:: PERSONALITY ::
It is said that Bobby Drake; or iceman as he’s more known as, is chill and down to Earth. He is practically always nice and calm; especially to those that are civil to him. If someone was rude to him he would not be as calm or civil but he would still keep a mature attitude about it. He can though be temperamental at times, meaning if you said something extremely rude he would likely give you a very cold shoulder. When he doesnt like you it is quite obvious that so much so he would likely steer clear of you and keep away at all times. This is entertaining to himself but he doesn’t really mean it; he just has a big mouth when it’s tempted.
He can be very blunt and to the point a lot. This means he is very open and honest to people, so when you ask his opinion on a dress is do not expect him to sugar coat it because he does not believe in lying to people to make them happy. It is against his moral code. This makes Bobby incredibly big on respect, but respect is not everything to him. Trust is what really matters to him and in order to be his friend he has to be able to trust you.
It’s been said that Bobby is a gentle soul., meaning he is always willing to help the less fortunate in any matter. This though is not a side seen very often and as such he lives for it because he likes helping people. He can volunteer a month of his time just to help a special people just so they know he cares a lot. He believes putting other peoples needs before himself to be the essence of a gentleman, he is not the selfish type of guy.
This doesnt mean he doesnt know how to party and have a good time; he’s just not very willing to break a lot of laws to get through to that process. He has been and will always be a social creature wanting a conversation a day even if it is with a complete stranger. If there is an awkward silence he will do anything he cam to make the best of it and have people laugh even if it is at his expense.
The last thing to know about Bobby Drake is his determination. He never backs down from a challenge, mainly because his ego and pride get in the way. He’s not a quitter, and won’t stop until he succeeds in whatever he has already put his mind too. Even if it kills him.

:: MUTATION ::[/list][/blockquote]
- :: THERMOKINESIS :: Bobby is able to lower is extrenal and internal body temperature, projecting immense coldness from his body and thus eliminating him from any heat ordinated objects or to chill off a wound. The weakness of this though is that the lower his body temperature gets the more his body starts cracking. As in exactly like ice, give enough pressure and it'll break.
- :: CRYOKINESIS :: Iceman possesses the power to radically decrease the temperature of ambient water vapor in his immediate environment, thereby freezing it into ice. In this manner he is also able to quickly form a great variety of ice structures, including projectiles, shields, ladders, baseball bats, etc. He often makes ice slides which form rapidly beneath and behind his feet, pushing him along the slick surface at high speeds.
- :: ORGANIC ICE FORM ::[/*] Bobby has the incredible ability to not only cover his body with ice, but to actually become organic ice. Though the appearance is similar, Iceman is now actually pure ice. It is said that Bobby is virtually indestructible in this form: The major let down of this power is the mental effort needed to employ it, it can and will eventually fatigue him and render his freezing ability temporarily dysfunctional.
"Living from day to day, moving from place to place, with no memory of who or what you are."
:: History ::
Bobby first found out about his powers when he was eleven. He went to pick up his toothbrush in the morning before school and it just… froze. The next moment his father had walked into the room Bobby had screamed and the whole entire room froze including his father. Suffice to say he had accidently killed his father and thus his powers were awoken.
But then it got worse. Instead of the prior manifestations, he began to be cold. All the time. It never stopped, and no matter how many sweatshirts he wore or how high the heat was in the shower, that chill pervaded his skin. Bobby was scared; he didn’t want to be different. Who wants to be different at fifteen? No one.
Junior year of high school, that was the worst year for Bobby and when people had learned of his powers. Bobby was ready for a normal life, and he was dating this girl Judy Harmon, and she was just… beautiful. All the dates were going well, and everyone in school knew they were dating. It was all perfect, until Rocky Beasely ruined everything.
This is seriously why he teaches anti-bullying at Xavier’s.
