Oh... sorry! Was that cold? Just be glad it wasn't Wolverine giving you the wake-up call!
CHARACTER NAME/ALIAS: Bobby Drake aka, Iceman FACECLAIM: Ronen Rubinstein AFFILIATIONS: Nomads/X-Men AGE (physical age as well, if different): 35 SPECIES (human, metahuman, alien, etc): Mutant IS YOUR CHARACTERâS IDENTITY SECRET OR PUBLIC? Public DOES YOUR CHARACTER LIVE IN THE MOUSEHOLE? IF SO, WHAT ARE THEIR DUTIES? Combat trainer and mission team leader for those in colder climates. DESCRIBE SIX TRAITS (3 positive, 3 negative) YOUR CHARACTER HAS AND HOW THESE AFFECT THEM:
Transparent. You would think someone who has powers like him would come across cold right? No, Bobby is very honest and open, he leads with his emotions which can some times also be his downfall but Bobby canât help it, he has a big heart.
Brave. Bobby is very brave and is often seen standing up for the little person. Because heâs so willing to go wandering into dangerous situations without thought, it can put him in danger some times, but thatâs okay, he always finds some way to get out of said danger even though the x-men team has had to pull him out of them plenty of times over the years. He doesnât back down.P
Protective. He adores his family, Jean and Scott are like brother and sister to him, Hank is one of his best friends and he may have a small crush on Warren but doesnât talk about that. Since he joined the X-Men next to Scott, itâs been a big learning curve due to how he was treated by his peers when his mutation manifested. Heâd do anything for his friends even if it means he puts himself in direct line of the danger instead.

WHAT BROUGHT YOUR CHARACTER TO SOKOVIA?
Bobby joined the X-Men in Genosha but as they began to establish the miro-nation, it became clear that there was no need for his skills set even as an accountant, so he said his goodbyes early on and left without a fuss from Xavier (which frankly, hurt, not that heâd ever admit that out loud). So, he turned his attention to the nomads and has been with them ever since. Heâs the one that heads up missions in colder areas as he can withstand them and he keeps everyone in tip top shape by being a trainer around the mousehole. With the addition of the Danger Room thatâs coming, he can set up some situations through that eventually.
DID THEY SIGN THE ACCORDS? WHY OR WHY NOT?
No, he didnât sign the Accords, he was already half way to Genosha at the time. Plus, heâs a mutant and is tired of constantly being opposed for who he is. He believes if any mutant signed it, then they must be out of their minds.
PROVIDE 3-5 HEADCANONS RELATED TO YOUR CHARACTER:
Bobby has had a string of girlfriends over the years because he was deep in denial about being gay, why add this on top of being a mutant too. His world already hated him for one thing, why add another. But slowly over the years, Bobby has come to accept his sexuality and has been out for a few years even though heâs still a bit afraid.
Heâs a bit of a prankster and will often lower temperatures in rooms because he finds peopleâs reactions funny. He should be grown up by now, but it keeps him amused.
WANTED CHARACTER CONNECTIONS:
The O5: Jean Gray, Scott Summers, Warren Worthington III and Hank McCoy, these four are his best friends. They grew up together, fought together through thick and thin, Bobby will do anything for them.
Lorna Dane: Despite having dated her in the past, they are now good friends.
Johnny Storm: Literally the best person for Bobby to team up with. They are good friends with similar goals and sense of humour. It wasnât always like this though and they often butted heads.
POTENTIAL CHARACTER ARCS:
The only thing I have in mind at the moment is him unlocking his secondary mutation which is where he can shift his entire body into ice. Heâs going to be stuck like this for a while until he learns how to control it. Get your mops ready, Mousehole.
Bobby has always been a follower, even as an X-Man but him leading up teams here is a big change for him which heâs fully taken on board. Iâd like to see him make some hard decisions regarding this.
CHARACTER BIO â
Born to William and Madeline Drake in Floral Park, Bobbyâs mutation manifested early on when he couldnât stop shivering and feeling cold all the time despite his parents taking him to doctors, none of them could figure out why he was feeling cold all the time. It was only when Bobby was forced to protect himself (and his then-girlfriend) when his powers were revealed by encasing the school bully in ice. That was a rough time because the town then organised a mob to go after him, believing that he was dangerous. It wasnât for Scott Summers, then Bobby wouldâve been dead there and then. Thatâs when he left his home behind and started on this weird adventure as one of the original X-Men.
Over the years, Bobby learned how to control his powers and was even given the name of Iceman eventually. What Bobby wasnât aware of at the time, but is now, that they were all child soldiers and that is something that doesnât sit right with him any more so his relationship with Xavier is strained. He took him in and gave him a home when he had to leave his own, heâll always be grateful for that, but doesnât mean that he likes it.
Bobby was never going to agree to sign anything like the Accords, so quickly turned down the chance to and turned his attention on following the others to Genosha to help establish the mirco nation alongside his peers. He managed to stick around for a grand total of six weeks before he started to feel redundant. Every single one of his friends had an important position within this nation so Bobby left and hasnât looked back on Genosha since, even letting Charles go to voice mail every time he calls.
He has been in Sokovia ever since, helping them get on their feet and established combat training for those heroes who are feeling a little rusty. Recently, heâs been off on missions up in Siberia as heâs the one thatâs chosen to head up teams in colder climates. Now heâs back in the Mousehole for the time being and heâs wondering what the hell heâs missed.
