− | Oliver Black is a troubled individual | + | Oliver Black is a troubled individual, displaying at least a few character traits and patterns of behavior that correspond with his mutant appearance. While generally an amiable young man, his attitude towards others can sometimes come across as cold or distant. He is not intentionally unkind to anyone, he just does not warm up to people easily. But once he does, his loyalty is solid. |

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 Oliver embrace his status as a minor celebrity. Instead his agent frequently has to deal with confused or disgruntled photographers who keep having difficulties with iced-over camera lenses. |

− | Black Ice possesses the ability to create, direct and manipulate ice or any substance below its freezing point. 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. | + | Black Ice possesses the ability to create, direct and manipulate ice or any substance below its freezing point.

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. | 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.
