Super Powers: An Omega-level mutant, Iceman's powers have evolved considerably over the years. Apocalypse considers Iceman to be one of the twelve most powerful mutants on Earth.
Iceman is able to lower his body temperature without causing harm to himself, reaching -105°F within a few tenths of a second. He is able to freeze any moisture in the air around him into unusually hard ice to form ice-slides and various projectiles and shields (also ladders, baseball bats, etc.). He can travel rapidly along these ice-slides or ice-bridges by causing ice to form rapidly beneath and behind his feet, pushing him along the slick surface; he can increase his speed by emitting ice through his feet like a jet engine and can obtain speeds of modern jets. He is also able to summon moisture from the air and create a flood. Iceman is immune to sub-zero temperatures and has thermal vision: the ability to detect objects visually by how much heat the objects generate. According to the laws of thermodynamics, cold is defined as the absence of heat. Therefore, Iceman does not actually emanate cold, but rather absorbs and dispels heat. Since heat is a form of energy, Iceman's power can be defined as a psionic ability to manipulate thermal energy.
Over the years, his mutant physiology has gone through radical changes. First, he was able to fashion an armor of densely packed snow around his human form when lowering his temperature; later, this became an armor of solid ice. Under the mind control of Emma Frost, his powers were used to a greater potential than he ever had, including being able to deposit his bodily mass into a river and reconstitute his entire mass a great distance away in a matter of minutes. He is also able to transform his body into pure organic ice (similar to the organic steel of Colossus). In normal human form, he has the strength, agility, and durability of a typical athletic male of his size. In his ice-form, his strength and durability were enhanced. When Frost gave up her mind control, Iceman was not able to duplicate what she had done with his own powers, although he now realized that he could push his powers to even greater heights.
At one point, Iceman suffered a severe chest injury and was stuck in his ice-form, afraid of what would happen if he changed back, and went to Emma Frost for help. She merely taunted him, unwilling to help, teasing him that his own self-esteem issues were the only thing holding him back from becoming one of the most powerful mutants on Earth. She hinted that his powers were rooted in the psionic manipulation of energy, and not in manipulation of moisture in the air as previously believed. She was finally able to push Iceman to the point where he lashed out, becoming somewhat malicious, causing her severe pain, and threatening to torture and kill her by slowly freezing the blood flow into her brain. He soon realized what she had been talking about, and he transformed back into his human form, healing the chest wound in the process. From that point forward, Iceman used his organic ice form instead of his ice armor. Sporadically, he would augment his organic ice form with razor sharp adornments to his shoulders, elbows, knees, and fists.
Among his new-found abilities, Iceman is also able to reconstitute his ice-form if any part of it is damaged or even if it is completely shattered, without permanently harming himself. He is able to temporarily add the mass of a body of water to his own to increase his mass, size, and physical power. His strength and durability in his ice-form are enhanced beyond normal human levels. He can survive not only as sentient ice, but as sentient water and vapor. Drake has developed the ability to transform his body from a gaseous state back to a solid, although it is taxing both physically and mentally. He has the capacity to manipulate all forms of moisture and possesses all of the abilities to generate projectiles, slides, and shields that he had always possessed, but they have been augmented greatly.
Learned Abilities: Aside from his superhuman powers, Iceman is also a fair hand-to-hand combatant, and received combat training at Professor Xavier's School and coaching from Black Widow and Hercules. Bobby Drake is also trained in accounting and teaches business classes at the Xavier Institute.
Equipment: none
Weaknesses (Must Have): If Iceman is injured during a fight it takes a while for him to reconstruct his ice body. He also does not have very good control over how strong he can make his ice body.
Background: Robert Drake was born in Port Washington, Long Island, New York, to William Robert Drake and Madeline Beatrice Bass Drake. He is Jewish on his mother's side and Irish Catholic on his father's.[2] His powers first manifested when Bobby was on a date with Judy Harmon, and a local bully by the name of Rocky Beasely tried to take Judy away for himself. Knowing Judy could not put up a good fight; Bobby pointed his hand at Beasely and encased him in a block of ice. Later, the local townspeople, having heard about what Bobby did, came looking for him in the shape of an angry mob. The local sheriff had no choice but to put Bobby in jail for his own "protection." While sitting in his cell at the sheriff station, the outer wall was blown open, and a man named Scott Summers (Cyclops) walked in and offered to take Bobby with him. After turning him down, the two mutants got into a short battle, which Professor Charles Xavier soon ended. After Xavier sat down and talked with Bobby and his parents, Bobby's parents suggested that he go with Professor Xavier to his "school for gifted youngsters." Bobby took the suggestion and left with Professor Xavier and Cyclops, to become the second member of the X-Men.
However, Drake remains self-conscious regarding the fact that he is the youngest member of the group. Appearing in his original snow covered form, he first battled Magneto along with the rest of the team, and later the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants. Not long after, he took on his new ice covered form.
Personality: Iceman is self-conscious about being the youngest member of the X-Men. He is a good guy who is happy whenever he is spending time around the other X-Men. Iceman also enjoys being a superhero and saving the world with the X-Men.

Brief Sample Roleplay
Bobby walked out of his room and down the hallway. He was eager to get down to the debriefing room today, there were rumors going around about a big mission happening soon. He arrived in the room to see only Beast there. "Hey Beast. How's everything going?" Bobby walked to him and shook his hand. "It's been going really well. Thank you for asking." Beast replied to Bobby.
"So, do you know what the big plan is yet?" Iceman asked him, Beast always seemed to know more about what was going on and what was going to happen sooner than he ever did. It probably had something to do with the fact that Beast was the one who came up with all the plans and gathered most of the intelligence before they left for a mission.
