He has a positive outlook on life and generally sticks up for the underdog. He often sees the good in most everybody and will often try to diffuse difficult situations with a joke or deflection. It has been said that: "one of Iceman's best personality traits is that emotionally Bobby Drake is like the ice he manipulates -- not cold but transparent. 'He's devastatingly honest. He is very up-front with his emotions and his thoughts all the time". He is also brave, and straightforward and will not avoid unpleasant situations.<br/><br/><strong>Hobbies:</strong>Hockey, video games<br/><br/><strong>History:</strong><br/>Bobby was born in Long Island, New York to a Jewish mother and an Irish Catholic father and he was an only child. His early life was very typical suburban American, and his mutation showed at a slightly early age, the first symptoms simply being that he was cold all the time. Eventually he figured out he was a mutant but he kept it suppressed and hidden from everybody.<br/><br/>At one point a school bully and his thugs cornering him and his then-girlfriend. Bobby defended them, encasing his attacker in ice and revealing himself to his peers as a mutant. The town believed him to be dangerous and a mob was formed to kill Bobby, breaking into his home and overpowering him and his family. Luckily the local Sheriff intervened, taking Bobby away from them for protection, with the events causing enough news to reach Professor X.<br/><br/>Xavier sent Cyclops to recruit Bobby who at first turned him down, but a fresh mob chose that moment to attack the pair and, being unwilling to kill the civilians, they almost met their ends at the hands of the normal humans. Luckily, once again, Professor Xavier intervened, using his powers to erase the mob's memories and free Bobby and Cyclops. Bobby then finally agreed to come to the mansion and learn how to control his powers, as well as about mutants and their history. It was there that he took on the 'nickname' Iceman as he trained for the last two years, learning to control his powers, fight, and survive.<br/><br/>During the fighting Iceman did his best to prove how much he'd learned, but in the end he'd been severely hurt and had spent most of the summer trying to recover.<br/><br/><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 18pt;"><span class="bbc_u">Mutations and Powers</span></span><br/><strong>Classification:</strong>Alpha (for now)<br/><br/><strong>Type of mutant:</strong>First of family<br/><br/><strong>Powers:</strong><br/><em>Thermokinesis</em>- Bobby's power, at its base, is the ability to make things cold, removing the heat energy from them in an unknown fashion. He can essentially lower his internal body temperature to absolute zero within the span of a few tenths of a second. These powers work regardless of the visible water or moisture around him, though it is harder in harsh desert like environments and takes more effort. This ability gives him the power to do some amazing things, such as:<br/><em>Cryokinesis</em>- Bobby can control moisture, freezing any moisture, including just what's in the air, into super hard ice. The ice can be in nearly any form Bobby can think of and with his time practicing at the instute he's managed to use it to sculpt objects, create things like ladders, fling bolts or balls of ice and snow, or erect instant durable barriers (these have been shown to even keep the Hulk contained for a shirt period). He can even shape his ice into a slid that allows him to 'skate' at high speeds which he often uses to get around.<br/><em>Thermal Vision</em>- In short, Bobby can see as if he were looking through a thermal camera, though he sees a lack of heat rather than heat signatures.<br/><em>Ice Form</em>- By lowering his entire body far below freezing he can turn himself into super dense and hard organic ice, similar to the way Colossus becomes organic steel. This form is extremely durable and has been described as virtually indestructible. Even if he were to be shattered he would be able to pull his pieces back together, though he does not yet know he has this ability.<br/><em>Ice Construct Generation</em>- Bobby can create abstract 'clones' of himself. Structures of ice that vaguely have his own shape (though they can be modified - larger for strength, smaller for speed, etc). He can only create one of these at a time and they only have rudamentary intelligence, but they do follow his orders and can act independently in a vague fashion.<br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Future Powers</div><div class="spoiler_body">In the future, Bobby will have the ability to lower temperature on a vast scale. It is said that his potential would allow him to even alter Earth's ecosystem. He will have the ability to disperse himself into moisture and reform himself nearly anywhere, posisbly taking others with him, and he will eventually be able to not just freeze people and objects, but literally turn them to ice the same way he does his own body.</div></div><br/><strong>Abilities:</strong>Hockey, Accounting, Spanish, (more to come?)<br/><br/><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 18pt;"><span class="bbc_u">School Information</span></span><br/><strong>Classes Taken:</strong>Mental Resilience, History (both), Power Control<br/><br/><strong>Clubs/Extracurriculars:</strong>Swimming, Photography<br/><br/><strong>Student Relations:</strong>TBD
