Ice (Tora Olafsdotter) is a fictional character, a superheroine in the DC Comics universe.
Character Biography
The princess of an isolated tribe of magic-wielding Norsemen, Tora Olafsdotter had the ability to manipulate ice from birth. She joined the Global Guardians as Norway's member after they promised to protect her people, but, after the Guardians' UN funding was withdrawn in the wake of the Justice League's reformation as the Justice League International, her friend Green Flame (later Fire) talked her into walking up to a JLI embassy and asking for a job. Remarkably, in the wake of Black Canary's resignation and the abduction of several members, the short-handed JLI took them on.
Remarkably, the comic's writers later admitted having brought her into the League with the intention of killing her off within a year, but were surprised by how popular she quickly became, and decided to keep her.
Ice served with the Justice League International for some time (remaining with the American branch even after a European branch was opened), until she was killed while mind-controlled by the Overmaster. Mark Waid, who wrote those issues, has admitted that that was a mistake on his part.
Recently though, Fire, along with several other former JLI members, were sent to Hell through a mistake by Booster Gold, where Fire has seen Ice...
