Victor Fries (Earth-Prime)

"When his wife got sick, he tried to freeze her till they found a cure."

- Sophie Moore to Ryan Wilder

Dr. Victor Fries was a cryobiologist who froze his wife Nora Fries in a Cryochamber in order to find a cure for her illness. He turned to the life of crime as Mr. Freeze and became a foe to the Batman.

Freezing Nora
At some point, Victor Fries became a scientist and an expert in cryobiology. He later married Nora Fries and discovered that she suffered from MacGregor's Syndrome. Fries then froze her wife in a Cryochamber for 20 years while he searched for a cure.

Ice Cold Foe
He eventually turned to the life of crime as Mr. Freeze and was defeated by Batman before passing away in 2001. Afterwards, Batman kept his Freeze Tank in the Batcave until it was stolen twenty years later by "Circe Sionis" and given to Black Mask.

Former Equipment

 * Freeze Tank: Holding his own formula of liquid nitrogen, Fries used to utilize a cannister to supply cold air to the Cryochamber and freeze his wife. This was later stored in the Batcave until it was stolen in 2021 by "Circe Sionis" and given to Black Mask.
 * Cryochamber: Fries owned a cryogenic tank which he used to freeze his wife in cryostasis.
 * Goggles: Fries wore a pair of goggles with red lenses as Mr. Freeze.

Trivia

 * Fries had at least six doctorates, yet he continued to use the alias of "Mr." Freeze for years.
