> [@DPRK](#): > > [Snow Queen](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Snow_Queen). (Her main characteristic is being some sort of advanced Zen master, which the stupid kids in the story sadly never got but at least she tried, but she definitely has an array of awesome snow and ice powers including controlling snowflakes.) How about the Oglaf Snow Queen? ---

I’ve got a few actual comic book examples: -DC’s short-lived 90’s title Young Heroes In Love had Frostbite in it’s ensemble cast. -Super-hero role-playing games almost always had ice/cold heroes or villains among the sample characters. The Champions RPG was popular enough in the 80s to launch a comic book series based the Champions super-team characters from the game, which included Icestar (and, later, his kid sister Icicle.) -Jack of Fables was a spinoff of the popular DC/Vertigo Fables series. In one of his adventures, he seduced the Snow Queen and stole her powers, becoming Jack Frost. ---

Katara from _Avatar_ (or any waterbender, really, but let’s go with her). Rukia from _Bleach_ (some other Soul Reapers also have ice powers, but let’s go with her) [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/the-just-ice-league/821785.md?page=2)
