The Official Iceman/Shawn Ashmore X3 Thread

[Torchd]

This is where you can come to discuss all topics related to Iceman in X3.

[spidey207]

Yes.

[Torchd]

Yes?

[spidey207]

Yes?

I am glad there is a Thread specially made for my second fav X-man, Iceman.

[Torchd]

Oh thats what I thought I was just afraid that there wasn't a ! so I was just wondering. BTW Who is your first?

[spidey207]

Wolverine has always been first, followed by Iceman,Angel,and Beast.
How about you?

[Torchd]

I don't know my Favorites are all of them. And at different times I like different ones better but Iceman was the one that got me started on comics. But Iceman I think has always been on top. But I like flying and people that fly alot. So I was on wikpedia today reading about iceman. They say he has yet to fully manifest his full power. So I thought it would be awesome if he could fly that would be the ultimate cool. And I figured it out. If he attempted to propel moisture in the ground directly below him he would in turn repel himself in to the air. If he continued to repeat this process he could maintain a particular altitude. I know I sound crazy but what do you think?

that'd be cool to see.

[Mister Sinister]

I should have set up this thread. :( I guess I have to cope with the Beast and Sentinel threads. :)

[Torchd]

There is a beast thread? BTW I have also so made a iceman thread in the x men comics section.

[snwboarder88]

i hope that iceman will finally "ice up" and i also want him to be more funny like his comics version instead of serious and uptight.

[Torchd]

Yeah I want to see him ice-up.

[Torchd]

What do you think about my way for him to fly?

[Torchd]

bump

[X-Maniac]

What do you think about my way for him to fly?


We're having a hard enough time getting Storm off the ground! I've no knowledge of Iceman flying, so best keep that to your personal fantasies. He could rise on a column of ice, or maybe slide on one if it was strong enough, but no flying for Iceman. It just sounds silly.

[Ratcrawler]

No offense(ce?) to Icefans, but I kinda hope he gets the Axe in X3 instead of Cyclops if someone's gotta go. :(

Though definitely not before he Ices up and goes nut with his powers. I just hope they handle the ice ramps and bridges realistically. I'd have a bit of a problem buying it if he just ascended on a column up from the ground. His powers should be like a rollercoaster, following the laws of inertia, momentum and friction. Yeah, I wanna see loops and twists and turns and sudden dives but if a ramp goes on for too long, he's gotta put some support columns on it or else it'll crash and fall to the ground. And it SHOULD break and fall to the ground at least once or twice, particularly during a learning session. He should also slip and slide off of one, creating another while he's falling to land on. A bit like that time sPider-Man chased the criminal down on his webs for the first time. A visual sPectacle of a learning experience.

The beauty is that if Iceman ices up to do this, it'll be more believeable seeing a CG character on a CG obstacle course of sorts than a CG flesh and blood Bobby.

Oh. And none of that evaporating Ice crap from the Incredibles. It'd be nice to see Xavier to congratulate Bobby on the use of his new powers only to follow it up with, "Now whose going to clean up all this broken ice and pay for the property damage?"

[GNR]

I really hated how they ripped off Iceman in the Incredibles with the use of those ice bridges.I can already hear Ebert now reviewing X3 saying how Iceman is the same thing as the guy from the Incredibles.Stupid critics...

[newwaveboy87]

no, stupid Ebert. he also said Sue Storm had similar powers to Storm...yeah...right...

[-Æ-]

here's to hoping he's more

http://arc.0daymeme.com/2Q/mvc2icemangif.2QOlKp416Ozle_W3XP-2jK.full.gif




Yeah, im hoping he looks more like that also!

One of my hopes for this movie is to see this happen. That would be so cool..

[Mister Sinister]

no, stupid Ebert. he also said Sue Storm had similar powers to Storm...yeah...right...
Did he SEE either movie?

[TNC9852002]

He was probably thrown off by some of the electrical currents that came from Sue's forcefield... :rolleyes: It was still one of the several bad analogies made by Ebert..

