Notes

• The character being renamed as Mr. Freeze came as a result of influence and popularity of the 1960's Batman television series.

Alternate Versions

• In Batman: White Knight v1 (2017), an alternate version of Mr. Freeze was shown in a different continuity setting. This version was a German scientist whose father was Baron Von Fries who was alive during World War II. During that time, Baron Fries met with Thomas Wayne who created a secret program for valuable Nazi assets to be smuggled out to America. Baron Von Fries was among such prisoners with Wayne convincing the War Department to allow him to continue his work on Freeze-Tech for it to be used by the Allies. Fries was allowed to have his family with him on the condition that the project be kept off U.S. soil with Thomas creating a laboratory underneath the German embassy in Gotham. Baron Von Fries intended for his technology to be used as a weapon whilst Thomas saw medical applications though ultimately the War Department sided with Fries leading to Wayne being removed from the project that was re-named Paperclip that was used in the Cold War. Victor Fries came to hate his father and his Nazi past especially on how he treated his fiancée Nora Smithstein with him meeting Thomas Wayne who he saw as a father to him and helped him in his cryogenic medical experiments.
