The 10 Coolest Ice Characters To Ever Appear in TV, Movies, Games, or Books

5) The White Witch

Winter is awesome in many respects, but forever? And with no Christmas! ****ing lame. But that’s exactly what the nasty albino queen of Narnia had planned, until Jesus Aslan came back and kicked her ass. Kind of where the term “Ice Queen” comes from which we now use to classify bitchy girls at bars.

4) Jack Frost

He’s an evil snowman! That kills naked girls! Come on! And don’t confuse him with the Michael Keaton or Martin Short variations, or he’ll eat you. Because he has teeth. Even though he’s a snowman. Why didn’t anyone think of just turning the thermostat up?

3) Mr. Freeze

Classic Freeze only, do not mention Arnold Schwarzenegger here please. Not hockey playing glow in the dark minions. Ugh. Mr. Freeze was a damn cool villain, and always made for a good few episodes in the classic animated series and in the comic books. Did he ever actually get his wife out of cryo-freeze? I hope so, he earned it.

2) Iceman

He has by far the coolest ice powers of anyone on this list, if we’re talking about the version that isn’t angsty Shawn Ashmore that is. He has an ice surfboard, can throw razor sharp icicles and can even make himself gynormous by adding extra ice to his body. He’s one bitchin’ X-Man, and every else needs to stop ripping off his powers (looking at you Heroes).

1) Sub-Zero

Ah, my namesake, in case you hadn’t noticed, and yeah I’m giving him the number one spot because I’m biased. He’s everything an Icy badass should be. He can freeze you, melt you and as an added bonus, rip your spine from your body. Way, way cooler than Smoke or Reptile or even Scorpion (yeah I said it) he’s probably the most classic Mortal Kombat character to date. Until they remake the MK movie and he’s played by Jason Statham or someone.

If you mention Tracy from Heroes, you obviously haven’t read this article.

*And yes we could maybe add Elsa?  But I think I’d rather add that tough snow monster he created.  However, he was WAY too brittle.   But yeah, we love Olaf too.  Silver Surfer is debatable.  We think he’s more surf than ice.
