Frost Giants (Earth-7045)

Of all the races of Jötunn, the foremost enemies of the Asgardians were the Frost Giants. They are ruled by Laufey & |Farbauti. The direct descendants of the first giant, and subsequently the first lifeform to be born in the universe, Ymir, the frost giants live in the area of Jotunheim whose climate resembled that of Earth's polar regions. Temperatures in this area never rise above the freezing point of water. The frost giants can exist comfortably at frigid temperatures but are highly vulnerable to heat. Although they can withstand the normal temperatures to be found in Asgard and in the temperate regions of Midgard, intense heat causes them to shrink in size rapidly, as if they were melting. Long exposure to cold will eventually cause them to grow back to their previous size. The Frost Giants' powers are strongest in their own realm of Jotunheim, presumably due at least in part to the frigid climate of much of the realm.

History

 * Frost giants and ice giants are very, very often confused by writers and artists in comics, but are extremely easy to tell apart. The confusion and interchangeability of the two terms are seemingly due to the close relations in the evolution from the ice giants to the frost ones.
