8[[caption-width-right:350:A rarely noted side effect of this trope is the ability to [[SlouchOfVillainy just be chill]].]]
9----
10* The [[Characters/AdventureTimeIceKing Ice King]] from ''WesternAnimation/AdventureTime'' has control over ice and snow and can use it to freeze people, make ice structures and storms, and create beings out of snow. In addition, [[StartOfDarkness the story behind his powers]] was one of [[TearJerker the most important moments from the series]], signifying a [[WhamEpisode radical change in overall tones]] and forever changing the character's {{canon}}.
11** He actually uses the same pun as the trope title at one point. In the episode "Loyalty to the King", after shaving his huge beard, he introduces himself as "an ice king", is misheard as saying "a NICE king", and then he just runs with it until his true identity is revealed when the beard grows back.
12** Patience St. Pim, the ElementalEmbodiment of ice, also has frost powers. Unlike the Ice King, however, who derives his powers from his cursed crown, Patience naturally controls her magic, giving her greater finesse and ability. For example, her ice structures are more symmetrical, and she can thaw them at will.
13* Every single [[MakingASplash Waterbender]] in ''WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender'' and SequelSeries ''WesternAnimation/TheLegendOfKorra''. Though it's implied that turning water into ice with bending is an advanced technique. In the latter series' time, it's against the rules for Waterbenders to use ice in the sport of Pro-Bending.
14* Logically, Mr. Freeze's incarnation from ''WesternAnimation/BatmanTheAnimatedSeries'', ''WesternAnimation/TheBatman'', and ''WesternAnimation/BatmanBeyond''. More an AntiVillain than proper evil.
15* Big Chill in ''WesternAnimation/Ben10AlienForce'' and ''WesternAnimation/Ben10UltimateAlien'', as well as Articguana and Heatblast (though Heatblast can only do so [[NoBiochemicalBarriers when under the influence of a rhinovirus]]).
16* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZLnmWVhrWKk Jack Frost]] from ''The Brollys'', the literal form of winter itself...and he's not a very nice guy for an ice guy.
17* Professor Coldheart from the Dic era ''Franchise/CareBears'' cartoons. Not only was he a blue man with shock white hair, he also used a variety of ice-based science gadgets to freeze people's emotions and make them evil. Except during that one time he made a machine to cover the city in concrete...for some reason. Later aided by his sidekick Frostbite and his aunt, Auntie Freeze.
18* Danny himself, as well as a tribe of ghost yetis in ''WesternAnimation/DannyPhantom''.
19* ''WesternAnimation/DarkwingDuck'' had a villain based on this once: Isis ("Icy") Vanderchill. Unlike others, her goal is to ''warm up'', as [[BlessedWithSuck her "powers" of cold are both involuntary and uncomfortable to her]], and her first episode "[[Recap/DarkwingDuckS1E26AllsFahrenheitInLoveAndWar All's Fahrenheit in Love and War]]" is about her efforts to warm up.
20* The evil magician [[Characters/TheDragonPrinceViren Viren]] from ''WesternAnimation/TheDragonPrince'' knows a spell with which he can make ice. However, this is attributed to [[BlowYouAway sky magic]]. At the end of the second season, he uses another spell [[LiterallyShatteredLives to kill two attacking soldiers]].
21* Man-arctica from ''WesternAnimation/FanboyAndChumChum'', as well as Barry the Ice Monster, who controls the Frosty Freezy Freeze machine.
22** Also, a big fan of Man-artica, who gains ice powers from a super powerful Frosty Freezy Freeze that freezes him alive for the majority of the episode.
23* ''Frosty's Winter Wonderland'', the sequel to [[Creator/RankinBassProductions Rankin Bass']] ''WesternAnimation/FrostyTheSnowman'', has a Jack Frost who is more childish and irascible than the other Rankin-Bass Jack Frost mentioned below. Jealous of the children's love for Frosty, he's the main antagonist until he's flattered into a HeelFaceTurn.
24* The ''Franchise/LiloAndStitch'' franchise has [[Characters/LiloAndStitchExperiments Stitch's "cousin"]] Slushy (Experiment 523), a living ice creature whose powers are strong enough that, as seen in his debut in ''WesternAnimation/LiloAndStitchTheSeries'', can plunge a tropical island into a winter wonderland and potentially cause an ice age. He can even make weapons out of ice in an instant. After his HeelFaceTurn, however, he uses his powers to make delicious Hawaiian shave ice.
25* ''WesternAnimation/MarthaSpeaks'': Not really, but [[TalkingAnimal Martha]] once had a dream where [[LovableJock Alice]] [[TheKlutz Boxwood]] was an Ice Person called "Al-Ice".
26%%* Killer Frost in ''[[WesternAnimation/JusticeLeague Justice League Unlimited]]''.
27* ''WesternAnimation/{{Mixels}}'': Every member of the Frosticon tribe has something along these lines.
28* ''Franchise/MyLittlePony'':
29** ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyAndFriends'': Ice orcs are beings made of living ice that can shoot freezing, ice-generating HandBlasts.
30** ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'':
31*** Windigoes are winter spirits that feed off fighting and hatred. With enough hate, they could bury an entire land in snow and encase all of its inhabitants in ice.
