazuma Eleven]]'' sports two teams associated with ice: the first is Hakuren, a team of Hokkaido children, whose captain is Shiro Fubuki, who is able to perform both the effective Ice Ground (a ball-stealing technique that freezes the enemy while Fubuki skates through an ice field) and the outstandingly powerful Eternal Blizzard (a powerful shot that is performed by making the ball spin in midair, absorbing cold air, then striking it with all one's might). The second one is Diamond Dust, led by Gazelle and his mighty kick, Northern Impact (he disappears and then shoots the ball from an ice field).
* [http://cutstuff.net/blog/?page_id=1505 Frostbite] from ''[[Ghouls vs. Humans]]''. He is an ice elemental born from the "doomed souls in the Arctic", who avenges the deaths of those who are murdered or betrayed in the icy desert. He looks like a giant, floating skull made of ice and has the power of an icy breath, as well as powerful icy armor.
* ''[[Advance Wars]]'', ''Black Hole Rising'', and ''Dual Strike'' have Olaf, whose army is immune to the effects of snow on the battlefield and whose (Super) CO Power makes it snow for two days.
* [[Vanguard Bandits]] for the [[PS 1]] allows any character who equips a [[Power Crystal|Water Stone]] for their [[A Mech by Any Other Name|ATAC]] to use ice attacks. But in particular, there is Lord Alden the [[In-Series Nickname|Ice Wolf]].
* [[Meaningful Name|Serph]] and later {{spoiler|Sera}}, in ''[[Digital Devil Saga]]''.
* [[The Chick|Kisala]] in ''[[Rogue Galaxy]]''.
* Ice is a common weapon attribute in the [[Dynasty Warriors|Warr]][[Samurai Warriors|iors]] franchises.
* [[Cloudcuckoolander|Meru]] from ''[[Legend of Dragoon]]''.
* ''[[Infamous (video game series)|In Famous]] 2'' has Lucy Kuo and {{spoiler|the Vermark 88 men who Cole releases when saving Lucy}}. If you go for the good side of the [[Karma Meter]], Cole can become one of these as well.
* The Cryo Legionnaire from [[Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3]] can not only freeze whole groups of ground units [[Harmless Freezing|for capture]] ([[Literally Shattered Lives|or for shatter]]), but they can [[Walking on Water|walk on (solid) water]] by flash-freezing the water beneath them, and even create ice aircrafts from inside a turret. Of course, being Red Alert, this is combined with a repertoire of [[Pungeon Master|hammy, cryohydrous-related dialogue]].
* White Len from ''[[Melty Blood]]''.
* From ''[[RuneScape]]'': To'Kash the Bloodchiller and Astea Frostweb (also a spider summoner) on the frozen set of Dungeoneering floors, both of whom can freeze the player in a block of ice; Icy Bones, who surrounds the players with ice spikes and freezes those who aren't next to him; Kamil, the boss guarding the ice diamond in Desert Treasure and its dessert-based expy/homage Karamel from the last part of Recipe for Disaster; and {{spoiler|Lucien's ice titans, which can freeze the player in ice blocks, and ice demons, which create ice spikes around the player, trapping them in one place if they don't move.}}
* Kickle from ''Kickle Cubicle''.
* Sill from the [[Rance]] Series. {{spoiler|Ironically, she becomes a Human Popsicle in Sengoku Rance.}}
 
== [[Web Comics]] ==
* In ''[[8-Bit Theater|Eight Bit Theater]]'', Red Mage exclusively casts Ice spells, leaving [[Fire, Ice, Lightning|Fire and Lightning]] to Black Mage.
* From ''[[Antihero for Hire]]'', Coldular/Froster/Cubenator, the ice-themed one-shot villain who picked a different name every damned time he spoke.
** And managed to work up some cold-based puns that shamed pretty much anyone else on this list for their stupidity, and that is saying something.
** With his recent reappearance, he's not said his new name but that doesn't stop the puns:
{{quote|''' Coldular/Froster/Cubenator:''' I better make like a glacier and recede. Only, you know, faster.}}
* Sil'lice in ''[[Drowtales]]'', a Drow with an elementary affinity for ice (a snowflake is even part of her crest). She uses her powers to [[Torture Technician|torture people]] by freezing their blood and certainly fits the "icy" part of this trope in personality.
