I is for Icicle Jr.

This is being posted a day late because somehow I accidentally deleted the game stats portion of the post. My J post will go live this evening.

----------------------------

Cameron Mahkent is the son of the original Icicle. While his father uses a cold gun (much like Captain Cold), he is a metahuman who's DNA was altered by his father's exposure to the gold gun. While he's a legacy character, Cameron isn't a villain because his father is. He's a villain because he's an ruthless jerk. This didn't stop him from getting an invite to join the Justice Society (though he obviously turned it down).

Icicle's time with the Squad wasn't that long. He was recruited to a rogue Squad by Mirror Master. This was in the One Year Later storyline. 

Cameron has appeared in Smallville, The Flash, and Stargirl. In the latter he actually has a relationship with the titular heroine. My favorite version of Icicle Jr. is the one that appeared in Young Justice. He developed a friendship with Superboy and Miss Martian when they went undercover at Belle Reve. After their identities were revealed he still maintained a friendship with them. He's even shown crying at their wedding in the current last episode (I say that because I'd love for the series to get another season).

Encase In Ice (Recharge 5-6). Ranged Weapon Attack. +5 to hit, range 10/30 ft., one target, Hit: 10 (2d6+3) cold damage. The target must make a DC 12 Constitution saving throw. On a failure, ice begins to form around the creature, and it is restrained. The restrained creature must repeat the saving throw at the end of its next turn, becoming petrified in ice on a failure or ending the effect on a success. The petrification lasts until the creature spends at least 1 hour in a warm environment.

  1. I did watch Young Justice but I guess I didn't pay attention to that part in the last episode.
