Origin and History:Dr. Victor Fries was one of Gothcorp's most brilliant scientists and cryogenic researchers, however he was unable to cure his wife Nora of a disease. His research in cryogenics was eventually cut off by the bureaucrats at Gothcorp. His experiment to create a cryogenic freezing chamber to house his wife until a cure could be found was interrupted by Frank Boyle, C.E.O. of Gothcorp, and his security guards. A fight ensured, accompanied by an explosion. In the explosion, Dr. Fries was smashed into the cryogenic freezing tanks. The accident soaked Dr. Fries' entire body with the freezing solution and rendered him unable to survive outside of a sub-zero environment. He vowed revenge on thoes who had wronged him. He was forced to create a vacuum battlesuit which maintained his body temperature at 50 degrees below zero. The suit's cybernetic processor also tripled his strength. After building a laser-powered cold gun, Mr. Freeze was born.
Driven by hatred over the destruction of his life and maddened by his condition he persues a life of crime and vengeance by destroying Ferris Boyle and crippling Gothcorp. His plans were stopped by Batman. Mr. Freeze became bent on destroying Batman since he blocked his mission for revenge. He a is quiet, but dangerous adversary. Mr. Freeze is an angry and saddened man, who is sentenced to Arkham Asylum when apprehended. A special cell is designed to maintain his need for a frozen environment. He is alone and his only modivation comes from his wife's music box, which he holds as his last piece of the happiness he once had. He is viewed as a loner by the rogues gallery, and generally does not hold alliances with any of the other inmates of Arkham. Batman knows he is a dangerous adversary, and that the traumas that occured in Mr. Freeze's life are scars which will never heal.
