KOTC Database Entry: SUB-ZERO
|
| QUOTE: | "Dammit! No-one threatens children while Sub-Zero is around!" "I am the Fearless Leader!" "Let's go in blasting! That's always worked so well for us!" |
BACKGROUND: |
A substitute teacher (algebra) by trade, Sub-Zero was forever changed by a freak accident (see file on Ice-9) that changed his molecular makeup, allowing him to transform his epidermis to ice and perform a host of other effects, but leaving him vulnerable to higher temperatures. Since then he has tried to balance the responsibilities provided with his powers against his duty as a teacher. He has also taught (at times) at the St. Ives Academy for Gifted Students, where both of his desires could at last be realized. Amongst other villains that Sub-Zero must beware of, he has been singled out for attention by the cold-based villain group I.G.L.O.O., who seek to capture him for their own nefarious purposes. In the aftermath of his selfless acts at the Mesa Flats reactor, Sub-Zero has been accused of being mildly radioactive, and his powers are in a state of flux. Now possibly composed of Ice-10. Bears scars from having been impaled on a harpoon. |

From his self-written introduction for the celebrity auction; "Sometimes known as the cold shoulder of justice, this super duper hero is a hot catch, ladies! Stanley, the ranking member of the Knights of the Coast and their fearless leader also has a sensitive side that will melt any girls heart. He enjoys long walks in the park and candle-lit dinners. When he is not saving the city, he is a teacher who is dedicated to his job." |
