Anton Lars was a Venusian prospector who suffered an accident related to the atmospheric generators used in the colonies of the Planet Venus. Lars managed to survive, but exposure to certain elements turned him into a living iceman who froze everything he touched. He was rushed to Earth where he received an experimental gamma ray treatment that seemed to return him to normal. However, he retained certain unusual cryokinetic abilities. After a period of adaptation to his new abilities, Lars received an invitation to join the Inter-Space Justice Syndicate.
POWERS & WEAPONS
Sub-Zero can reduce the temperature of his environment or a specific object at will by telekinetically reducing the kinetic energy of the particles that compose it (cryokinesis). Sub-Zero also possesses the ability to project waves of intense cold from his hands. These blasts of cold can freeze opponents in their tracks or act on the elements, such as transforming water vapor into ice crystals. In this way, he is able to use the moisture particles in the air to create ice structures for various purposes (creating ice shields or ramps to slide on mainly).
