Iceman

Robert Louis "Bobby" Drake

  • Iceman
  • Secret

Bobby Drake is an Omega-level mutant whose ice powers emerged when he froze a bully to protect his girlfriend, prompting Scott Summers to recruit him to Professor Xavier's school. As one of the five founding X-Men he was long the team's youngest joker, later serving with the Champions, the Defenders and X-Factor. A meeting with his time-displaced younger self led him to come out as gay, and his powers have grown to near-elemental levels. During the Fall of X he was nearly destroyed at the Hellfire Gala but survived to fight Orchis.
