Well since my last post didn't show up for some reason......
Artic Cold a.k.a. AC
Real Name: Alexander Christopher Coldstone PhD
Appearance: 6 2 195lbs. Ice Blue hair/eyes
Occupation: Former Chemical Physicist/ Biologist
Battle Cry: Time to turn up the AC!
Background: Dr. AC Coldstone always had a thing for the extreme cold climates of the world. Raised by his father, a marine biologist with a penchant for studying the habits of animals surviving in extreme temperatures, Alexander knew he had two passions in his life that would dictate his future. One was his unyielding love for Science. Fascinated and awed by his fathers dedicated work, AC used his youth as a time not to play baseball and cause mischief, but rather to learn about the various effects of chemicals and the biology and anatomy of living things. The other, the raw beauty found in the arctic and antarctic locations of the world. The ice, the snow capped mountains, the amazing thriving of creatures surviving in temperature that would cripple or kill a normal man. All these things were burned into the psyche of Alexander. So much so, that he grew up in the image of his father, a scientist by his own right.
After completing his PhD, Dr. Coldstone quickly got himself a grant from an old friend of his fathers. Alexander made his way back to the arctic in an attempt to complete his lifes goal: to create a compound that would work with the human anatomy to allow them to survive extreme cold temperatures. No longer would people need to die of hypothermia, with his research he would allow for the exploration of the largest landmass on the planet as well as incorporating it into Marine research. People could live comfortably in cold temperatures; tons of power and oil would be saved since no one would ever need a heater again! Unfortunately his research took time too much time for some individuals. With a deadline on his grant money coming to a close, and not enough advances to justify an extension, Dr. Coldstone was desperate. Working in less than pristine laboratories and neglecting safety for speed, Alexander worked for days on end. At last on his final day of funding, Dr. Coldstone finally succeeded! Preliminary testing on lab animals and human tissue proved positive, so with one giant leap of fate, AC injected himself with his formula.
Unfortunately, the consequences were dire. Something terrible happened when the formula mixed with his blood. At first it seemed like it was a success! Stepping out into the cold or the Artic, he felt fine. His body temperature remained at a steady room temperature, and Dr. Coldstone was elated. But then everything turned worse. His body soon went through some changes, his hair and eyes turned ice blue and he found that he could alter the temperature around him, making the air around him colder simply by thinking it.
Realizing that his experiment was a failure, Dr. Coldstone left the Artic and headed to Paragon City. Bankrupt and without purpose, AC hopes he can take his new role as a superhero to gain the notoriety and money to continue his research; hopefully finding a cure for his condition one day, as well as reaching his goal of helping society with his dream.
