X-MEN: The AoA Iceman

[starwolf_oakley]

We've been discussing how "all new, all different" Iceman is going to be, and if Iceman is going to be similar to the Age of Apocalypse Iceman. But how powerful was the AoA Iceman, and was he *anything* like "our" Bobby Drake?
Well, no. As I've said, he's more like sentient ice. I don't even think he resumes human form at all during AOA.

As in this reality, Apocalypse has conquered most of North America and murdered millions of people, Bobby Drake isn't exactly the X-Men's resident "goofball accountant."

I like the idea

I remember when Bobby got shot and spent a while in ice form, but he was always in the same shape. Here he's actually sentient ice rather than a human made of ice. I really like the idea. It's like Sandman (Spider-Man) but Bobby can drain thermodynamic energy.

Here's something I've always wondered. Since Bobby cools by moving thermodynamic energy, and thermodynamic energy is merely the manifestation of molecular, atomic and subatomic particle movement, does that mean that Bobby can drain kinetic energy? If Gambit can charge items with kinetic energy why can't Bobby do the opposite?

Imagine these scenarios:
Bobby drains the kinetic energy from a bullet stopping it in mid-air.
He could stop all movement (time effectively) and walk through a frozen fight, handcuffing the enemy. Heck he could replicate super speed by slowing everyone else down, or slowing the target down while everyone else stayed at the same speed. That's way better than Quicksilver.
