In the era of superhero movie mania that we live in, The Incrediblesand its sequel offered a heartwarming and satirical take on the reoccurring tropes found in superhero movies. To the delight of children and adults alike, the films by Brad Bird focused on all the behind-the-scenes details of non merely superhero life, just the lives of their alter-egos. Over the course of the films, the superheroes go from having to live in hiding, their powers considered illegal to utilise, to existence back to saving the world once new and dangerous supervillains force them out of retirement.

Though the main focus of the films is on Mr. Incredible and his super-powered family unit, a standout star remains his all-time friend and crime-fighting partner, Frozone. Voiced past Samuel Fifty. Jackson, this frosty superhero has the ability to turn water from his body into diverse ice-based powers, simply as long every bit he remains hydrated! Hither are ten things you didn't know most i of the coolest superheroes around.

10 HE HAS HIS OWN Tricky THEME SONG

Like all bully superheroes, Frozone has a theme song, but different other super theme songs that rely on examples of strength and awesome power in a bombastic song and trip the light fantastic number, Frozone'due south theme is every bit cool and chill equally he is. Sung past crooner Michael Giacchino, the catchy jazz diddy was featured on The Incredibles 2 soundtrack.

Frozone has been Mr. Incredible's clutch hitter since the early on days of their friendship, when the odds were greatest against them and all options seemed spent. These lyrics are already classic: "Who's the true cat who'due south e'er chill, when survival odds are close to nil, Frozone!"

ix HE DATED A FORMER SUPERHERO

While it hasn't been established yet if Dear was once a superhero similar Frozone, he did engagement one before he was married to her. Her name was Blazestone, and her abilities focused on heat control and pyrotechnic powers. This was in dissimilarity to Frozone'due south ice-related powers, which resulted in "opposites alluring".

When Frozone had to compete for Blazestone's attending by taking on Downburst, a superhero with diminutive powers, he'd had plenty. The combination of her fire and his absurd-headedness had made their relationship lukewarm past that betoken. She would go on to grade Beta Forcefulness with Universal Man as office of her rehabilitation after being arrested, which never sat well with Frozone.

8 Beloved Nigh Made AN ON-SCREEN APPEARANCE

Though she never appears in either Incredibles movie, Frozone'south wife Honey feels like she'south part of the film if only because she provides dialogue that gives Frozone some of his most memorable scenes. One of the anticipated moments in the second pic was getting to finally meet Honey, but alas, that award may have been saved for a third installment.

Her graphic symbol has already been designed past animators, and was provided as a fun extra when the DVD of the second film was released. It seems Brad Bird felt she was funnier every bit an off-screen character - despite being absent, she managed to have an incredible influence on Frozone, to much comic relief.

seven HIS POWERS ARE BASED ON HIS PERSONALITY

Like all the superheroes in the Incredibles franchise, Frozone's powers are based on his personality. Similar Violet with her shyness that denotes her invisibility power, Frozone's personality is that of a arctic guy with a laid back vibe and calm exterior indicate his icy powers. It's a refreshing modify from the stereotypical ultra-reserved and perpetually serious trope.

Brad Bird, author and manager of the films, once explained that only Samuel Fifty. Jackson could bring the role to life because he had the coolest vocalism there was. He knew its mellifluous qualities would lend themselves well to Lucius, who has go an extension of Jackson's own absurd cat personality by proxy.

six HE WAS INSPIRED Past ICEMAN

Taking a degree of inspiration from the pages of real superhero comics, to see Frozone in action on the printed folio, i need only look to the X-Men series. His powers and abilities were based on Iceman, save for the fact that Frozone can't turn his entire body into a giant block of solid water ice.

Iceman was i of the original X-Men squad members, and similar Lucius, could manipulate the water particles in him and around him to create ice weapons, also equally ice sculptures. The goggles protect them both against their own powers of cryokinesis, from going snow blind, and offer a degree of anonymity.

5 HE APPEARED ON A Television Show

While it never received air fourth dimension, the films inspired a television set serial that took place in the Golden Age of superheroes. A Gold-Age Mr. Incredible cartoon was made for television only only distributed to the special features of the DVD of the kickoff film which came out in 2005.

In the special feature, there's audio commentary provided past Mr. Incredible and Frozone as though they're watching information technology for the beginning time along with the viewers.  Their reactions are what y'all tin can expect; two superheroes actually debating the merits of leasing your likenesses for something you're not fond of, which they don't seem to be.

4 HIS POWERS DON'T Always WORK

Because Frozone draws upon moisture from the air to create ice structures from his torso, if the air is also dry or he'due south dehydrated, the procedure tin can't occur. He can't make them work if, like in the starting time flick, he finds himself surrounded past fires trying to evacuate people trapped in a called-for building.

When properly hydrated, Frozone can freeze bullets, shoot ice from his fingers, and cruise the city of Municiberg on long streams of frozen water. He can brand frigid winds with his cold breath and freeze milk. It's only when he's dehydrated that he can't provide the assistance needed to a distressed populus.

three HE USED TO GO BOWLING ON WEDNESDAYS

A dedicated friend to his superhero bestie Mr. Incredible, Frozone used to have to spend his Wed nights lightening to police monitors. He would tell his married woman he was going bowling, when in reality he'd exist participating in the same nightly ritual he's been doing since the Superhero Relocation Program forced superheroes into hiding.

Unable to use their powers to fight evil due to the collateral damage their brawls with supervillains caused, they had to go regular jobs and regular lives, which Frozone adjusted to a lot better than Mr. Incredible. Luckily, the world found a demand for superheroes again, and he'south back to fighting crime inThe Incredibles 2.

two HE WAS THE ORIGINAL TARGET FOR KRONOS

Operation Kronos was the abstraction of the megalomaniac Syndrome, who wanted to build the ultimate Omindroid robot for use in battle. His aim was to use retired superheroes every bit combatants against it, testing it for weaknesses and making the necessary adjustments before he unleashed it an unsuspecting world.

Every bit he tracked downwards all the Supers that were retired effectually the world, he made note of who would offer the most rigorous claiming for Omnidroid. Originally it was Frozone, not Mr. Incredible that was going to be the Omnidroid's original target. However, Syndrome couldn't pass up subjecting his childhood hero to his diabolical schemes.

1 FROZONE WAS E'er READY TO RETURN TO SUPERHERO LIFE

Regardless of his aligning to civilian life, Frozone was a Super at centre, and therefore kept his equipment at the ready for almost xx years behind shelves and surreptitious panels. His computer and plotting map were prepared to track down whatever supervillain scheme, and his special ice-skate boots were primed for speedy travel to thwart it.

In some ways, because of his acceptance of civilian life and his full general delectation, he was also able to keep in better shape than his friend Bob Parr (Mr. Incredible), whose constant family struggles tend to make him put on weight. Every bit long as Frozone stays hydrated, he tin utilise his cryokinesis through the thick or sparse stages of his life.
