History:


Timothy Slavin was at home at the computer. He was an expert hacker and he could design a web page for any business within a week. Tim was currently working for a technological research and development firm. Designing a web site for them was the highest paid job he had gotten thus far. In order to design the most informative Web site possible, Tim chose to visit the main facility to get a greater understanding of the kind of technological advances the company was developing. While browsing through the large complex Tim found an open lab where the technicians were using a Cold Ray on a target wall. Within seconds the wall was frozen brittle and a small tap was all that was necessary to demolish it. Tim walked over to get a closer look at this new device.
As Tim spoke to the scientist who had imagined, designed and built the apparatus he learned that it was developed for the purpose of mining so that it would replace dangerous blasting practices and also it would be far safer ecologically. While the Scientist was adjusting a control on the Cold Ray something broke inside the device. As the scientist aimed the Ray at a new and larger target wall Tim turned to leave. Before anyone had known what happened The Cold Ray exploded in a flash of ice and snow. The Cryo-Energy within the device froze everyone within a few feet of the device the residual radiation overcame Timothy and rendered him into a suspended animation Coma.
A few months later Timothy woke up. The first visitor he had was his good friend Michael Kramer who had become the super hero known as The Golden Dragon. Michael informed Tim of all the things that had happened while he was in his coma including the formation of the Force of Nature and the shut down of the lab Tim had visited. As Tim recovered he settled back into his normal life and used a laptop to reassume his career.
Once while working on a Site with a cup of Coffee in his hand Tim burned his tongue. The Coffee was scalding hot but Tim just instinctively stared at it and before his eyes the coffee turned into a brown block of ice! Tim got up from his desk and turned on the water in his kitchen sink. Tim then stared at the running water and before his own eyes his stare froze the water instantly.
Tim went to see Michael and told him of his newfound ability then he asked Michael to thaw him out after his next experiment. Tim went to a full-size mirror and turned his Icy Stare on himself. He did not freeze himself solid instead he had altered his appearance and turned his skin pale to almost bone white his hair turned a deep shade of blue and his eyes were no longer Hazel but Ice Blue! As Tim celebrated his newfound powers he jumped into the air. And to his and Michael’s surprise that’s where he stayed! In addition to his Cold generating Power Tim had somehow gained the power to fly. Michael suggested Tim develop a superhero identity for himself. Tim chose the name Coldsnap on the grounds that he could freeze anything he wanted to in a snap! Michael assisted Tim in developing a cold power resistant costume as Tim’s clothes were instantly destroyed by his own power which had left him naked and embarrassed. On his first outing as cold snap Tim discovered other abilities resulting from his powers. While he learns to develop and control his powers he has resumed his career and is currently designing a web site for the force of Nature and also mini sites for it’s individual members.

Powers:


Timothy Slavin is world-class computer expert and hacker. His specialty is creating and designing web-sites for major companies and lesser known organizations. As Coldsnap he has discovered several powers resulting from the explosion. Tim can alter his appearance at will by turning his Power on himself and change his skin eye and hair pigments rendering himself unrecognizable to others.
His "Icy Stare" projects intense cold into whoever or whatever he sees and freezes them fast. Also Tim has discovered a Cold field that his generated by his will that deflects bullets and other weapons. Even a nuclear blast has been found to have no appreciable affect on him. People who have tried to strike Tim have been reduced to Ice-statues by hitting this "Cold Field."
Tim has also learned that the Cryo-Blast has stopped his aging and thus he has become immortal. For some unknown reason Tim’s cold powers have also given him the ability to fly, but he doesn’t understand how or why, nor does he care. Tim’s Uniform is a special fabric treated by a Special type of antifreeze that protects it from his powers. It has not yet been established what weaknesses Tim has but it is known that his strength and stamina have remained normal. No matter his appearance Tim’s internal temperature remains normal as well.