-TNC

[Retroman]

The trailer for for Ashmore's upcoming tv movie TERRY is now online. This is the last movie he shot before he started X-Men 3.

http://www.ctv.ca/servlet/ArticleNews/show/CTVShows/20050812_ctv_release_20050816#

[duo_gabo]

I thought it was underclassman...

[ljr]

That was shot ages ago.

[Niceguy4186]

I really don't want to see him fully ice up because i just don't think it would look good on screen. Maybe show just his hand iced over or something like that. I could imagine Bobby fooling around with Collosses by making a snowball and throwing it at him. Collosses tries to show off for kitty and metels up. Bobby then, not to be outdone, forms a big iceball on his hand to chuck at collosses. After he throws it, someone point out that his hand is white. Or something along those lines.

[X-Maniac]

I have no problem with a sort of 'icing over' like severe frostbite rather than him being encased in solid ice. A sort of blue-white frosted covering would be fine if he uses his powers in an extreme way, but no to the original snow-covered comics Iceman, and a total ice body would not be right either!

[Octoberist]

I thought it was underclassman...

haha..there's no hype for that movie. I dont' know why.

I haven't seen one poster and I've seen one trailer on the tube.

I agree entirely. I think what you stated here would be the best option(s) for creating a movie version of the "iced up" thing.

[Octoberist]

I wonder why Kirby and Lee opted for the SNOW covered look for guy named ICEMAN?

[Underoath]

edit

[snwboarder88]

hopefully bobby will be able to ice up, what would be really cool is to see him glid on some ice that he would make...Or seeing him snowboard or something like going off a big cliff and then using his ice powers to grind down to the ground...wouldnt serve the story much but it would be a cool thing to add into the film.

great pics, wish there were pics like available for every character

[Valorman]

i kindof find it weird that hes wearing that uniform..seeing as its not his uniform

[JustABill]

Well, he did get a uniform at the end, Valor. Remember he was standing with the X-Men in the White House, both him and Rogue got one.

[the a1ant]

I like the photos. I wish he did that in the film :( He also seems more like comic Bobby in those photos.

(Ashmore's wearing a spare James Marsden (Cyclops) uniform, because they decided at the last minute they wanted Bobby in a uniform for the end of the film. That's why it isn't as form-fitting as the rest of the X-Men. They photoshoped all final promo images to give Bobby white X's on his collar and chest :p Rogue's uniform had always been planned though.)

Does this debunk that "Extra" report regurding that scene with Ellen, Shawn, and Anna...and Gambit with the trenchcoat and bandana? (Not to be confused with the other report from Xverse)

They "extra" said that Shawn gain some weight and his hair was shorter. While yeah, his hair here is shorter (and he probably just woke up), it's not as short like what the Extra said (unless Shawn had a different hair style WHERE it looked shorter than this). Plus, Shawn here, looks about the same; I don't see a noticable weight gain at all. Hmmm.

And here's something i found posted on the messageboards at hollywoodnorthreport.com. Here's hoping i'm "pulling a retroman" here :p :

Heard from class today, that X3 will be involved in a photo shoot with my fashion photography instructor, Wayne Hoerchel. He's gots an edgy and distinctive style to his photography, he really should belong in NYC. I'm interested in the type of shots he's going to produce.

Hmmm...can anyone say publicity shots a la Nightcrawler "with his Calvin Kleins sticking out."

OOOOh! Photoshoot!

OHHHHHHHHHH.

[BluShaypeShyfte]

[GNR]

Does this mean they are arriving for the first time and have never been on set yet?If so,that means that "scooper" who saw a guy dressed as Gambit was lying,darn.

[JP]

There arriving in Vancuver. They already shot mansion scene, but I think its still obviouse that the Gambit thing was bogus.

True but he could have gone w/ the rest of the team at Alkali Lake and just been more invloved. My opinion is obviously bias but I still think they could have had him showcase his powers a little more. Maybe instead of backing down to the cops but probobly not. Anyway, can't wait to see him kick some a$$ in X3.

They also needed a more obvious contrast between him and Pyro...It made for more of an impact by the time we see Pyro join Magneto near the end..

