I remember Mr. Freeze from the television show – not sure which one, though. I also remember Arnold Schwarzenegger playing him in the movies. He wasn’t one of my favorites.
Otto Preminger as Mr. Freeze.
Mr. Freeze (Victor Fries) is a fictional supervillain appearing in American comic books published by DC Comics. Created by writer Dave Wood and artist Sheldon Moldoff, the character first appeared in Batman 121 (February 1959) in which he was initially named Mr. Zero. Mr. Freeze is one of the superhero Batman's most enduring enemies and belongs to the collective of adversaries that make up his central rogues gallery.
In the most common variation of his origin story, Victor Fries is a former cryogenics expert in Gotham City who was involved in a laboratory mishap while attempting to cure his terminally ill wife, Nora. The accident lowered his body temperature to the point that he must wear a cryogenic suit in order to survive, and he utilizes a "freeze gun" that freezes its targets solid.
Mr. Freeze has been portrayed in live-action by George Sanders, Otto Preminger and Eli Wallach in the Batman television show, by Arnold Schwarzenegger in the 1997 film Batman & Robin, and by Nathan Darrow on the Fox crime series Gotham. He has also been voiced by Michael Ansara in the DC animated universe, by Clancy Brown in The Batman cartoon series, and by Maurice LaMarche in the Batman: Arkham video game franchise. IGN's list of the Top 100 Comic Book Villains of All Time List ranked Mr. Freeze as 67.