* In a world ruled by [[Mad Scientist]]s like ''[[Girl Genius]]'', it's no surprise that the firefighters are something like the [http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20080602 Ninth Aetheric Vapor Squad]. Their firefighting tools are Gas Condensers that, when kicked up a notch, can freeze an entire castle to the point where you can crack it open with a hammer.
* The Ice Immunes from ''[[Fetch Quest: Saga of the Twelve Artifacts]]'' are so called because they are not affected by the severe cold that ice brings. In fact, they developed a style of martial art utilizing it.
* Kieri of ''[[Slightly Damned]]'' has ice powers along with her water magic, though, mostly, all she's done with them is [[Harmless Freezing]]. [http://www.sdamned.com/2008/10/10112008/ The demon Lazuli, on the other hand...]
* Sa Ghang Gwon from the published webcomic ''[http://www.mangafox.com/manga/trace Trace]'' definitely counts, given he doesn't really freeze things as he uses ice spikes.
* [[Supermegatopia]] illustrates some of the [https://web.archive.org/web/20110830143731/http://www.supermegatopia.com/gallery/booty-bay/chilled/ problems] with being an ice person.
* [[Oglaf]] has the Snow Queen.
* The supervillainess [https://web.archive.org/web/20120607082440/http://www.drunkduck.com/The_KAMics/5113994/ Frosty Freisin] in ''[[The KAMics]]''.
* Winter is one in ''[[Snow By Night]]'', on account of being, you know, winter.
* ''[[Wayward Sons]]'': Saiden, along with his other [[Making a Splash|water-based powers]]. Sefani specializes in this, not requiring water to be around like Saiden does.
* In ''[[Minion Comics]]'', Dingus plans his minion identity "Icepick" around an ice theme, deciding that [https://web.archive.org/web/20120904141633/http://www.meetmyminion.com/?p=190 "I'll kill people, but only with weapons that are cold and shit."].
* In ''[[Our Little Adventure]]'', [http://danielscreations.com/ola/comics/ep0269.html Emily went for Ice, not Fire.]
 
== Web Original ==
* The ''[[Global Guardians PBEM Universe]]'' has Centigrade (who combines this with [[Playing with Fire]]), Fafza Tel ("Winter Willow" in Hungarian), Icicle, El Halcon Blanco ("White Hawk" in Spanish), Flurry (who combines this with [[Blow You Away]]), Snowblind, Snowdrift, Chillblaine, Frost, Frostbite, Sub-Zero, Doctor Zero, Tundra, Iceberg, Lady December, and Snowstorm.
* Johnny Snow from ''[[Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog|Doctor Horribles Sing Along Blog]]'' has a homemade [[Freeze Ray]].
** And subverted by the Doctor's own [[Time Stands Still|Freeze Ray]], which doesn't have anything to do with ice or a lack of heat.
* Juniper Taylor in ''[[The Descendants]]''. Not just water ice, either. She's frozen ''air'' at least once.
* ''[[Whateley Universe]]'' characters like Icer, Winter, Bifrost, Nahga, and Frostbite.
** And inventor Mister Cool, who doesn't have the pwoer, but invented the equivalent of a freeze ray.
* Frost from ''[[Trinton Chronicles]]'' is one of these - he creates, controls, and even subverts ice and cold into every useful tool he can. It also helps that he is immune to cold with the draw back that his powerful icy-aura can't be turned off, only down, makes dating and cuddling rather interesting.
** As a sub-troupe, technically, the ''[[The Fair Folk|Fairy Sisters]]'' have a touch of this too, as they control the Ice Maze in the first story arc.
* Ice Princess and Coldstar both have ice-controlling powers in ''[[Less Than Three Comics|LessThanThree Comics]]''.
* ''[[Darwin's Soldiers]]'' has the aptly named experiment "Ice" with, well, ice powers. There are implications that several other experiments have similar powers, but they are never mentioned.
* Hypothermia in ''[[Metro City Chronicles]]''.
* Aster in the ''[[Anti Cliche and Mary Sue Elimination Society]]''.
