About Captain Cold[]

The son of crooked police officer Lewis Snart and an unidentified mother, Leonard “Len” Snart had a particularly rough childhood. When his mother died, his father was left with no option but to raise Snart and his sister, Lisa alone. Embittered by his wife’s death, Lewis Snart resorted to physical abuse and became an alcoholic. His only escape was when his nurturing grandfather occasionally invited Snart and Lisa to visit the ice factory where he worked. Snart would cherish the cold atmosphere of the factory itself, symbolizing his escape from abuse. Into adulthood, Snart, being the bright kind that he was, chose to pursue a path of thievery and crime. As to Lisa, despite being an ice skating prodigy, Snart’s overprotective attitude, coupled with Lisa’s appreciative acceptance, drove her to follow Snart down the dark path that he took. Snart would later steal a special hand cannon that fired blasts of cold, and christened himself “Captain Cold”, when he found himself facing The Flash. Captain Cold and Lisa—now calling herself Golden Glider—recruited several members of Flash’s rogues gallery and formed the supervillain team known as the Rogues.

Biography[]

Sworn to ending all crime, the Regime hunted down and brutally executed every member of the Rogues, including Captain Cold’s sister, Golden Glider. Using his skills as a thief and his iconic Cold Gun, Cold now seeks his vengeance. He’ll gladly use the Society to achieve it.

Injustice 2[]

Captain Cold is first seen onstage during Gorilla Grodd's speech to the Society. He is then seen walking with Grodd and a few other fellow Society members, warning Grodd that he shouldn't betray them. Grodd reassures him that he won't as long as they have a common agenda and sends him off with Cheetah to go with the first wave of soldiers. Before he leaves though, he tells Grodd about the lost shipment of fear toxin and that he hopes that his "silent partner" can still deliver.

He is later seen walking up to his old nemesis, Flash, wounded when Deadshot shot him in the leg and Captain Cold fires a cold blast on his injured leg. Flash then expresses shock that Captain Cold would go along with such a chaotic day. Cold agrees about how chaotic the situation is, comparing it to the day that Superman formed the Regime. Flash tries to convince him to aid him in helping the innocent people caught in the chaos, before Captain Cold angrily refuses, comparing them to his friends and his sister. Ignoring Flash's apologies about his lost friends and sister, he engages in battle with him, with Flash emerging the victor.

Later in the story, he teams up with Reverse Flash in attacking Wonder Woman at the Ace o' Clubs Bar. He attempts to freeze her, but Wonder Woman deflects it, causing Reverse Flash to be hit and freeze. Cold compliments Wonder Woman before the two circle each other. Before battling, Wonder Woman asks why Cold joined the Society. He explains that he did so to gain vengeance against the Regime for executing his sister. Wonder Woman subtly insinuates that Golden Glider’s death was due to Cold’s own actions, rather than the regime’s, as he had lead her to a life of crime, which made her a target for the regime, but only succeeds in enraging Cold further. The two then fight, but Wonder Woman emerges victorious. He is not seen again for the rest of the story.

Along with the other members of the Society, he disbands when he learns that Brainiac will destroy the Earth rather than let them conquer it.

Powers and Abilities[]

Captain Cold possesses a cold gun, which generates a cold field at absolute zero temperatures, completely draining molecules of their kinetic energy, preventing them from generating motion. The Cold Gun can also fire streams of ice as beams, creating ice wherever they strike. Cold is a skilled tactician and has led the Rogues for many years.

Injustice 2 - Captain Cold Ending

Going after the Regime was one thing. But destroy the planet for Brainiac? You really thought I'd go through with it, Grodd? Really?! [BLEEP] you!

Sorry it's been a while, Sis. I know I've always got an excuse. But this time, I-I finally figured out the right way to honor your memory. I know what you're thinking--"Old Lenny sold out." So what? I'm making sure the Regime and Brainiac never happen again. Even buried the hatchet with old Scarlet Speedster. Ironically or whatever, he's the best partner I ever had. 'Sides you, Sis.
