18	* ''ComicBook/{{Aquaman}}'':
19	** Aquaman fits into this trope since his acquisition of an AncientArtifact which, if myth can be believed, not only holds power over the seven seas of the entire world but all the elements connected with said ocean lord. The ComicBook/New52 version can similarly claim this with his new ProngsOfPoseidon allotted him by the aforementioned sea god to utilize [[ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice with lethal effect]].
20	** Garth, the original Aqualad, can control the temperature of water, which allows him to heat it up or freeze it.
21	* Dr. Victor Fries/Mr. Freeze from ''ComicBook/{{Batman}}''. Unlike other examples, though, his ice-based abilities are not actually powers per se, but ice-based weapons. However, thanks to an unfortunate accident, he can't survive temperatures above freezing, making him a ''literal'' ice person.
22	* ''ComicBook/CaptainCarrotAndHisAmazingZooCrew'' has Cold Turkey (a turkey with a freeze gun) and King Kone (a gorilla in a cryo-suit with an ''ice cream'' gun).
23	* The villain Captain Cold from ''ComicBook/TheFlash'', whose [[FreezeRay "cold gun"]] reaches temperatures of absolute zero, which causes water molecules in the air to immediately form ice, which can be used to freeze people (though because of his code against killing innocents, he usually simply holds people in suspended animation rather than outright kill them), create objects from ice, and also to produce a "cold field" which slows down things around him and is used as explanation as to why he might be able to deal with the Flash. In the ComicBook/New52, he seems to no longer require the cold gun until ''ComicBook/ForeverEvil2013'', when he needs to use it again.
24	* The pre-ComicBook/New52 [[LegacyCharacter Killer Frosts]] from ''ComicBook/FirestormDCComics'' are an interesting variant as well: apparently created by someone with ''slightly'' more understanding of thermodynamics than most Ice People, they absorb heat, rather than projecting cold. This means you can't damage them with fire as they just absorb it. In fact, it just makes them happy -- they use the powers because they can't get warm, due to a side-effect of getting them. Ironically this also means that [[KillItWithIce freezing them]] is even more effective against them than it would be on normal people. The New 52 Killer Frost puts a different spin on it, absorbing others' body heat to keep herself warm. Supers with fire/energy powers, though, can have unpredictable effects on her. No word on what natural or man-made fires would do.
25	* Sigrid Nansen/Icemaiden, who briefly replaced Ice in the Justice League. Her greatest ability is to become very cold and create ice armor in times of great stress.
26	* An issue of ''WesternAnimation/JusticeLeague Adventures'' features a team-up of Icicle, Mr. Freeze, Captain Cold, Killer Frost, obscure ComicBook/WonderWoman foe Minister Blizzard, even more obscure [[ComicBook/TheOutsidersDCComics Outsiders]] foe the Cryonic Man, and downright "Sorry, ''who?''" ComicBook/{{Batman}} foe the Snowman -- all led by Polar Lord, a new villain from [[ComicBook/LegionOfSuperHeroes Polar Boy]]'s home planet. The story is called "Cold War", and the team is called the "Ice Pack".
27	* ''ComicBook/JusticeLeagueOfAmerica'':
28	** Tora Olafsdotter/Ice. She can, at will, project in various forms quantities of ice and snow through her hands just enough to down an opponent. She can create platforms of ice upon which she can skate. In the ''ComicBook/{{Supergirl}}'' storyline ''ComicBook/RedDaughterOfKrypton'', she uses her ice powers to freeze a super-villain who's kicking the butts of three [[ComicBook/GreenLantern Red Lanterns]].
29	** Zan of the Wonder Twins has water powers, but usually takes the form of an ice object when he needs to be solid.
30	* Dr. Joar Mahkent and his son Cameron, both codenamed Icicle, two ''ComicBook/JusticeSocietyOfAmerica'' villains. The first was a normal human with a FreezeRay. His son Cameron, the second Icicle, can generate and control ice. This is because his father's prolonged exposure to the weapon altered his genetics, allowing him to biologically pass down to his son the ability to freeze objects and people or to lower the temperature of a room or other area.
31	* Polar Boy, member of the Legion of Substitute Heroes and ComicBook/LegionOfSuperHeroes, has ice powers.
32	* ''ComicBook/{{The Outsiders\|DCComics}}'': Coldsnap, a member of the villain team the Masters of Disaster, has this power. He's paired, thematically and romantically, with [[PlayingWithFire Heatstroke]], but because of their powers, they can never make physical contact.
33	* ''ComicBook/{{Superman}}'':
34	** Superman, ComicBook/{{Supergirl}} and other Kryptonians can [[SuperBreath expel huge amounts of super-cold air]] to freeze their opponents with or put out fires.
35	** ''ComicBook/{{Bizarrogirl}}'' has freezing EyeBeams.
36	** In ''ComicBook/EscapeFromThePhantomZone'', Supergirl and ComicBook/{{Batgirl}} bump into a metahuman called Caleb who can summon blizzards and ice storms.
37	* Byrna Brilyant (Snowman/Blue Snowman) is a roboticist who uses a FreezeRay to fight ComicBook/WonderWoman. In their original iteration,[[note]]''ComicBook/SensationComics'', ''ComicBook/WonderWoman1942''[[/note]] they have an impressive flying suit of PoweredArmor, a bunch of matching robots, and a WeatherControlMachine capable of filling an entire valley with snow, and their second suit of armor includes a weather machine rather than just a freeze ray. Their ''ComicBook/WonderWomanRebirth'' iteration pilots a MotionCaptureMecha with the weather machine built in.
