Biography
Childhood
Bobby, the eldest of two sons, lived a relatively normal life until his manifestation as a mutant. Keeping his powers from his family, he eventually was enrolled in Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters, telling his parents it was a prep school. His parents, being the types to accept everything as normal regardless, asked no more questions.
Living At The X-Mansion
Bobby spent eight years at the school as both student and graduate/teacher. He steadily gained control over his powers over time, but the events of X2 left his family situation a mess. Betrayed by his brother to the police, his parents frightened of him, Bobby took things very hard, becoming quiet and withdrawn. His relationship with Marie D'Ancato suffered as well, with the young couple breaking up only weeks after the invasion. This was partly spurred by Bobby's conflicting relationship with John Allerdyce, who admitted romantic feelings for the other boy that were not returned. John's defection to the Brotherhood of Mutants almost destroyed the friendship entirely, with things being slowly mended via IM over many months. Things derailed further when, after John's return, Bobby was replaced by the shapeshifter Mystique for several months, who did her level best to emotionally torture John, as well as disrupting the school in general.
The deception was discovered in November 2003, when, during a mission to rescue the son of a senator from the FOH, Bobby was found in a shed, having been physically and sexually abused. He was rescued and brought back to the school, but recovery was long in coming. He was helped by his friend (and later roommate) Angelo Espinosa, who protected the older boy as much as he was able. An unfortunately encounter with the empath Manuel de la Rocha in the kitchen set Bobby's recovery back and began a long-term enmity between Manuel and Angelo.
Over time Bobby began to rebuild his life. The departures of both Marie and John from the school gave him the chance to focus on the future, rather than the past, and he was able to reconcile - to a degree - with his family, although his brother Ronny would never be fully comfortable with him and would eventually become interested in the FOH. Given Bobby's experiences of the group, discovery of this was not taken well. The arrival of a new student with no memory of her past - Jane Doe - brought more change, but of a positive sort, as the two began tentatively dating. The relationship was strained by Bobby's frequent absences during this time, and eventually ended when Jane left the school to seek out her identity.
As a college student, Bobby remained at the school, teaching mathematics and training with the X-Men, and later joining Nathan Dayspring's NGO Elpis. He also began a rather tempestuous relationship with fellow long-term Xavier's resident, Theresa Cassidy. All this was nearly jeopardised when Bobby was seduced by Jane, Jean Grey| Jean Grey's]] alter ego, who sent video footage of the event to her husband and Bobby's team leader Scott Summers. Terry also found out, and the relationship only barely survived. Another blow came when Terry thought she was pregnant, with Bobby offering to marry her and getting it all wrong. Eventually, however, they reconciled and took a trip to Las Vegas, where they 'accidentally' got married. When word leaked out, reactions were mixed, given the young age of both of them, and the rather rocky history of their relationship.

Height: 6' 1"
Weight:
Eyes: Blue
Hair: Blonde-brown
Other Features: In 2006, Bobby discovered his 'ice form' during a training session - in this form, he appears to consist of solid ice.
Powers
An Omega-level mutant, Bobby is able to lower his body temperature without causing harm to himself, reaching minus 105°F within a few tenths of a second. He is able to freeze any moisture in the air around him into unusually hard ice to various projectiles and shields including walls, slides and statues. Iceman is immune to sub-zero temperatures. He is also able to transform his body into pure organic ice (similar to the organic steel of Colossus) in which his strength and endurance were augmented to greatly enhanced levels. Iceman is also able to reconstitute his ice-form if any part of it is damaged without harm to himself. He has very high level of control over ambient temperature as well as his own body temperature.
The outer limits of Bobby's power have not been explored, however he once used his powers to cool Haroun until a thin layer of ice for 2 hours straight before needing a break.
Bobby enjoys using his powers for the enjoyment of others, creating ice sculptures, making ice cream and playing in the snow with the kids.
