Bio: A formidable foe from Bruce Wayne's era of Batman, Dr.
Victor Fries was always an individual very deserving of sympathy. He was
once a brilliant scientist who worked for GothCorp in an attempt to cure
his cryogenically frozen wife of a deadly disease when a tragic incident
twisted him into the infamous Mr. Freeze. Despite the fact that his
motivating factor was charged with emotion, the cold Mr. Freeze often
proclaimed himself to be dead to emotion and feeling. Mr. Freeze worked
tirelessly, viciously, and almost maniacally in an attempt to revive his
wife of her fatal ailment. While he eventually succeeded, it was at the
cost of his own physical body. While initially unable to reach her, his
disease eventually caught up with him and by the time his condition
stabilized he was reduced to nothing more than an immortal head.
Too ashamed to seek out his beloved Nora, the head of Fries laid dormant
for forty years before his destiny was intertwined with another infamous
Batman foe: Derek Powers / Blight. Looking for a way to cure his
condition, Dr. Stephanie Lake proposed a cunning solution. In order to
test it, she sought out Fries because he had an irreversible condition
similar to that of Powers. While Fries was temporarily restored to good
heath, eventually his condition quickly took a turn for the worse and
Dr. Lake opted to terminate the experiment. Feeling betrayed yet
again, Mr. Freeze returned to exact revenge on those whom he felt
wronged him, and after a confrontation with Blight and Batman probably
died. |
