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."

Was the moisture/molecular inversion thing only ever mentioned in the one scene posted above, or did it show up elsewhere?

It's mentioned (and done) a couple of times in AoA, but it's never even been hinted at as a power for mainstream Bobby that I'm aware of.

What is it? Turning into vapor to travel to another location?

Pretty much, but with the added tweak that he can do the same to other people (and their clothing) and reconstitute them perfectly at the other end.