38	!!Franchise/MarvelUniverse
39	* The ''ComicBook/DarkGuard'' villain Permafrost is an artificially created HumanWeapon who can transform into an ice form and freeze people with a touch. His power has limits, though - he finds out the hard way that it doesn't grant him total immunity to ''extreme'' cold.
40	* Bobby Drake, aka ComicBook/{{Iceman\|MarvelComics}}, from ''ComicBook/XMen''. He transforms into an organic ice form, generates subzero energy to freeze his surroundings, and cools and condenses moisture in the atmosphere into ice, shaping it into various forms such as snowballs, battering rams, shields, solid blocks, columns, and ice slides. That's just how he started out -- turns out, he's an Omega-level mutant (that means his full potential is ''Phoenix-class!'') with complete control over moisture. When ComicBook/EmmaFrost (who is a psychic and normally has nothing to do with ice despite the name and the white outfit) took his body over, she did things with his powers that he could never do on his own... but he's learning bit by bit.
41	** One ''Film/XMenFirstClass'' comic suggests that he could basically become the next [[Characters/TheMightyThorGiants Ymir]].
42	** In the Draco story arc, Bobby Drake gets his head cut off (in Ice form). He later reforms it using the water coming from a demon opponent. Later, Beast issues a research paper regarding this unique mutation for Iceman.
43	** He once cured himself of poisoning by replacing his ''entire'' body with new ice little by little this way.
44	* ComicBook/{{Storm\|MarvelComics}} also has some Ice powers in the form of creating blizzards, but this is usually de-emphaized due to SuperheroSpeciation, and she uses more of her [[ShockAndAwe Thunderstorm]] and [[BlowYouAway Tornado]] abilities. In the animated series, where Iceman wasn't around, Storm was more than happy to whip up blizzards that could flash-freeze things fairly quickly (though not as quickly as Iceman).
45	* The minor villain from ''ComicBook/IronMan'', [[Characters/IronManCentralRoguesGallery Blizzard]], in his multiple incarnations. All the Blizzards have similar powers, derived from their costumes. Micro-circuited cryogenic units make it possible to emit freezing rays, which lower the temperature of the surrounding air (or objects) and release ice as a projectile.
46	* From ''ComicBook/TheMightyThor'':
47	** [[Characters/TheMightyThorGiants Skurge the Executioner]]. Using his Axe, he opens a portal ([[AbsurdlySharpBlade by cutting the air]]) to a dimension of cold, letting the icy wind blow onto his enemies. He can also do the same thing with a dimension of [[PlayingWithFire fire]].
48	** [[Characters/TheMightyThorGiants Ymir]] can create blizzards with no effort, among other such Ice-related abilities (he is much stronger than most Giants, as he is the original Norse one). However, unlike Frost Giants, he is an Ice Giant and seems to be literal living ice.
49	** [[Characters/MarvelComicsAsgardians Kelda]] has weather control powers, which includes generating ice and forming weapons from it. And she can make poisonous ice.
50	** ComicBook/{{Loki}} has many mystical powers at his disposal, but he's got a talent for ice magic thanks to his Frost Giant heritage.
51	* There was an obscure GoldenAge Creator/MarvelComics hero named [[Characters/InvadersSupportingCharacters Jack Frost]] with these powers. ComicBook/TheMightyThor eventually declared him to have been a diminutive [[Myth/NorseMythology frost giant]].
52	* In ''ComicBook/{{Runaways 2015}}'', Sanna Strand is capable of generating ice from her hands.
53	* Luna Snow, a K-Pop star and one of the ComicBook/AgentsOfAtlas.
54	!!Other Comics
55	* Sub-Zero, from ''Blue Bolt Comics'', gained ice powers when his spaceship passed through a comet.
56	* Tor from ''Crack Comics'' had control over ice.
57	* Frostbite from ''ComicBook/DV8'' has an odd twist on the formula: his power is absorbing heat. He uses this to freeze enemies in their tracks, but he can also release his stored heat in an explosive blast.
58	* One-shot ''ComicBook/{{Empowered}}'' villain Icy Mike, for whom Thugboy once worked.
59	* Arctica Lagopus from the series ''ComicBook/{{Extinctioners}}'', an Arctic Fox with Ice powers. Didn't see that one coming.
60	* The Snow Queen is a prominent villain in ''ComicBook/{{Fables}}''.
61	* Ice Princess and Coldstar both have ice-controlling powers in ''ComicBook/LessThanThreeComics''.
62	* Elijah [[MeaningfulName Snow]] from ''ComicBook/{{Planetary}}''. Not quite frost projection, but the ability to draw heat out of an object on a molecular level; in his second appearance, he turns nerve gas to slush.
63	* Dr. Frost from ''Prize Comics'' had ice powers and would encase himself in ice to survive explosions.
64	* ''ComicBook/ThePowerpuffGirls'': In "No Business Like Snow Business" (DC run, issue #39), Mojo Jojo corners the market on winter goods and in the middle of summer creates a blizzard in Townsville. His weapon is a Zamboni with a snow and ice cannon.
65	* ''ComicBook/{{Snowman}}'': The titular snowman is the revenge-seeking spirit of a Native American man who saw his tribe and family slaughtered by a white man. When he died, his spirit seems to have become bound to his dead wife's crystals, which allow him to manifest whenever they touch snow. Now he has the power to control ice and snow, which he has devoted to his RoaringRampageOfRevenge against all white people on American soil.
