| “ | I used to be afraid that because we shared a body, I was only gonna get to live half a life, that I was only gonna be half a person. I realize now, that isn't true. You didn't take anything from me. In fact, it's just the opposite. You make my life complete. I gotta be honest, I'm a little worried that we're not gonna make it out of this and that I might lose you forever. And I can't handle that. I would die. I love you more than anything. | ” |
— Frost to Caitlin Snow[src]
| ||
Frost, formerly known as Killer Frost, was the former alter of Caitlin Snow when Snow was cured of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and developed dissociative identity disorder.
Frost originally worked in the criminal world alongside Savitar, and later served under Amunet Black. Frost soon reformed and joined Team Flash and switched positions with Snow regularly. Eventually, the injury caused by Eva McCulloch's Mirror Gauntlet split Frost and Snow apart.
Originally thinking she could live a normal life, Frost was hunted by government official Kristen Kramer and sent to prison for his crimes before rebranding as a vigilante. Luckily, Frost's heroic actions during a prison break allowed her to be on parole, rejoining Team Flash's actions.

Life in Prison[edit | hide]
| “ | Taking away a metahuman's powers isn't the same thing as taking away a gun from a criminal. Erasing our powers is erasing our identity. It's saying, "Hey, you were made bad, change that." But shouldn't justice be about changing the way a person acts, not the way they were born? I get it. You fear us because we're different. You'd feel safer if we were the same. But different can't be cured. It's here to stay. We're here to stay. Some of you only think of me as the criminal I used to be. Back then, I was only interested in protecting myself. But then, I found someone else worth protecting. And protecting that person led me to protecting a whole city. And slowly I changed. I learned how... I learned how to be selfless instead of selfish. I learned that I'm my best self when I'm protecting other people. | ” |
