Killer Frost

Crystal Frost was the first Killer Frost, a cryokinetic scientist with a grudge against Martin Stein. As such, she frequently attacked the hero Firestorm. When Crystal Frost was a student at Hudson University, she fell in love with one of her professors, Martin Stein. Stein however, rejected Frost's affections. Part of this was due to the fact he was married at the time and another part was he felt it was inappropriate for himself to be sexually involved with a student. Crystal was devastated and her low self-esteem eventually developed into a hatred of all men. After college, Frost became a scientist working on the Mohole scientific project in the Arctic. At this time, she was reunited with Stein. During their research, Crystal was accidentally locked inside a thermo frost chamber, and as a result was transformed into a killer with the ability to project waves of freezing cold. From this point forward, she began calling herself Killer Frost. Her first mission as a super-villain was to kill Professor Stein. By this point however, Stein was one-half of the fusion hero known as Firestorm. Firestorm used his nuclear based powers to defeat Killer Frost and she was sent to prison.
