There's a running subplot of him trying to get Emma to explain what she did and help him have the confidence to do more. But not much comes of it in terms of actual power use.<BR/><BR/>Regardless, this is a great issue. Yeah, there's no reason for Banshee to be involved besides Gen X, but the story works nonetheless. And Lee Weeks provides great fill-in art.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2734283773701136760.post-13916252998281011712008-04-14T16:53:00.000-04:002008-04-14T16:53:00.000-04:00Yeah, a few writers have varied the uses of his po...Yeah, a few writers have varied the uses of his powers over the years, but he I don't think he's ever been shown to be as powerful as he is in this issue. The Age of Apocalypse issues also had some creative uses of his powers that haven't shown up since. One reason might be that Lobdell wrote Iceman out of the books a few years after this issue, and he wasn't really used again until the Joe Casey issues...and I don't think Casey even showed him "iced up".G.

IIRC Mike Carey, most recently showed that off in some of the pre-Messiah Complex issues. <BR/><BR/>Then again, my memories of this issue could just be coloring my perceptions.Austin Gortonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14281239771248780430noreply@blogger.com
