| | Don Markstein's Toonopedia: Iceman |
 | | Iceman, part of the first batch of Marvel Comics mutants, was introduced (along with the rest of the first batch) in X-Men #1, dated September, 1963. |
 | | Iceman (civilian name, Bobby Drake) was analogous to The Human Torch (young and brash, the team's semi-mature cut-up), but with an opposite super power (the ability to freeze things instantly, rather than burn them). |
 | | He even, at an early point in the series, developed a way of using his power to to travel through the air at high speed, analogous to the Torch's flame-powered flight he'd freeze moisture from the air in front of him and slide along it, leaving a ribbon of ice as his trail. |
