He was portrayed by Canadian actor Shawn Ashmore in the original trilogy of the X-Men Film Series, as well as X-Men: Days of Future Past. Regardless, many were happy to see one of Marvel's oldest characters undergo such a reinvention, helping further the publisher's ongoing efforts to bolster diversity in their comic line. While his sexuality was speculated (and joked about) for decades, he officially came out of the closet in 2015 - it went down about as well as you'd probably expect. Iceman is notable for being one of Marvel's most prominent -if not the most prominent- gay characters. Historically, he was also a member of The Defenders, the original X-Factor lineup, and the (much-maligned) Champions of Los Angeles. At the end of Extermination, however, the younger, time-displaced Bobby was returned back to his own time period and had his memories wiped. Each served on a distinct faction of the X-Men: adult Bobby with the Extraordinary X-Men, teenage Bobby with the All-New X-Men. In spite of his rough upbringing, Bobby is known for his playfully sarcastic nature, if also being slightly guilty for his sensitive tendencies.ĭuring the All-New, All-Different Marvel era, there were two Bobby Drakes populating the mainstream Marvel Universe: original Bobby, who's since grown into adulthood, and a time-displaced teenage Bobby, who (with his fellow original X-Men) was pulled from the 1960s into the present. His true power was unknown to him for quite some time, however, thanks in part to being riddled with insecurities - a product of growing up with his abusive father before being taken in by Charles Xavier. But a man of untapped potential? Don't you dare ever call me that again!Īs the youngest member of the original five X-Men, Bobby's abilities are mainly ice-related, but he can also manipulate temperature and moisture, making him one of very few omega-level mutants. Label me the X-Man with the lamest power ever. I've stood side by side with the toughest, most powerful heroes in the known universe and always held my own.

Kuklinkski, who was both a charismatic family man and a brutal hitman, might tease a few of the nuances we can expect to see in Shannon's interpretation of Zod.My name is Bobby Drake. Of course, most moviegoers know Shannon as General Zod in Zach Snyder's upcoming Man of Steel movie. While not a household name (yet), Shannon is definitely a growing presence in Hollywood - turning in solid performances in Boardwalk Empire, Machine Gun Preacher, and this year's Premium Rush. He's joined by Winona Ryder as his wife, Ray Liotta as his handler, and an unrecognizable Chris Evans as his unhinged partner (a role once owned by James Franco). Vromen's Iceman stars Michael Shannon as Kuklinski, who looks perfect for the role with his creepy, mob-inspired visage. The Iceman tells the true story of contract killer Kuklinski, who worked for almost two decades between the 60s and 80s, all the while hiding his job from his loving family. You can check out the trailer at the top of the page but be warned, it does contain mild SPOILERS - if you're unfamiliar with Richard Kuklinski. The trailer for Ariel Vromen's The Iceman trailer has been released and based on the sneak peek, it looks to provide both a riveting crime drama for the casual moviegoer crowd as well as a potential awards contender - thanks to the onscreen talent and an engaging true-life story premise.
