Iceman is now stronger. Smarter. Faster. More durable.
No seriously, see:
As you can see, the blue are the
official ratings, so those count. This now means that:
- Iceman is smarter. He's at the gifted level, but he's not actually gifted intellengence like Professor X.
- Iceman is has grown stronger and is within the 25-75 ton range.
- He can now go up to a or around supersonic: Mach-2 speed (Probably when he could travel within the waters. Or maybe on his iceslide, not sure. I believe he traveled faster in the water, actually).
- I'm actually not sure on the durability. He may have always been at the Superhuman level (6), but I can't remember right now.
- His energy projection has gone up I think just one level. I don't see how fans think he can project every kind of energy which is what level 7 is.
- Now Iceman seems to be a master of a single form of combat. Before he was at level 3, where he only had some training. Seems he got a lot more.
He also used an ice clone in the last issue of X-Men, something that he hasn't done in a long, long time. I'm glad Carey is doing all this awesome stuff with his powers, something previous writers neglected a lot.