Judy and Bobby were on the bleachers around the track after school. It was a breezy spring day, and her hair was just perfect. It was slightly windy when Rocky came up to them with his goony followers. They started messing with Bobby and Judy, acting like idiots—and then he started to want to get physical. They had pinned Bobby down and that was when he lost it; he screamed and kicked at the boys and shot his hand out to stop Rocky—but a jet of ice flew out of it instead. A legitimate jet of ice. Out of his hand. And it flickered around him in an instant and encased him in a solid block of ice where he was suspended with a horrible look of terror on his face. He had done it. And everyone was suddenly looking at Bobby, and the moment froze, and then Judy screamed and the moment came to life again.
Bobby had ran home as fast as he could but they came looking for him. The whole damn town. They came like a mob,with all the pitchforks and flaming torches. They wanted Bobbys head and they wanted his parents, too. They were screaming things like ‘freak’ and ‘psycho’. Bobbys mom stood by him and they didn’t know what was going on, but they were safe.
But they weren’t. They had swarmed in after the first jerk threw a stone at the window, and if it wasn’t for the sheriff taking Bobby in to ‘protect’ him… well, it was just between a rock and a hard place. He wasn’t safe there, but he wasn’t being taken in for my own safety, either. But at least going with him kept his parents out of harm’s way. So he went.
It was around this time that Professor Charles Xavier had heard of Bobby and his abilities. Charles had sent in Cyclops to try and recruit him. This definitely did not go as they had planned in fact it went a lot differently. Both Scott and Bobby had clashed and began fighting. It was only thanks to Professor Xavier that they survived another mob attack. This time both Scott and Bobby were being hanged. Looking back on it Bobby was very thankful that Professor Xavier had explained his school a lot better then Cyclops had. Well Scott, Xavier, and Bobby went and talked to Bobbys folks and they had agreed it was best for him to go with them.
Over the years at Xaviers academy he learned a great deal. Bobby learned how to control his powers, make them stronger, and how to even talk with more respect. He didn’t feel gifted, but he did feel unique. He was the youngest of the xmen for a while and until he was the age of twenty-two he was the youngest. That was when he had met his current best friend Polaris. Or rather...when he started actually noticing her more then a friend, as a possible...woman.
Bobby was given the name Iceman when he took control as a teacher for mathematics and accounting and now he teaches at Xaviers and is one of the main team members at Xaviers.
Six years ago when Bobby was twenty-one; Xavier and his team had almost all been annihilated. As such Xavier had passed away and it closed the school down. Not wanting to lose his friends Bobby kept in contact with most of them and began teaching or rather being an assistant teacher. After six long years he was contacted by Warren that they were once again opening the school and they he was wanted to help out with both the Xmen and teaching. So here he is back again at Xaviers and as a teacher.

Roy was actually busy doing nothing. Running his hand through his soft hair he looked at the book he was reading. It was a romance novel of a pirate and a princess. A very odd book for sure but he was used to oddities in life. Sitting in his home his mind raced with trying to find something to do. Sighing lightly he dog eared the current page he was on and put the book on a glass table. As he stood up he looked at the fire and began puttng it out. Once it was out he got dressed.
Smiling to himself and once he was dressed it was time to go out to the night. Opening and then locking his front door, he began walking through the alleyways. Seeing a girl turning her head to look at him and then run away he gave a chase. It was odd to be chasing after a girl but doing so he had found himself actually enjoying it. Finding himself lost he began walking around aimlessly. That was until he heard a female voice, recognizing it as Wondergirls he followed the voice. Well now it was time to find what she was doing. flew all this way for nothing". "Maybe I can visit the bats while I'm here see what they are up to, " So she wanted to visit the bats. well he could direct her. Following the source of the voice he finally located her when she had stepped in front of the girl he had been chasing.
Mind telling me what you're doing out here this late at night " Roy sighed. So she was down to asking random people why they were awake at night. Looking at the woman infront of him then to Cassie, Roy had to do something or say something.
Moving up and into the small bit of light Roy spoke up. “Please calm down. Just because someone is in an alleyway in the middle of the night doesnt mean they are up to no good. Would you have said those same words to me if you knew it was me?” He asked her as he patted the random woman on the shoulder.
