Biography
Dr. Fries
Victor Fries fell into a vat of liquid nitrogen one day, and lived. In an effort to cure his wife, Nora, from dying from a strange illness, he began robbing museums of large diamonds, believing they may be a source to the her cure. He was stopped by Batman and Robin, but escaped.
At a jewlery auction, Freeze returned and robbed a large diamond necklace. Batman and Robin followed and captured him, imprisoning Freeze in Arkham Asylum.
Freeze was then broken out of the asylum by Poison Ivy and Bane. Back at Freeze's hideout, Poison Ivy disconnects the cable in the nitrogen chamber that is keeping Freeze's wife alive. There is a final battle in a lab between Batman and Freeze after Ivy tells Freeze that Batman killed his wife. Freeze is thrown fifteen feet off of a platform, and breaks his helmet, which helps keep him alive. Batman agrees to help Freeze if Freeze can cure Bruce Wayne's dying friend, Alfred Pennyworth. Batman also tells Freeze that his wife is still alive, but just barely, and it was Ivy that pulled the plug on her. Freeze agrees, and Alfred is cured. Freeze has given up the life of crime, and is currently in Arkham Asylum. His wife was moved to the lab at Arkam Asylum so Freeze can finish his research there. Poison Ivy ended up being Freeze's cell mate.
