theposthumans | Bobby Drake
Character name: Robert "Bobby" Drake | Iceman
Character fandom: Marvel 616 - X-Men
Canon point: After the vampires arc, before To Serve and Protect (blessed holy water)
Personality:
Bobby will always have a part of him that aspires to be the class clown, the jokester, the guy good for a quick laugh or a stupid joke. If you didn’t know he was a mutant, he could easily pass as your stereotypical all-American boy from a middle class family who grows up to be an accountant, an all-around funny guy too. He’s got an earnestness that resembles the ideal of the all-American boy. And he’s got some of its flaws too, as a guy who isn’t very good at subtlety or smooth tactfulness. Bobby is the everyday guy’s guy--likable enough as long as you can tolerate his immature attitude and smart mouth. He will never stop ribbing on you.
As the youngest of the original X-Men, Bobby is somewhat spoiled and self-centered. He likes being the center of attention and in any tense situation, he’s usually the guy who always tries for a lighter mood. He has a strong moral center, he always roots for the underdog and is the guy who will stand up to bullies, ever confident that he’ll find a way out of a tricky situation. He is protective of the people he cares about. Bobby is pretty soft-hearted and is a guy who easily falls into relationships, happy when he feels like he's connected to another person. This also makes him prone to being easily blind to faults however and he may sometimes place people on pedestals. But that's part of Bobby's openness with his heart. He is a loyal friend and a dedicated team member.
The past few years of tragedy and darkness for the X-Men have hardened Bobby a little, you can actually see moments of seriousness on his face. But he’s still got that soft mushy heart and is one of the nicest people you can ever call a friend.
History: http://no-icy-limits.
Strengths:
- Bobby is known as an Omega level mutant. While there's no known official description of this rank from the canon, this rank is known to denote a mutant with a very high level of power and ability. He's on the extreme end of power, pretty powerful mutant.
- Bobby's mutant power is thermo- and cryokinesis. He has the ability to manipulate water and ice to very cold temperatures and can also do this to his body. He can collect water/moisture from any living form or the air itself, being able to regenerate himself just from vapor should his ice form ever shatter. This power includes thermal vision. He is well trained in using his power to generate ice objects like ice slides, ice blades or funny statues of Namor to make fun of him.
- Being a carrier of the X-gene, he doesn't age normally and his metabolism is very high just to maintain his level of power. So yes, he can eat a lot of food.
- Pulls off pranks pretty well, likes to make jokes and knows most of the cheesy ones.
- Basketball, Accounting, Flirting
Weaknesses:
- Women/Wanting to be in love
- Going with the flow, wants to please people too much
- Aliens who will latch onto his head and make him pass out
- He always looks for the joke, he's kinda bad at being the serious one. This is one of the reasons he's not the leader.
- Spoiled and self-centered
