History Main / AnIceSuit

* The opening scene from the first episode of ''Series/YoungJustice'' features a string of attacks from four ice-themed villains: [[{{Batman}} Mr. Freeze]], [[GreenArrow Icicle Jr.]], [[{{Aquaman}} Killer Frost]] and [[TheFlash Captain Cold]]. Guess which one is the least dressed.

* In ''MortalKombat'', Sub Zero and his student Frost wear leather ninja gear that tends to expose quite a bit of flesh. Of course, being ice manipulators, they don't ever get cold.

Why the FashionableAsymmetry? Well, getting decked out for cold weather makes sense when the cold wielding character is still a warm blooded person, so it provides [[GenreSavvy insurance]] against being HoistByHisOwnPetard. However, if they happen to be an ElementalEmbodiment of Ice/Cold then there's no need for protection from the elements, so they can [[ExposedToTheElements cavort around in summer beach wear during a cold spell]]. Interestingly, just because he or she doesn't ''need'' to wear cold protection gear doesn't mean they won't indulge in an excuse to be PrettyInMink!

Special mention goes to characters who wear ''heat'' [[KryptoniteProofSuit proofing gear to avoid being melted]] by ElementalRockPaperScissors savvy foes.

** And sometimes not even that much; creative angles prevent the player from seeing something that might upset the MoralGuardians.

When a character is AnIcePerson, has AnIceGun, or uses other means to KillItWithIce, he tends to go one of two ways when it comes to costuming, wearing either a properly warm arctic suit [[ColorCodedForYourConvenience (in a lovely blue/black/white color scheme]]), or a... bathing suit?

** Frost damage can still damage machinery, especially if it uses any sort of liquid for cooling (When it's not in arctic weather), Hydraulic pressure system for movement, or water tank for it to manipulate ice.

* Mr. Freeze in just about any ''{{Batman}}'' continuity wears an environment protection suit to protect himself from... mild warmth. Due to an accident he can't exist in temperatures above freezing, so the only time he's ever out of his suit is if the area is solidly frozen. The suit also has a practical function of augmenting Freeze's strength and durability, making a physical match for Batman.

* In ''Tabaluga'', the EvilOverlord {{Snowlem}} [[BigBad Arktos]] needs to wear a cooling suit whenever he goes to Greenland or the desert, so he won't thaw and die.

* [[AnIcePerson Gray Fullbuster]] from FairyTail was conditioned by his training to be completely immune to cold, and so he tends the forgo shirts and long pants...much to his [[Nakama guildmates']] annoyance.

** That would be Icicle Jr. who was only wearing a tight pair of pants and a tank top while Killer Frost at least wore a cloak and gloves.

* Iceman of the X-Men! Technically he's wearing clothes under his ice-body, but when he's iced up he ''looks'' like he's pretty much in the buff.

* The IceClimbers, a [[PinkGirlBlueBoy pair]] of Eskimo children wearing [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anorak parkas.]] You may best remember them from ''SuperSmashBros.''
* Ice Man from the ''MegaMan'' games can generate ice and is dressed in a blue and white Arctic gear. It would be justified since his original job was Arctic investigation -- except that he's a robot and thus shouldn't ''need'' protective clothing.
* In ''MortalKombat'', Sub Zero and his student Frost wear leather ninja gear that tends to expose quite a bit of bare flesh. Of course, being ice manipulators they don't ever get cold.
