In the field Black is able to keep a cool head by relying on scientific knowledge or rational thought. His quick thinking and common sense allow him to come up with ingenious practical solutions in the heat of the moment. Black is known to pull off daring feats, performing outright reckless stunts if the situation demands it, stubbornly placing the safety of others before his own wellbeing. | In the field Black is able to keep a cool head by relying on scientific knowledge or rational thought.

− | Despite being considered one of the more promising up-and-coming young heroes, already having his name attached to a brand, Black does not actively seek out the spotlight and prefers to keep to himself. He has actually gotten rather good at evading the press and he seldom agrees to do an interview, much to the frustration of his sponsors who would like nothing more than to see him embrace the media attention more willingly. | + | Despite being considered one of the more promising up-and-coming young heroes, already having his name attached to a brand, Black does not actively seek out the spotlight and prefers to keep to himself. He has actually gotten rather good at evading the press and he seldom agrees to do an interview, much to the frustration of his sponsors who would like nothing more than to see him embrace the media attention more willingly. When someone tries to capture Oliver on camera in his mutant state, there just happen to be sudden whiteouts or camera lenses that end up iced-over. |

This gives him the power to cause extreme drops in temperature, spontaneously freeze things solid and to exercise near complete control over frozen substances or ice formations. The ice created through the use of these abilities also has a slightly higher density and strength than regular, naturally formed ice crystals. Most notably the layer of ice that covers Black's own body when he is in his mutant state. |
− | While these abilities do not require direct physical contact, using these powers over longer distances appears to be more straining and does not allow Black to exercise the same level of control. | + | While these abilities do not require direct physical contact, using these powers over longer distances appears to be more straining and does not allow Black Ice to exercise the same level of control. It has been estimated that Black Ice is capable of reaching temperatures as low as several hundred degrees below Celsius when maintaining direct physical contact with his target. |

Black Ice is able to withstand extreme weather conditions, particularly those below freezing point, and possesses physical traits that are beyond the human norm, such as heightened endurance, fortitude and stamina. As well as having an abnormally high threshold for pain. In his mutant state Black is even able to withstand a certain force of impact and pressure, rendering most regular ammunition useless against him. There is also a minor increase in muscular strength, as well as reflex, but nowhere near the point of deserving to be called superhuman qualities. | Black Ice is able to withstand extreme weather conditions, particularly those below freezing point, and possesses physical traits that are beyond the human norm, such as heightened endurance, fortitude and stamina.

It will also take much longer for many forms of poison and most viruses to take effect, especially if skin contact or ingestion is required for them to be effective. Some of these types of biochemical weaponry may not be able to bypass the subject's mutant physiology at all. |
