have comic books ever seen a villainous
cold yet still so smoking hot welcome to
watchmojo.com and today we will explore
the comic book origins of DC’s killer
frost as with most comic book characters
there are often reimagining and
different versions of a character’s past
we’ve chosen to primarily follow the
storyline that unfolded in 1978’s
firestorm the nuclear man volume 1
number 3 1984 s fury of firestorm vol 2
number 21 and 2013’s Justice League of
America vol 3 number 7.2 the water only
the water ah three women have carried
the mantle of the surprisingly
terrifying villain killer frost the
first was a scientist named crystal
frost crystal was hopelessly infatuated
with her colleague dr. Stein and through
no fault of Stein’s believed that he was
as in love with her as she was with him
unbeknownst to Crystal Stein was one
half of the being firestorm the fire
based hero born from the combination of
the separate personalities of dr. Stein
and high school student Ronnie Raymond
when Stein and crystal were assigned to
an Arctic research base to perform
experiments on temperature crystal used
it as an opportunity to get closer to
Stein when he rejected her advances
however crystal stormed away and
distracted accidentally locked herself
in the labs thermo frost chamber by the
time Stein and the rest of the team
discovered crystal it was far too late
to save her from the effects of the
chamber when she was finally let out
they discovered that she’d been
transformed crystal was now a being of
icy flesh with the power to absorb heat
and projected back as cold
angered by her rejection and how the
team had treated her she attacked her
former colleagues and the first killer
frost was born
before she was able to finish Stein off
however Ronnie Raymond felt Stein’s
peril from across the world and
activated his firestorm power
transporting his essence across great
distances
Raymond combined with Stein formed
firestorm and fought killer frost during
the battle
firestorm realized that in order for her
to use her powers Frost must absorb heat
with his nuclear power
he changed the atoms in the room around
them and converted it into a new thermal
Frost unit trapping her inside it meant
that Frost had no heat to absorb and
thus could no longer use her powers
crystal would return to battle firestorm
throughout the years but her demise came
in 1984 when she tried to directly
absorb fire storms nuclear powered heat
the fusion power within him proved to be
too much for Krystal and she was
ultimately destroyed by it
in 1985 killer frost would return this
time as another scientist named Louise
Lincoln after attacking firestorm this
new killer frost revealed that she’d
been a friend of crystal frost and to
honor her friends memory she continued
the work on thermodynamics that crystal
had left unfinished turning herself into
the new killer frost she swore revenge
on firestorm holding him responsible for
Crystal’s fate over the years Louise
Lincoln continued to battle the heroes
of the DC Universe Lincoln’s
long-standing reign as killer frost
would go unchallenged for many years but
in 2005 she discovered that she had
cancer she came up with a plan to trick
firestorm into manipulating the atoms in
her body to destroy the cancer cells her
scheme worked but only temporarily as
firestorm realizing what he’d done
quickly reversed the process and her
cancer returned making her dangerously
ill and crippling her powers dude that’s
cold
wha-wha of course this wasn’t the last
we’d see of killer frost Lincoln
returned again to take on firestorm this
time employing the help of none other
than the super villain mr. freeze we
never learned how she was able to cure
her cancer
but it might have had something to do
with fries whose revealed to be killer
Frost’s new lover the pair of villains
was still no match for firestorm and his
allies however and the two were defeated
with the help of Batman who had been
tracking the frozen couple after their
failure to kill firestorm frost dumped
freeze
and it was made clear that she was only
using him to help her get revenge in
2013 after DC’s new 52 reboot
killer frost origin was changed and a
woman named Caitlin snow became the
modern iteration of killer frost a woman
with a twisted fascination with cold dr.
snow was a researcher for STAR Labs who
was sent to Arctic lab number 72
following the suspicious death of one of
the labs previous researchers dr.
Lincoln snows fascination with all
things frosty motivated her to work
around the clock continuing Lincoln’s
research into thermodynamics as soon as
the project was completed snow’s fellow
scientists revealed themselves to be
spies for the supervillain terrorist
organization known as hive sent to steal
STAR Labs technology with her job
finished the hive agents tried to
dispose of snow inside of her own
creation the thermodynamic ultra
conductor engine the device didn’t kill
snow however instead it transformed her
into killer frost
after brutally killing the hive agents
snow discovered that despite her cold
personality she needed to feed off of
heat in order to survive as a result she
was now forced to kill in order to stay
alive by stealing the heat from other
people and using it to feed herself she
returned to the civilized world and
became a villain needing to murder to
stay alive while seeking a cure to her
condition at any cost
eventually her rampage brought her into
conflict with firestorm upon discovering
that his nuclear power might be the key
to unlocking a cure for her condition
she became obsessed with the hero and
constantly fought him just so she could
gather data on his powers
killer frost may be only one of a number
of ice powered villains in the DC
Universe but her unique personality and
motivations have made her a favorite
villain among DC comic book fans you’re
cutting into my beauty sleep little girl
and if I don’t get my eight hours I’m a
real killer over the years all of killer
frost identities have appeared
throughout DC animation and live-action
as she continues to gain in popularity
