Mr. Freeze

Mr. Freeze is a supervillain who uses ice-based powers to commit crimes. He was created by Dave Wood, Sheldon Moldoff and Bob Kane, and first appeared in Batman #121 in February 1959. He was originally called Mr. Zero, but was later renamed Mr. Freeze. Mr. Freeze is the alter ego of Dr. Victor Fries, a German-born cryogenics expert who was caught in a laboratory mishap while trying to cure his terminally ill wife, Nora. The accident drastically lowered his body temperature to sub-zero levels, forcing him to wear a cryogenic suit in order to survive. Fries turns to crime to find a cure for his wife's illness, which often puts him into conflict with Batman. He has been adapted in various media incarnations, having been portrayed in live-action by George Sanders, Otto Preminger and Eli Wallach in the 1960s Batman television series, Arnold Schwarzenegger in the 1997 film Batman & Robin, and Nathan Darrow in the Fox crime drama Gotham. Michael Ansara, Clancy Brown, Maurice LaMarche, and others have provided his voice in media ranging from animation to video games.
