GI Joe:
Iceberg by pluv
Arctic Assault Trooper
Bio:
If you can’t stand the heat, get out of the kitchen. That is exactly what Iceberg did after growing up in Brownsville, Texas. He jumped right into the freezer by joining the Army and putting every cold weather base on his dream sheet.
Iceberg uses the severe cold weather conditions most soldiers find so frustrating to his advantage. He teaches Special Forces troops to dress in layers. If he’s driving the Sea Lion he wears a wet suit underneath just in case. In -40 below, lubricants in standard issue weapons gum up and firing pins shatter. For this reason Iceberg uses a milled steel AK with teflon coated internals loaded with 7.62 ammo. On the treacherous terrain where his next step could be his last, he moves quickly and lightly.

Now that Lt Falcon and Steeler have laid out the mission for the Arctic Commandos, Iceberg will be giving the newly designated Sea Lion a trial by fire.

Cobra ICE Officer by Raptor
Infantry Cold Environment Officer
Cobra ICE Officers are dedicated arctic troops that have given their lives over to DR. MINDBENDER (TM) to become a frozen monstrosity with the ability to dominate the icy battlefield. Cobra ICE Officers have had all fluids and organs replaced with Bioactive Frostzone (TM) fluid which allows them to operate at freezing temperatures that would kill even the smallest of Bacteria. When they lead Cobra ICE Troopers out to the battlefield, they leave GI JOE FROSTBITE (TM) in the cold.
“They are cold men, both in temperature and temperament. They radiate a chill around them from their frozen skin, but you can feel it even watching them through a video monitor. If you ask me, they were already frozen even before they changed!”
Body: Blizzard
Head: Tunnel Rat Hot Glue
Dollar Store Ninja Armor
Cobra ICE Trooper by Raptor
Infantry Cold Environment
Cobra ICE Troopers were once normal SNOW SERPENTS (TM), who had the misfortune or bad judgement to be turned over to DR. MINDBENDER (TM) in his quest to create the ultimate arctic trooper. Replacing their fluids and organs with Bioactive Frostzone (TM) fluid and wearing a special suit that keeps the Frostzone (TM) fluid from becoming stiff as the ice around them, Cobra ICE Troopers are colder than even the most frigid of arctic climes around them.
“A Cobra ICE Trooper can theoretically exist at -128 degrees Fahrenheit indefinitely without permanent injury. A mere touch from one on unprotected human skin can cause severe frostbite, and even the loss of a limb. Though they may never leave the frozen north again, the Cobra ICE Trooper is a powerful force anywhere that the mercury stays below zero!”

Head: Big Ben, Hot Glue
