Besides his student activities, Black quickly got involved in various other pastimes after arriving in the states. Including both sanctioned hero as well as vigilante jobs under the alias of Black Ice, working alongside law enforcement as often as not, and spending his spare time dabbling in advanced (cryo)chemistry. Although he has tread on the fine line between the role of hero and vigilantism in the past, Black Ice is on good terms with the Millennium City Police Department and is not considered a threat to the public safety, having lend his aid in the solving of numerous cases of street crime and investigations into underworld activity. After his last year of high school Black decided to pursue a career in crime fighting as a sponsored hero. |

While generally an amiable young man, his attitude towards others can sometimes come across as cold or distant. He is not intentionally unkind to anyone, he just does not warm up to people easily. But once he does, his loyalty is solid. |

He has actually gotten rather good at evading the press and seldom agrees to personal interviews, much to the frustration of his sponsors who would like nothing more than to see him embrace all of the media attention. |

+ | In the field Black is able to keep a cool head by relying on scientific knowledge or rational thought. His quick thinking and common sense allow him to come up with ingenious practical solutions in the heat of the moment. Black is known to pull off daring feats, performing outright reckless stunts if the situation demands it, stubbornly placing the safety of others before his own wellbeing. | ||

This gives him the power to cause extreme drops in temperature, spontaneously freeze things in place and to exercise near complete control over frozen substances or ice formations. The ice created through the use of these abilities also has a slightly higher density and strength than regular, naturally formed ice crystals. Particularly the layer of ice that covers Black's own body when in his mutant state. |

There are no exact scientific measurements to go on, but it has been estimated that Black Ice is capable of reaching several hundred degrees below Celsius when maintaining direct physical contact with his target. As such it is strongly advised not to initiate any hostile action while within close proximity of the subject. |

− | + | Black Ice is able to withstand extreme weather conditions, particularly those below freezing point, and possesses physical traits that are beyond the human norm, such as heightened endurance, fortitude and stamina. As well as having an abnormally high threshold for pain. In his mutant state Black is even able to withstand a certain force of impact and pressure, rendering most regular ammunition useless against him. There is also a minor increase in muscular strength, as well as reflex, but nowhere near the point of deserving to be called superhuman qualities. | |

And it will also take much longer for many forms of poison and most viruses to take effect, especially if skin contact or ingestion is required for them to be effective. There is a chance that these types of weaponry may not be able to bypass the subject's mutant physiology at all. |
