Victor Fries was the lead researcher of Roxxon Corporation, a research based enterprise who where rivals to Stark Industries headed by Hugh Jones. When Roxxon fell into bankrupcy, Tony Stark bought it out, leading Jones to seek illegal research to boost his company's value. This meant that Victor could not focus on helping his dying daughter, Nora, so he had her in cryogenic sleep. Seeking revenge on Iron Man, he called upon his brother, Eric Fries, the Grim Reaper, who arranged a meeting between Victor and S.T.A.R. Labs' CEO, M.O.D.O.K. who has a new power suit in development, one which give the user the power to control ice. M.O.D.O.K planed to double cross him. The meeting went awry when Bekka and the Flash invaded the facility to arrest M.O.D.O.K. which ended in Fries getting stuck in the suit. Calling himself Mister Freeze, Victor vowed to protect his wife at all costs, even if it meant allying with theMasters of Evil.