[spidey207]

^^^ I know, your right but I am still a little bitter that pretty much the only ice we saw was him shielding Wolverine and putting out that kid who was on fire.

[TNC9852002]

He also frosted up Wolverine's hand, chilled his glass of soda, and froze his mother's tea...Little things like that added up for me..

These X-Men movies need to be a bit more than how much of an intensity a character's powers should be displayed in 2 hours...You don't want the audience to lose too much focus...There are alot of characters to balance..

-TNC

[spidey207]

So, lets see, an ice rose for Rogue.........now an ice fountain for Kitty............what's next? A romantic evening ice-skating on the basketball court with Jubilee?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but HNR only reports for Vancouver. They said that Ashmore was just now arriving. Do they report for Victoria B.C. as well? I guess I'm saying its still possible that Iceman was in some earlier mansion scenes that they've already shot. He is a student after all. You'd think he would've been around. I would think the same for Kitty Pryde too.

I have to ask though - does anyone think that those clothes are emblematic of their respective personalities and nature, that makes them stand out....?

Iceman, perhaps; the blue jumper and the ring on his finger, but all I can see on Kitty is that little necklace on her.

Wonder what they're looking at. Looks like they just came out of class, or just in school. I like that; I'd wanted to see more of the 'school' scenes - there were little of that in X2.

I felt it was a little of a missed opportunity also when he was surrounded by snow at the end and instead just sat around in the jet...! ;)

Not that he'd manifest his powers that might save the Xmen or make things more convenient or anything, but that he comment on the environment that is obviously his own. He doesn't need to, in fact, wear warm clothes...!

[Electrix]

The picture was taken outside the hotel the two actors were staying at.

[Retroman]

Ashmore's new 'indy' films 3 Needles (Stockard Channing, Lucy Liu, Chloe Sevigny) and The Quiet (Elisha Cuthbert) are been screened at the Toronto Film Festival (September 8-17). It's quite possible that he might appear there to promote those films. Maybe he'll drop some soundbites on X3. Aaron Stanford might also be there to promote Runaway.

Cool.

[MoPlaYa43]

if Iceman can make that big ice wall in X-2, then i see no reason why he should have his ice tracks and ice form in X-3

[BluShaypeShyfte]

I think that since turning your body into complete ice, would not fit in the movie (because ice doesnt bend) Bobby should make a layer of ice on his skin and everytime he moves, new ice forms, giving us the impression that he is moving with ice on him. We should hear the icee crack as he moves.

[Retroman]

Interesting addition to X3's crew. Clint Clareton has been chosen as Ashmore's stunt double http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1561424/

I think this means more action for Iceman.

[spidey207]

^^^We can only hope.

Unless they're using a stunt double for more making "freezing soda bottle" scenes :p

Iceman fans should be optimistic,cause I have a feeling under ratner-we're going to see bobby act alot more like his comic self.I mean he will be older and will have changed a little after the events of x2,he along with rogue,cykes etc will seem more like themselves.

[cookiva]

Hey, I just got a new idea bout Bobby for X3.

What if Pyro joining the Brotherhood makes him change closer towards his comic counterpart? Think about it. His best friend, the guy who knows everything about him and vice versa, becomes evil, joining your arch enemy. Maybe it will be something small, like him snapping back at Cyke about not taking orders, or something like that.

Any validity to my thinking?

[N_z0]

Iceman is not someone i would call rebellious in the comics though :confused:

[TNC9852002]

Iceman seemed to be a very good kid, yet he enjoyed playing around with Pyro in X1 and Wolverine in X2...Maybe with Pyro not being around to spark the contrast, he will naturally develop into being a playful, yet mature individual...Ya know...to satisfy the Iceman fans, if any.. :D

It looks like he's going to get more action. I just hope the film makers saw how cool it was to have Johnny "flame on" in FF, and they translate that to Bobby as Ice-man. I wanna see ice sleds and the works with him.

[terry78]

They may not go the ice sled route, but maybe he'll turn his whole body into ice during the battle, as a reflex or something. That would be cool.

