History[]

Origin[]

The planet Tharr was settled by people with the ability to project cold. They used their abilities to mine for rare minerals for centuries and became the oldest human-settled planets. Brek Bannin was born with stronger abilities and came to follow the exploits of the Legion of Superheroes.

He applied for membership in the Legion but was rejected because he was too young and lacked proper control of his powers. Over the years, Polar Boy mastered cyrokinesis and was accepted into the Legion.

Powers[]

  • Cryokinesis: Polar Boy can reduce the heat around himself or other objects, creating a drop in temperature ranging from mild to intense. Because of this, Brek can withstand hotter than normal temperatures. Usually, when he makes an item very cold, ice or frost will condense on its surface. He often wears warm clothes due to the cooler temperatures on Earth. Polar Boy also possesses the ability to project waves of intense cold from his hands. These cold blasts can freeze opponents in their tracks or act on the elements, such as transforming water vapor into ice crystals.

Weaknesses[]

  • Intense Heat: Intense heat will negate the effects of Polar Boy's powers.
