| [Apocalypse Manifesto] | The youngest of Xavier's original students, Iceman is also
the easiest to decipher and the most predictable in terms of nature
and inclinations. Like so many of the atom's children, Drake is a turmoiled soul, enshrouded by a cool veneer of dispassionate indifference.
Ice though, can easily melt, and a desire for normality is the fire which sears away the cold, hard shell surrounding young Drake. For his entire life he has questioned his desire to perform like a circus animal in the rings of nuclear theatrics. All about him, he has seen pathetic little people living pathetic little lives and he has yearned for a chance to become one of them. |

him lies the desire to be a normal human living a normal life. It is
in all their secret heart of hearts. Drake simply wears his more
openly - the better to see his wishes dashed time and time again.
Let him take an inferior woman as his mate, let him beget polluted offspring, let him taint the wellspring of power - let him weaken the resolve of the mutant race. Let the dwindling fire in his heart surge and grow into a raging inferno of desire - the sooner to melt his cold outer shell, the sooner to crush the hopes of the others... |