I don't know my Favorites are all of them. And at different times I like different ones better but Iceman was the one that got me started on comics. But Iceman I think has always been on top. But I like flying and people that fly alot. So I was on wikpedia today reading about iceman. They say he has yet to fully manifest his full power. So I thought it would be awesome if he could fly that would be the ultimate cool. And I figured it out. If he attempted to propel moisture in the ground directly below him he would in turn repel himself in to the air. If he continued to repeat this process he could maintain a particular altitude. I know I sound crazy but what do you think?
in the series xmen 2024(i might be wrong on the name)..he does not have his inhibitor belt on....he has fully manifested his powers..and he is entirley FROST..he FLIES around as a cloud of frost.... and he can sturn solid at will.....your take on flight is good..but i find that more intriguing...and i love ice because of his...egocentric and rogue(if you will) nature..remember he was an OG xman and left..cause he wanted to do his own thing.... and the whole inhibitor belt is just JEDI....its cool that he learned to harness his full potential.... :up:

[jusblaze21]

i wanna see ice-man kick some a** in this movie

[cookiva]

Ive started to think that if ( and thats a big friggen IF) Cyke dies in this, Iceman might be groomed to be a future team leader.

[peteapan]

i pray iceman dont use this pathetic fire extinguisher style ice power as seen in x2 and the teaser throughout the film. in the comics he creates tidal waves of ice and huge barriers stopping even the juggernaut. If he is gonna take on pyro lets hope that pyro gets inventive with some fire creations, and iceman ices up and fufils his potential

[darkbear]

my version of bobby iced up

http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b101/darkbearsky/glace-2copy.jpg

[Halcohol]

Hey that's actually really good

[peteapan]

I think they may use something resembling his ice slides at some point, prob him creating a bridge to walk across or something lame, but with colossus armouring up already i doubt they will ice him up, cool pic though

[Orion]

what this movie needs is a $250 million dollar budger and a runtime of 2hrs & 35 minutes.

Iceman has got to power up. I would love even just a few seconds, say his body does it by instinct to protect him from Pyro's flame assault. That's the icing on the Xcake right there !

[soramickey]

Maybe he will have the same moves as he will have in the upcoming x-men 3 game. (Ice slide)

[TNC9852002]

Ugh,...I still hate the idea of Iceman being somehow impervious to exteme heat if a centimeter of ice is protecting his body...It doesn't make sense to me...It's another reason why I've been against the icing up for the movies..

Icing up CAN be done, but it needs to be done intelligently and not thrown in just any way just for eye candy...

Ummm...If there's a fire, I'm pretty sure that he would use the appropriate level of cold to extinguish the flames..He did that in X2...If he did something like what you're saying, he would've ended up freezing that poor boy solid...

As seen in X2 as well, he can quickly create solid shapes of ice (the ice wall) and even quick frosts of cold (Wolvie's hand and coke bottle)...

I don't think his power display will be any different in X3...

I agree with the $250 million dollar budget!:cool:
However, I would definatly increase the time to at least 3 hours or more!!:up:
I agree with peteapan
I had better see a d@mn ice slide or something better than what he has done for the first two movies:ghost: !

I hope he does like their talking about in the game, in the movie. btw i like both of his costumes but i cant decide which one i like better??????

[darkbear]

well iceman's power entails that he can create an absolute zero enviroment surrounding him and heat is not a factor when its absolute zero

It should be done, regardless. Iceman has always had the power to ice up and to leave it out of this next film would be criminal to the character the comics have created. So important to the character is this ability i consider it the same as only givin wolvy claws and no healin factor, or colossus super strength with no armour. Its part of his fighting style and it should be included in this film regardless

[peteapan]

P.S I loved Icemans X2 costumed with the frost effect of the X coming down on the shoulders, they should have tried to make each costume a bit original to each character, like wolvy with his side stripes, cyclops should have had a utility belt across his chest and iceman keep his cool X's!

[newwaveboy87]

if Cyclops had a utility belt across his chest that'd look so insanely stupid.
and the costumes ARE already individualized for each character. different color piping, different patterns in it, differently cut outfits.

Kinda wished they kept those icicle like X's at his shoulders like that were on the X2 advertisements.