* [[Humanoid Abomination|The Cold Boy]] from ''[[The Fear Mythos]]''. Moreover, he usually targets people who are afraid of being "cold" or [[Loners Are Freaks|cut off from others]].
* Although she's actually ''far'' more versatile, ice and cold do seem to be the signature effects used by Weiss Schnee of ''[[RWBY]]'', to the point that she was nicknamed "Ice Queen" as much for these as for her initially standoffish personality. (It doesn't hurt that her name means "Snow White" in German...)
 
== [[Western Animation]] ==
* Every single [[Making a Splash|Waterbender]] in ''[[Avatar: The Last Airbender]]'' and [[Sequel Series]] ''[[The Legend of Korra]]''.
* Blossom of the ''[[The Powerpuff Girls]]''.
** And Ace, temporarily.
* Zan of the Wonder Twins from ''[[Superfriends]]''.
* Danny himself, as well as a tribe of ghost yetis in ''[[Danny Phantom]]''.
* Icy of ''[[Winx Club]]''.
* Killer Frost in ''[[Justice League Unlimited]]''. "Not necessarily a nice person," indeed.
* Logically, Mr. Freeze's incarnation from ''[[Batman: The Animated Series]]'', ''[[The Batman]]'', and ''[[Batman Beyond]]''. More an [[Anti-Villain]] than proper evil.
* Blitzwing's aptly named "Icy" persona in ''[[Transformers Animated]]''.
* [[Darkwing Duck]] fought a villain based on this once. Unlike others, her goal is to ''warm up''.
* Brain Freezer of ''[[Johnny Test]]''.
* Snow Miser from ''[[The Year Without a Santa Claus]]''.
* Maureen "Permafrost" O'Connor, a one-time ''[[Static Shock]]'' character in a [[Very Special Episode]] about homelessness, had this as her power.
** She was also a little nuts, but not bad, which is good - she was one of the most powerful metahumans they faced and, if she ''wanted'' to, she could have put the whole city in an ice age in seconds.
* Omi of ''[[Xiaolin Showdown]]'' can adapt his Orb of Tornami Sheng Gong Wu to become this.
* Big Chill in ''[[Ben 10: Alien Force]]'' and ''[[Ben 10: Ultimate Alien]]'', as well as Articguana and Heatblast ([[No Biochemical Barriers|when under the influence of a rhinovirus]]).
* Man-arctica from ''[[Fanboy and Chum Chum]]'', as well as Barry the Ice Monster, who controls the Frosty Freezy Freeze machine.
** Also, a big fan of Man-Artica, who gains ice powers from a super powerful Frosty Freezy Freeze that freezes him alive for the majority of the episode.
* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZLnmWVhrWKk Jack Frost] from ''The Brollys'', the literal form of winter itself...and he's not a very nice guy for an ice guy.
* Kewl Breeze of ''[[Zevo-3]]''.
* In the first episode of ''[[Young Justice (animation)|Young Justice]]'', several ice-based enemies ([[Batman|Mr. Freeze]], [[Green Arrow|Icicle Jr.]], [[Aquaman|Killer Frost]], and [[The Flash|Captain Cold]]) attack separate cities at once. The League finds this an unlikely coincidence and goes to investigate.
* The [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin|Ice]] [[Ineffectual Sympathetic Villain|King]] from ''[[Adventure Time]]''. In addition, [[Super-Hero Origin|the story behind his powers]] was one of [[Tear Jerker|the most important moments from the series]], signifying a [[Wham! Episode|radical change in overall tones]] and forever changing the character's [[Canon]].
* In ''[[Santa Claus is Comin' to Town]]'', The Winter Wizard lives up to his name.
* ''[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic]]'' gives us the Windigoes, winter spirits that feed off fighting and hatred. With enough hate, they could bury an entire land in snow and encase all of its inhabitants in ice.
 
== [[Real Life]] ==
* No, really. A real life example in the form of [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=madoDvtKEes Wim Hof]. Skeptical? Many are, but the man really has survived stuff which should be impossible by human standards. He is even called "Iceman".
* Ice-minus bacteria, such as Pseudomonas syringae, possess the ability to freeze water even at warm temperatures. Scientists believe their ice nucleating proteins are an integral part of ice crystal formation in clouds.
