''Or an ice beam--that's so Johnny Snow!''

* Ice-nucleating bacteria, such as ''Pseudomonas syringae'', possess the ability to freeze water at warmer temperatures than normal, thereby damaging plants to feed on them. Scientists believe their ice nucleating proteins are an integral part of ice crystal formation in clouds.

* "Literature/{{Morozko}}"/Jack Frost/Father Frost. Generally, he simply brings winter to certain areas (winter/cold follows him everywhere), but some stories have him using his power to freeze people to death in an instant if they piss him off. Compare Old Man Winter, who is either a substitute for him, another name of his, or a separate entity entirely, depending on how he's depicted. If both of them are depicted as two different beings, then Jack Frost has control over ice and snow in general, whereas Old Man Winter, true to his name, only has domain over Wintry cold.
* "Literature/MotherHolle", as well known as "Old Mother Frost", is an ancient German folk figure who is responsible for causing snow.

The power to control ice, and create cold and frost at will. May be used as a trinity with [[PlayingWithFire Fire]] and [[ShockAndAwe Electricity]], hence FireIceLightning. Likely to be used as a [[FireWaterJuxtaposition contrast to fire]] — if the hero prefers fire, his [[TheRival rival]], {{Archenemy}}, or [[TheLancer Lancer]] will use ice, forming a FireIceDuo. Sometimes the domain of evil or undead entities as EvilIsDeathlyCold. Goes [[IceMagicIsWater hand in hand]] with MakingASplash, and may be involved with [[BlowYouAway wind powers]] via cold air and snowstorms. In ElementalRockPaperScissors with fire, one will usually defeat the other, though which one varies. Ice is unlikely to be any stronger or weaker than other elements though for CompetitiveBalance, and thus HarmlessFreezing will be invoked. If you want to resort to this to kill an otherwise invulnerable entity, you're planning to KillItWithIce.

* Myth/NorseMythology: Frost giants.

* [[Myth/AboriginalAustralianMyths Pitjantjatjara]] mythology has the evil ice spirit Ninya, the GeniusLoci of Mount Artilla (Mount Conner in their language). This is rather unusual as there is little snow in this mountain; some ABoriginal Australian stories date back to thousands of years ago, so this might be a remnant from the ice ages.

* The Yuki-Onna from Myth/JapaneseMythology was often an extremely pale woman who lived within snow storms. Tended to guide travelers to either their frozen deaths or to safety, if she so wished to.

* Yuki[=/=] Winter from ''Podcasts/{{Sequinox}}'' has power over cold and ice, naturally.

* Despiste most of Mexico being tropical/subtropical, Myth/AztecMythology does have quite a few gods of ice and frost (inland areas do get pretty frosty nights/mornings, not to mention all the mountains). Itztlacoliuhqui is specifically the god of frost and the "plant killer" while Tlahuizcalpantecuhtli, the god of the planet Venus, similarly is associated with ice and snow. The latter actually throws an ice dagger at the sun in a myth, who retaliates by burning him alive.

* ''Animation/BoBoiBoy'': In the first film, the title hero unlocks the power of ice, the NextTierPowerUp [[IceMagicIsWatee of water]]. He typically uses ranged weapons to shoot blasts which freeze targets upon impact.