[Storm22]

I'm glad they changed his costume. He stood out too much with those icicles, he's only a young + new member of the X-Men therefore should get a uniform similar to everyone elses unifrom. I like the way they use different colour threads in the X-Men uniforms for each character, looks like Iceman's is icey blue - nice!

[9livesKitty]

he's been doing a pretty good job up till now, despite enough kinks to have fans a little annoyed but i'm sure with more action he'll heat :o things up for himself (especially with this love triangle of his)

Ice can only become so dense, yet he's usually drawn in the comics as if his external body becomes all ice...I doubt that any ice that thin could even STOP a bullet within 10 yards...You're talking deflecting bullets, which would take an even higher amount of resistance and density..I dunno about that..Hmmmm

-TNC

[lordofthenerds]

I doubt that Iceman will "ice up" in the movie, but I do think he will use his ice slide. He's going to ice slide in the X3 game.

[X-Gal123]

Dunno. He might not fully ice-up but he is rumored to to make ice-skates out of ice. If he can do that there is hope for a fully iced over Iceman

[Slim_X]

I don't care if he ices up. But I really wanna see him use the ice slide. e

[X-Gal123]

Well then you'll be happy to know that he will use his ice slide to escape the cheaters patrol that comes after him after he kisses Kitty. LOL

[X-Gal123]

Hey everyone random thought here. Iceman is supposedly moving on to Kitty because he can't touch Rogue's skin. Well what if he got Leech to temporarily control her powers. When Leech used his powers in Evolution Cyke could open his eyes without the optic blasts so if Leech used his powers on Rogue supposedly she could have skin contact.
Okay my randomness is over.

[ComicChick]

i just stumbled into this thread. Iceman is one of my fave characters and I too want to see the ice slide.

I'm iffy on the icing up thing, only because if it's not done good and believable, then don't do it.

if he looks like the manips i've seen in this thread, then that'll be good. but not some cheesy cheap special effects job.

or they could be cheap and paint him light blue (a la mystique and nightcrawler, though they're dark blue). lol if they did that, i would never see another marvel movie.

[Ashlocke]

Well, only if Leech is into voyeurism and Bobby and Rogue like putting on a show.

Can't they put him in the next room or something??? Does his power require him to be in the same room?:O

[ljr]

Yeah but that is still disturbing.'leech do you mind staying in the room next door for like a hour so we can get it on',that is something a little boy shouldn't be doing or hearing if they were especially loud.lol

It could be worse. It could be super strong Rogue and we could be discussing how easy it would be for her to accidentally crush Bobby's... I'm done now.

[Iceman]

Yeah Bobby should be careful - Rogue's invulnerable so she could probably take the pain - If she get's excited he's the one in trouble.
I'd advise him not to ice up!!

[Quing]

Unless she asks him to.

[ProfeZZor X]

You kiddies are driving me CRAZY with all these speculations on what Iceman's powers are. Well, to start off, he has been classed as an OMEGA mutant. Which basically means that he has the ability to do some serious damage on a global scale. He's known to be one of the most powerful mutants on the planet next to Dark Phoenix. I know this because I've followed this character for years. No, I'm not that old, but I have gone back and bought past X-Men issues just to read up on his progression.

And for those that don't understand his capabilities (in the comic world), I will give you a run down of what he is actually capable of doing:

THE HERO IN HIM
1) Convert part of, or his entire body into ice (including internal organs)
2) Freeze all forms of moisture, including bodily fluids, or oils
3) Add mass to his form for defensive purposes
4) Detect thermal signals in any object, or being (like infra red vision)
5) Evaporate & teleport himself through any body of water faster than
the speed of sound
6) Transport himself and others using a molecular inversion process
(liquifying himself and others and travel as a mist cloud)
7) Create animated clones of himself by rapidly freezing and unfreezing
ice
8) Cryogenically freeze a person to slow down any life threatening illness
9) Disperse his body into any cold environment and live as an essence
(live without a body indefinitely)
10) Can bring moisture to the driest environment on the planet.

