The Official Iceman/Shawn Ashmore X3 Thread

[ProfeZZor X]

ProfeZZor X your avy That's Iceman? what's that from?

It's Iceman, from the 1990's cartoon. Only, this is from the Japanese intro of the show. Something that never made it to the USA version of the cartoon. I used to work for the company that produced the show, so I knew what it was right away when someone here posted it..... So I grabbed it.

I actually thought that was a pretty good look for his powers in the movies... I mean sure it's supposed to be an adaptation of a comic book and they're supposed to have brilliant colours and everything, but I don't want to see his powers look like your av, Prof. X, nor do I want them to look like the game... there's absolutely no reason his ice-blasts should be glowing blue!

I agree that his powers shouldn't look like a light source, but it would be very cool to see the moisture from the air collect and condense into his ice creations. I just picture mist gathering into a central area near where his hand is projecting, and solidify into his slide, or whatever it is he creates. The icewall from X2 was a start, but I think the ice effects could look a little better. There are some scenes in the game trailer and screen shots from the game that show what I'm trying to describing.

I know exactly what you mean, I always thought the effects they used for Sub-Zero in the MK movie would look half-decent on Iceman... also that ice-wall he created in X2 should have appeared differently. I didn't like the way it looked like layer after layer of frost... but then again he was just a student.

I'm sure we'll be impressed The shot from the trailer showed him projecting frost from his hands upwards, so hopefully they up the ante a little bit

I was thinking that the mist in his area would implode into a solidified object. Or, what would also look interesting is to see ice chunks form from the air, almost like falling from the sky, and come together to create his slide as he's using it. Another great effect is him radiating cold air from his body. Like Johnny Storm's flaming head, only Bobby has cool mist evaporating from the top of his head. Same thing goes for his hands too.

Yeah profezzor x it is pretty sweet.

Yeah profezzor x it is pretty sweet.

Another trick he could use are some large and spikey ice gauntlets on his fists and forearms. So while he's fighting in the final battle, he could use them to fight off larger, mutants with superhuman strength or other special abilities.

 

[eXperiment]

That would be awesomely sweet.

 

[ProfeZZor X]

That would be awesomely sweet.

I'm also thinking that when he fights Pyro, he could ice up and knock him out cold, using those ice gauntlets too.

 

[eXperiment]

Not a bad idea, not a bad idea at all.

 

[ProfeZZor X]

Not a bad idea, not a bad idea at all.

If they could get rid of that whacky ice costume of his, I'd be alright. I'm thinking it should resemble the same as Colossus, with the sleeveless arms. That way, when he ices up, you can see his transparency better, and maybe a few spikey shards coming out of his shoulders and back of his head.

Love the frost FX!
Guys does Iceman's suit have silver piping or very light, sky blue(ice colour) piping?

Looks silver to me. It's blueish when he is creating the ice, so it's probably just the glow from that.

 

[ProfeZZor X]

That would be very cool for an avatar.... Too bad they didn't ice him up like they did with Colossus.

This hasn't been posted yet, but I was watching Entertainment Tonight Canada and they had a feature on Shawn Ashmore (he was modelling some really preppy clothes for a magazine). They didn't tell us anything new, they just threw in some clips of the trailer while they were talking... he said it was great to be back on set with Halle, Hugh, Famke, and everyone else.

That's fine and dandy, but until he spills the beans on icing up or getting on an ice slide, there's nothing he can do for us fans for now, other than to represent Iceman the character.

sweet, thats my iceman

 

[Halcohol]

Hopefully we see him just screwing around in the Danger Room... maybe cracking a few jokes.

Hey, I can hope, can't I?
