Cameron Mahkent (New Earth)

Persistent exposure to the cold gun once used by his father, Joar Mahkent, prompted a metabolic change in Cameron's body chemistry granting him powers of temperature control and ice generation.

First appearance

Infinity Inc. #34
(January, 1987)

History

Cameron became the second Icicle shortly before joining the Wizard's Injustice Unlimited group, who fought both the Global Guardians and Infinity, Inc. After he engaged in battle against the Star-Spangled Kid, S.T.R.I.P.E. and Starman, he joined the new Injustice Society at the invitation of Johnny Sorrow, who released him from his prison cell. During Stealing Thunder he helped the JSA against Ultra-Humanite. Cameron doesn't care about his father's Golden age villainous legacy. He became a villain, not because of legacy, but because he's not a nice guy. He is a far more ruthless foe than his predecessor. He has recently begun a relationship with his teammate, the Tigress.

One Year Later, he was approached by Mirror Master to join the Suicide Squad for a mission.

Powers and Abilities

Powers

Unlike his father, Cameron Mahkent has no need for a 'cold gun', as he has somehow internalized the ability to freeze objects and people or to lower the temperature of a room or other area. This ability unintentionally gave his skin an albino pigment. Icicle can lower the ambient temperature of his immediate vicinity to several hundred degrees below zero.

Abilities

Cameron Mahkent is an above average hand-to-hand combatant.

Strength level

Cameron Mahkent possesses the strength level of a man his age, size and weight who engages in moderate, regular exercise.

Paraphernalia

Equipment: None known.

Notes

The original Icicle was created by writer Robert Kanigher. The second Icicle was created by Roy Thomas, Dann Thomas and Todd McFarlane.

Trivia

A pastiche of the Icicle named Dr. Blizzard appeared on the season one Justice League episode known as "Legends". Actor Corey Burton provided the voice for Dr. Blizzard.
