Created by writer Stan Lee and artist Jack Kirby, the character first appeared in The X-Men #1 (Sept. 1963). Iceman is a mutant with the ability to control ice and cold. He can create ice by freezing the water vapor around him, and can also cover or transform his own body into ice.

He is a powerful mutant who can manipulate temperature, reaching absolute zero, and possesses various other powers, including matter manipulation and molecular-level control.
