Killer Frost (Crystal Snow)
- Main Article: Crystal Snow
Crystal Snow
Crystal came to resent the men that liked her for her beauty, and not her mind or who she, earning her the nickname 'Ice Maiden'. She feared men never saw her as an equal, and would seek to control her, but this ended in college, when she studied under physicist Dr. Martin Stein. He tried to bring her out of her shell, which she misinterpreted as him longing for her, and she fell in love. Years later as a doctor she supervised Mohole One, a project in the Arctic seeking to harness the power of Earth's molten core for energy. She sent for Dr. Stein for a consult on the project and professed her love for him, but he was forced to tell her he never had had feelings for her, though he did see her as an equal. In distress Frost accidentally locked herself in a thermafrost unit, which crystallized her molecules and turned her into the supervillain Killer Frost. Her hatred of male-dominated society made her wild, and she froze soldiers and scientists at Mohole One. Stein turned into the superhero Firestorm, who used his heat powers against her, but Stein realized she absorbed heat despite her cold-based powers. He lured her into a closed space, and turned it into a refrigeration unit, freezing her solid. (Firestorm v1 #3)