THE EVIL IN HIM
1) Can freeze every molecule of water in your body
2) Can extract every molecule of water from your body
3) Can freeze the blood of telepaths to prevent mental attacks
4) Can reform himself after being shattered into many pieces
(even survive long periods of time as just a head of ice)
5) Can create extra limbs or restructure his body out of ice
6) Can freeze areas the size of Tokyo with ease
7) Can create all forms of wet or freezing storms
8) Can create ice tidal waves or avalanches
9) Can absorb large bodies of water to become an immense giant
10) Can create any blunt object or weapon out of ice
11) Can lower the temperature in any environment within seconds

I'm sure there are over a dozen more abilities that I forgot, but those are some of his powers that come to mind. Iceman has undergone many transformations in the comics, but one thing that has kept him from achieving even greater feats, is his light-heartedness, and lack of desire to push himself further. Many allies and villains have hinted at the unlimited posibilities he's capable of, but at this time in his life, he is comfortable with the way he is. If you want to learn more about him or other X-Men characters, go to www.uncannyxmen.net (http://www.uncannyxmen.net) and look under the "Cerebro files" on the left hand side.

As for his role in the movie, seeing him in his ice form is the most important thing to me. I was highly disappointed not to see this in the first couple of films, and knowing that he has so much potential, it makes me anxious with anticipation to see what happens in the danger room and in battle with Pyro. I will say this though, if they create an ice version of him, it should look like that naked ice-chick in the beginning credits of the James bond flick "Die Another Day". And Magma should look like the other naked lava girl in that movie too.

:marv:

[X-Gal123]

Holy guacamole(a line from one of my school's old plays) that is a lot of writing and I agree that there are too many speculation's on his powers(even though I speculate a lot too). So thanks Profezzor X.:up:

[user123456789]

there are different 'classes' of mutants? wats omega? wats the other ones?

[X-Gal123]

There two main classes of mutants I beleive. One is Omega that is classification that they can destroy the world by themselves or have enough potential to do so. This class includes Gambit and Phoenix along with Iceman. Alpha is another class and those mutants are at the limit of their powers. This class includes Proffessor X.

how is prof x weaker than gambit??

what are gambits powers other than being able to charge items up?

[peteapan]

He isnt more powerful, but has the potential to be, with secondary mutations etc. Where as Gambit can develop and the limits of his power are unknown Prof X has reached that limit and will not grow any stronger.

[ProfeZZor X]

Omega mutants have the single-handed potential to be global killers, whereas Alpha mutants can do some serious damage to the general populace. Iceman is the first of these two. Although he hasn't the desire or drive to achieve any more than what he's done or what is necessary.

I think he would have been one of the most powerful horsemen out there. After all, the current storyline in the X-Men comic book (What Lorna Saw), indicates that he has good reason to be pissed off at the X-Men and take Apocalypse's side.

[Underoath]

When are we gona get a new iceman pic?

[Advanced Dark]

I just picked up the most recent Wizard magazine and there's been speculation on the board here on whether or not he'll "Ice Up" or not. If this is already posted somewhere in the forums then merge this...though I didn't see it. However in the issue it said Bobby will be "Ice Up" and be covered by an Icy shell in at least one scene.

Exactly. While you might be basing your perception of his looks in your head, you know that in the back of your mind, its influenced by fan art. No one can make Iceman look perfect in a fan art pic. Its the same with Colossus. He just looks weird, but look at him in X2...amazing...perfect even.

But thats just me...

[Feyd Rautha]

How reliable are Wizard? Aren't they the same mag that confirmed Gambit was in X3 2 or 3 times? (which is obviously false)

I think we'll see an Iceman/Pyro fight for sure, it's been building up since their cameos in X1. I'll say we'll see an ice-slide as well, I think the video game almost confirms that.

Not too sure about the ice-body...I suppose if they do a good job with it...it'll work. I think the 90's ice-spikes (from the comics) may look a little too overdone and campy on screen.

[SingItWithMeNow]

[Super Flight]

I'd love to see him iced up that'll look very cool, maybe he'd do it becasue he is trying to show off to rouge when collusse is hitting on her with his metal on, you think lol, yea kinda dumb thought.

