The Icemaster is a fictional Marvel Comics supervillain. Icemaster was created for one of a series of Hostess advertisements placed in various issues of a number of Marvel comics. He is the only character from the ad campaign to enter mainstream Marvel continuity. The Icemaster Hostess ad appeared in multiple comics which debuted on the newsstands in December 1979.

Fictional character biography

The identity of the Icemaster is unknown as well as his background, but he had plans to create the next ice age. He had frozen much of New York until he encountered the Human Torch. The Human Torch defeated him by throwing Hostess Fruit Pies to him, inducing his surrender.

Like the rest of the Hostess advertisement characters, the Icemaster then languished in anonymity for over a decade, until writer Kurt Busiek included a contest for the comic book Thunderbolts. He introduced a new rendition of the Masters of Evil which was populated by obscure characters. To win the contest, contestants had to supply the names and debuts of each of the 25 villains shown on a splash page. Icemaster was easily the most obscure of the lot.

In the story's plot, Icemaster's defeat was not explicitly shown, although he was apparently captured off-panel.

Powers and abilities

Icemaster can generate and control ice he can create blasts of cold, ice missiles and walls of ice from ambient moisture, as well as forming sleet, snow, and freezing rain.
