A small vial of a blue chemical, possibly liquid nitrogen or even the same cryonic chemicals which altered him originally, is sticking out of the plug and slowly pumping its contents into Freeze. Batman soon found Freeze locked in a beach-themed display case under a heat lamp, staying alive though the use of a plug built over his heart which can safely dispense a chemical into his circulatory system. Along the way, he found the Penguin had taken some of Fries' inventions for his own use, showing a particular preference for the Freeze Gun. He was going to continue his research into Nora's case only to be captured by the Penguin.īatman, who was suffering from the same affliction as Joker, was forced to rescue Freeze from The Pinkney Museum. He had hit a roadblock in its development when he realized that the cure, while conceptually and scientifically sound, quickly degraded after synthesis, making it useless for neutralizing the Titan by-products throughout the body. Nora's chamber was taken by the Joker, as leverage in blackmailing Victor to find a cure for the Titan poison. While the promise for the lab was fulfilled, Freeze was enraged that Nora was not present.

He was brought to Arkham City of his own free will when Hugo Strange promised full access to the old GCPD building to find a cure for Nora, who would also be with him at the building. At the time of the Joker's massive breakout, Freeze escaped the island, avoiding Batman and the anarchy completely. Mister Freeze's specially-frozen cell was kept in wing reserved for the most extreme criminals in Arkham Asylum. Nonetheless, curing Nora was still Fries' mission, and he would do anything to achieve that.
He was foiled and captured by Batman, who also rescued Nora from the CEO's clutches-earning him a bit of Victor Fries' gratitude and respect to complicate the resentment he felt for Batman's interference. He put together a cryo-suit to keep himself below freezing, and tried to exact revenge on Ferris Boyle. He quickly assessed what had happened, realizing the cryonic chemicals had altered his body. He managed to drag himself into a walk-in freezer, and found it comfortable. Victor almost died there, burning alive in the room-temperature air that was close to searing his lungs. Boyles, enraged at being attacked, callously decided to list Victor's imminent (or so he thought) death as a tragic lab accident.

They immediately began altering Victor, burning his skin to a pale bluish white and putting him into incredible pain. Boyle's security threw Victor away-accidentally onto the table of the cryonic chemicals Victor had invented. Victor was finally unhinged at this, and tried to attack his employer.
The GothCorp CEO, Ferris Boyle, discovered his employee's extracurricular research and, as Victor had feared, declared that since Nora had been preserved using company resources, she was now company property. He put his wife Nora into suspended animation, still alive and healthy, albeit in a coma-like state. He neglected food and sleep, and grew more unstable and sloppy in covering his tracks-but at last, succeeded in his lifelong goal in cryogenic preservation without any of the destructive tissue damage that freezing produces in a human body. Nora eventually accepted her death as something that would happen, which only seemed to spur Victor on even more. When Nora fell ill of a rare degenerative disease, Fries embezzled a fortune from his employer GothCorp in company equipment and research materials so he could create a cure. They eventually married, and they were happy. This changed when he was a young man and met Nora-a beautiful woman who saw Victor as quite a kind man. Victor was disowned and sent to reform school, and he grew up apart from everyone else. This, however, horrified his parents and neighbors. His interest began as a child, when he innocently attempted to save several ill neighborhood pets by cryogenic preservation. Doctor Victor Fries is a brilliant scientist and expert in all the forms of the science of cryogenics and, to a degree, in its related fields of chemistry and biology and pathology.
