History:
(Captain America I#392 (fb) - BTS) - The supervillain known as Ice
Princess was of Inuit descent, but spoke fluid English. Through
unrevealed ways she gained control over ice and frost. Her exploits
remained largely unknown, though Superia was aware of her existence.
(Captain America I#387 - BTS) - Ice Princess was one of dozens of
costumed, super powered women with villainous intent approached by
agents of Superia to join her cause. They gathered on board Superia's
yacht, posing as ordinary travelers in their civilian clothing bound
for Femizonia Island.
(Captain America I#388 - BTS) - Ice Princess remained below decks
during the day, not involving herself with the (not so) friendly
sparring matches some of the other super powered passengers engaged in
above board.
(Captain America I#389) - Later that night, Ice Princess attended the
Pageant of Power, a ceremony hosted by Princess Python who called all
of the female villains on stage one by one for a brief introduction.
Once Ferocia got on stage, her keen senses instantly picked up the
presence of Captain America and Paladin (who had snuck on board to
rescue Diamondback). Deadly Nightshade ordered Ice Princess and
the others to get the male heroes, promising double allowance to
whoever stopped them.
(Captain America
I#390) - Ice Princess joined Frenzy and Ferocia in their attempt to
subdue Paladin. She covered the right side of his body in ice, leaving
the mercenary helpless to defend himself. Paladin yelled out for
Captain America who dodged Vapor, Impala and Whiplash to reach
Paladin. Ice Princess could not prevent the Avenger from freeing his
associate. She then joined Vertigo, Weather Witch, Wrangler and
Whiplash in pummeling their assailants from all angles. The fight
ended when Whiplash caught Paladin and Cap was so distracted dodging
Ice Princess' shard blasts that he was unable to avoid Knockout's coup
de grace.
(Captain America I#390 - BTS) - Upon arrival at Femizonia Island, Cap
and Paladin were immediately brought before Superia who decided she
would turn them into women.
(Captain America I#391) - Fresh off the boat, Ice Princess and her
fellow new arrivals were greeted by Superia who welcomed them to her
utopian isle. She promised them they would soon become the most
important people on Earth (Superia intended to bring forth the
Femizonia foretold by Thundra by launching a rocket that would
sterilize all the woman on Earth except for those she brought
together on her hermetically sealed island).
(Captain America I#392) - After Captain America and Paladin were freed
thanks to Diamondback and her friends Asp and Black Mamba, the
Femizons were tasked to seek them out. Ice Princess, along with Iron
Maiden, Whiteout and Ferocia ran into Paladin, Diamondback and Asp.
Whiteout tried to blind the trio, but Asp's energy blast took her out.
Ice Princess stepped up to the plate, speaking the words "Experience
winter" in Inuit while she summoned a fearsome icestorm that pounded
her victims. Calling off the storm to let Ferocia and Iron Maiden
engage Asp and Paladin, Ice Princess formed two deadly icicles she
threw at Diamondback who overcame her fear in time to grab the
projectiles in midair. She used one of them to stab Ferocia, which
freed up Asp to blast the Iron Maiden.
(Captain America
I#392 - BTS) - Ice Princess was defeated as well. To make sure they
could leave Femizonia undetected, Paladin, Asp and Diamondback put on
the full body costumes of Ice Princess, Iron Maiden and Whiteout and
snuck away.
(Fear Itself: The
Home Front I#1) - With most of the New York City police tied up at a
riot in Lower Manhattan, Ice Princess and Wrangler teamed up to go on
a crime spree uptown. They were opposed by Speedball and Avengers
recruits Hazmat and Mettle. Hazmat used her powers to negate Ice
Princess' cold projection, leaving her wide open for Speedball to
knock her out. After Mettle disarmed Wranger, both women were
transported to a temporary holding cell in the Infinite Avengers
Mansion pending their transfer to the Raft.
Comments: Created by Mark Gruenwald, Rik Levins, Danny Bulanadi.
Ah, always a princess, never a queen. Let it go, let it go... Blessedly little has been revealed about her origins, even the full range of her powers remains a mystery. Her cold generation might be technological in nature, she could be a mutant, a mutate or mystically empowered. It doesn't help that in over 30 years, Ice Princess has only had two lines of dialogue: "What have we here?" and what should really be her catchphrase: "Experience winter".Profile by Norvo.