32*** "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS4E6PowerPonies Power Ponies]]": The Masked Matterhorn creates a SlipperySkid that neatly decommissions three henchponies.
33* In ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyAndFriends'', King Charlatan could fire cold beams [[EyeBeams from his eyes]]. By using a machine to amplify his power, he could freeze the entire world.
34* ''WesternAnimation/TheNewAdventuresOfSuperman'': In "The Abominable Iceman", the eponymous beast uses his ice powers to freeze Hawaii, including freezing a volcano solid.
35* Zane, the ninja of ice from ''WesternAnimation/{{Ninjago}}''. He wields shurikens that freeze things they touch, and his special attack is a giant freeze ray.
36* ''WesternAnimation/ThePowerpuffGirls''
37** Blossom is a heroic example, as her special power is ice breath.
38** In "Power Lunch", Ace of the Gangreen Gang [[SuperpowersForADay temporarily]] gets ice powers from eating ice cream. Apparently, his ice powers are even stronger since he can easily break out of Blossom's ice breath and can even hold the girls in place by freezing them.
39* ''WesternAnimation/RankinBassJackFrost'' has the title character, of course, but also a whole kingdom of them living in the clouds, whose job is PaintingTheFrostOnWindows (and everywhere else). Included are Father Winter, their ruler; Snip, who personally cuts each snowflake; the Snow Gypsies, who deposit them on Earth; the Slush Sisters; etc.
40* King Winterbolt, the BigBad of ''WesternAnimation/RudolphAndFrostysChristmasInJuly'', is a sorcerer who ruled the North Pole long before Santa Claus settled there. Not only does he cause a powerful blizzard that forces Santa to retreat to ground level during the events of the film, but he was ''also'' responsible for the windstorm that occurred during ''WesternAnimation/RudolphTheRedNosedReindeer'' (The same one that almost canceled Christmas).
41* In ''WesternAnimation/SantaClausIsCominToTown'', The Winter Warlock lives up to his name, at least until [[HeelFaceTurn he turns nice]] and loses most of his powers...
42* ''WesternAnimation/ShadowRaiders'' has an entire planet of Ice People InsectoidAliens; Planet Ice.
43* ''WesternAnimation/SheRaAndThePrincessesOfPower'': Frosta has ice powers reminiscent of Ice Man. She derives her powers from the Fractal Flake.
44* Sliced Ice from ''WesternAnimation/SkysurferStrikeForce'', due to the freezing abilities of her sword.
45* WesternAnimation/SpeedBuggy and his teenage pals deal with the aptly named Professor Snow and Madam Ice, two megalomaniacs who want Tinker to program their ice robots in a bid for world conquest.
46* Maureen "Permafrost" O'Connor, a one-time ''WesternAnimation/StaticShock'' character in a VerySpecialEpisode about homelessness, had this as her power.
47** She was also a little nuts, but not bad, which is good -- she was one of the most powerful metahumans they faced and, if she ''wanted'' to, she could have put the whole city in an ice age in seconds.
48* Sapphire from ''WesternAnimation/StevenUniverse'', juxtaposed to her counterpart Ruby having [[PlayingWithFire power over heat]]. Sapphire can turn a motel room into a meat locker or Rose's Garden into a winter scene in a matter of minutes.
49* Mochi Macchiato from ''WesternAnimation/SushiPack'' can freeze her enemies in their tracks and can also freeze anything she touches. This makes her the opposite of Wasabi who has [[PlayingWithFire fire-based powers]].
50%%* Blitzwing's aptly named "Icy" persona in ''WesternAnimation/TransformersAnimated''.
51* BigBad Arktos from ''WesternAnimation/{{Tabaluga}}'' is a [[{{Snowlems}} living snowman]] with the power, and ambition, to freeze nearly anything and everything.
52* On ''WesternAnimation/WanderOverYonder'', Lord Dominator starts off with [[MagmaMan the power of a lava-like substance]] and later gets the power of ice following [[NiceJobBreakingItHero Peepers' attempt to freeze her and her ship]].
53* Possibly ''the'' most common power in ''WesternAnimation/WinxClub'': besides the most common user [[MeaningfulName Icy]], we have Belladona of the Ancestral Witches, background character Alice ([[InformedAttribute or so we're told]]), Aurora of the Major Fairies of Earth, and Aurora's ''army'' the Artic Fairies.
54* Omi of ''WesternAnimation/XiaolinShowdown'' can adapt his Orb of Tornami Shen Gong Wu to become this.
55* Snow Miser from ''WesternAnimation/TheYearWithoutASantaClaus'' rules the [[GrimUpNorth North]] and wants the whole world to be cold, in contrast to his brother, Heat Miser, who's... basically the opposite of all that.
56-->''Friends call me Snow Miser! Whatever I touch''
57-->''Turns to snow in my clutch!''
58-->''Ha ha... I'm too much!''
59* In the first episode of ''WesternAnimation/YoungJustice2010'', several ice-based enemies (Mr. Freeze, Icicle Jr., Killer Frost, and Captain Cold) attack separate cities at once. The League finds this an unlikely coincidence and goes to investigate. It turns out that they were planning to meet up with Icicle Sr. in prison and planning a prison break. In a later episode, when North America is paralyzed by freak ice storms, Batman and The Flash go straight to question the previously established ice villains.
