Bobby's original snowy form


History:

Robert Louis "Bobby" Drake was born in Long Island, New York. When he reached puberty his mutant powers first began manifesting, he was constantly cold and trembling, until he managed to keep it under control. Once when he was on a date, the town bully pushed him away and tried to make a move on Bobby's date, he became enraged and encased him in a block of ice. His date, instead of being grateful, was more scared of the fact that he was a mutant and ran away in fear.

The people of the town soon heard of the incident and went to Bobby's house, where they started to beat him, the sheriff stopped the mob and imprisoned Bobby. Later Cyclops broke into Bobby's cell and offered him a spot in the newly formed team of young mutants, he refused and began a fight with Scott, the mob returned, and began attacking both of the young mutants. Professor X stopped the mob using his mental abilities, and offered the spot once more to Bobby, who this time said yes. Bobby became Iceman, the second member of the newly formed X-Men.

As a part of the original X-Men, he was the "class clown" often making jokes; this and the fact that he was the youngest member, led for the rest to often under appreciate him. He soon developed a tight friendship with his fellow X-Men Hank McCoy and both began dating Zelda and Vera Cantor respectively; Zelda worked in Café-A-Go-Go, that was usually the place were the four spent their time, listening to Bernard The Poet. They always got in trouble with Zelda and Vera because they had to keep their identities secret to them and were always running from their dates to fight villains.

At first Bobby when turning to Iceman, he had an snow like exterior, but with the help of Cyclops he learned to increase the temperature and turn to the icy form we all know. As the original X-Men, Iceman, Beast, Angel, Cyclops and Marvel Girl they fought the likes of: Magneto, Vanisher, Blob, Unus, Juggernaut, The Sentinels, The Brotherhood, Locust, Grotesk, Lucifer, Mimic, The Living Monolith, Sauron and many more.

After he left the X-Men, Professor X got him a scholarship in UCLA. One day where he was chatting with his fellow former X-Man, Warren Worthington III (Angel), some harpies attacked the school claiming that they were looking for Venus. Both soon got into action and Warren revealed to him that he decided to keep his identity secret no more. Black Widow who was applying for a job there also got involved in the fight and began protecting Venus (who was in disguise), Ghost Rider and Hercules, who happened to just be around, began fighting the enemies who were looking for Venus as well. After she revealed his identity, Pluto appeared and said that he was the one behind it all, he managed to capture Hercules and Venus, so the rest of them managed to find a way to go to Olympus and rescue them. After that Venus decided to stay and Hercules went with the others, so The Champions of LA were formed.

After several fights with the Champions, Bobby began to think it was time for him to retire and focus on his future, also he was not feeling too comfortable with the life of a super hero. He then risked his life saving Darkstar (who had also joined the Champions) from an attack of the Stranger, she didn't seem to give him the proper thanks. Bobby found himself very attracted to Darkstar but his feelings were not returned. This triggers in him a certain anger, the fact that he had always been treated like a kid, by the X-Men, the Champions, and now even Darkstar, so he decided to make himself a new costume.

After an apparent return of the Sentinels, who were under the control of The Vanisher, the team soon disbanded, mostly because of the irregularity of the characters.

After some time he was attending sophomore classes in college and was finishing a paper when he was contacted by Professor X to assist some people who were kidnapped and kept in Murderworld. The X-Men were busy fighting Doctor Doom, and were unavailable. He joined Havok, Polaris and Banshee. It was here that Bobby realized that he still had feelings for Lorna, but accepted that the one she will ever only care for is Alex (Havok). He then decided to visit his old friend Hank McCoy AKA the Beast who was at that time associated with the Defenders, Hank wanted to make the Defenders a more stable group and soon convinced Bobby to join the team, shortly after Angel also joined the team. Bobby was once again trapped in a one way sentimental interest, this time with his teammate Cloud who suddenly turned into a male, Bobby couldn't stand being around Cloud when she was male, although he truly cared for her. Later it was revealed that she/he was actually an space being who took the form of a couple who died in a car accident, it apologized to Bobby for all the pain it caused to him.

Unfortunately a terrible accident happened, involving Moondragon, who was possessed and apparently killed most of the members, the remaining ones, obviously disbanded since continuing after that was impossible. Other events happened in Bobby's life, like continuing his career and having an adventure in the past that helped him in his relation with his parents.

Later Warren called Bobby and Hank, to join his new team. Jean Grey, who was believed dead until then, was actually alive. Her concern for mutantkind and the current state of the X-Men was what motivated the creation of X-Factor. Cyclops was also called to lead the group, and the original X-Men were once again reunited and formed the original X-Factor.

The original idea for the group was to pose as humans hunting mutants, but in secret, they helped them. Two teams were formed (both consisting of the five of them), the super powered X-Factor (the mutants helping mutants) and the X-Terminators (the "humans" hunting mutants).

After some big fights including the likes of Apocalypse, Bobby was captured by Loki to fight against Thor. His plan was to use Iceman's powers on the Frost Giants to fight Thor, for Bobby to reach the necessary power level he needed he was submitted to a machine that maximized his abilities to the point of no control. When he returned to the side of his teammates he couldn't control his ice powers, and Leech was always used to cancel them. Bobby began using an inhibitor belt to keep his powers at a controllable level.

Bobby met Opal Tanaka and soon began dating her, she was aware of his identity, so the relation evolved a little better than his previous ones. She was Japanese and was captured by the Yakusa clan and was forced to marry Hiro, Iceman followed her to Japan and challenged Hiro, he returned with Opal to the U.S.
