FRIZONE

Real Name: Unrevealed

Identity/Class: Human technology user

Occupation: Troublemaker

Group Membership: None

Affiliations: None

Enemies: Human Torch (Johnny Storm)

Known Relatives: None

Aliases: None

Base of Operations: Mobile

First Appearance: Hostess Fruit Pies ad "The Human Torch Saves the Valley!" from Ghost Rider II#49 (October 1980) and other publications in that month.

Powers/Abilities: Frizone was an experienced air-plane pilot who flew a crop-duster bi-plane, from which he sprayed chemicals. The chemicals could lower the air temperature and cause a quick-freeze of the environment.

History: Frizone (who preferred cold weather) used his plane to spray a chemical in the valley that lowered the temperature and caused the environment to freeze. When the snow threatened the orchard trees, the Human Torch flew into action. First, the Torch threw some packages of Hostess Fruit Pies at the frigid felon, letting him taste the flaky crust and real fruit filling of the delicious snack; then the Torch pointed out to Frizone that if he froze over the orchards, there would be no more fruit, and thus no more Hostess FRUIT Pies. Seeing the error of his ways, the nippy knave had a change of heart and decided to abandon his plans, thus allowing the the Torch to defrost the orchards.

Comments: Created by an unknown writer and an unknown artist.

This is purly speculative on my part, but maybe Frizone is the Icemaster -- their faces look similar, they both have similar moustaches (Frizone may have grown the beard later as Icemaster), and they both have similar modus operandi. Perhaps Frizone was a victim of a chemical-spill accident involving his own freezing chemicals (ala DC Comics' Mr. Freeze) which transformed him into Icemaster.

Frizone was mentioned in the Appendix to the Fantastic Four Encyclopedia.