(Btw where you getting all these new smile faces??)

[November Rain]

the thing is what will he be wearing when he does it?

some shorts?

his leather costume?

will his leather costume also ice up or have an effect or is he likely just to be an icy head?

and how will he sound when he moves, like constant ice breaking or maybe not at all?

If they don't take into consideration all the little effects i'd rather not having iceing up at all.

if he's going to do it, he's gotta be in shorts totally icy and play the part right...

otherwise it'lll be like wolverine having claws made of titanium instead of adamantium, it just wouldn't be right.

[_BB_]

As much as id like to see iceman iced up, id only want to see it that if it serves the story, not just icing up for the hell of it. I was thinking about it the other day and if theres going to be a scene where he does it, it should be during "pyro's big superkinetic epic scene" that Kinberg was talking about over on the X-Verse which will probably be the iceman/pyro fight

[Phoenix342]

I'm not to optomistic about this, i really really hope it looks good or i will be really disapointed and mad that they did it. but i do like the idea about it happening during a fight with pyro instead of just doing it for no reason.

[Avalanche]

I personally don't want him to ice up. It doesn't fit with movie Iceman so far as I'm concerned.

[Phoenix342]

[ljr]

It could be true,cause I brought an malaysian comic from ebay that had an article and pics from x3.And a couple of the pics where the taken by tourists at the hatley castle shoot-one was the frozen fountain and the other looked like a either a frozen statue from behind or a frozen shell.wish I could post it but my scanner is out,anyway the quality of the pic is terrible.

[-Æ-]

An Icy shell ya say....interesting

[ljr]

That's what it looked like,but like I said it was pitifully small and grainy-but if it wasn't that I really don't knowe why they would have included it.

[Kaboom]

just to be clear...when we say iced up we dont mean the lame frosty thesnowman like in the first issues, we're talking about transparent pure ice see through version right?

and if he rides thatslide....wow.....one happy fanboy right here

[-Æ-]

Frosty version would be cool, that would please alot of old school comic readers.

[_BB_]

^ see thats the thing, i know that these people have the most cutting edge technology but getting this effect right is going to be tough. If he is, as kaboom says, transparent pure ice then its going to look like bobby is invisible because we will just see a moving outline like with sue storm in F4.

I think that the most we will get to see is bobbys skin turn blue like in X2 when he shakes logans hand

[Sparta*]

Excellent :up: :up: :up:

I'm looking forward to seeing Iceman

[Lord Melo]

I think he should only ice-up if he has the same voice as in Spiderman & Friends.

I'd love to see him ice up if the battle gives him a reason to, and of course they make him look good and believeable.

seriously, how much would you you geek out if he freezes himself into a block of ice and then busts out in his all-iced glory.............

It might be true because when they asked Kinberg on whether or not Bobby would, he said that they wanted to push his powers to the limit..

So,...I think they're going to try it...I can only think of a few ways that they can do it though... :( It won't exactly be what everyone's expecting if they do it the way that I think they will...

Most likely, they'll try it for this highly speculated Iceman/Pyro fight, in which Kinberg hinted at on Xverse..

You know what would look the best? Iceman with the spikey ice shards coming out of his body. While the smoothness of regular Iceman is cool, the shards just look...sweet...

I completely agree, but with reality steadily sinking in, spikey shards will more than likely will NOT happen. From a marketing and cost point of view, Fox and Marvel probably wouldn't want him to look too menacing to the kiddies. Plus, the amount of money it took for them just to create that short part of Colossus in X2 was pretty steep. So I say spikes are out.

Although... the ice woman in the title sequence of 007's: Die Another Day was pretty convincing, and showed that a person made of transparent ice is possible. The 2 disc DVD set has a short on the making of her and the lava woman too. It went on to show the different layers of cool air resonating from her body, to the cracking of her limbs when she moved, to the water melting off her skin. Both were great effects and not as expensive, but I guess Fox and Marvel have other priorities, than to dream up ways to appease the masses of fans.... Also check out that 007 DVD if you guys get a chance. You won't be disappointed.
