Mr Freeze

Dr. Victor Freis's wife, Nora, contracted an as-of-yet-incurable disease. Victor created a freeze ray to put her in cryo-stasis until a cure can be found. In some interpretations, Nora is then shattered. In others, she remains intact, awaiting the day her husband can save her life. Freis changes his name to Mr. Freeze and takes up a life of crime to fund his research to save his wife.

Ice Age
Freeze and Gill eliminated each other in the opening round. They were replaced by Frost Walrus in the second.
