Being able to make things cold offers no such tertiary advantages and is a net disadvantage.Joe Momma wrote:The energy he expends may not make a great advantage but it's still an advantage in that it gives him options others don't have. Lifting heavy weights can be tiring but that doesn't make being strong enough to lift more than others a disadvantage.Rob Wilson wrote:Did you notice he had to constantly feed energy in to prevent it from melting, and that it was visibly tiring him over time? Not a real advantage.Aeolus wrote:

Not that being strong is a be-all/end-all advantage, but it was the simplest analogy I could think of...
Going back to the ice wall, despite him constantly refreezing it, it was meting from the instant of conception (dark corridor, middle of the night, Strykers gloved hand has enough heat to come away wet after touching it seconds after it's formed). UNless he is constantly using his power, the system wants to return to its normal energy state, so in the survival situation postulated originally, he'd starve to death keeping his food refridgerated
There is no net gain to his powers outside of Comic book situations and plots.
