The Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League video game has officially unveiled Mrs. Freeze and her wife.
That’s right – it’s not Mr. Freeze – the Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League video features Mrs. Freeze!
The character reveal comes via the Season 2 update as part of the Season of Frozen Hearts.
Who is Mrs. Freeze?
The official details revealed by Rocksteady offer the following including that Mrs. Freeze unwilling left her cryogenically frozen wife behind but may have a chance to save her:
Victoria Frias is an ice-cold, self-sufficient survivalist who has watched her Elseworld turn to ice as Brainiac’s invasion took hold. By the time we meet her in Season 2, she has spent years as the last holdout of her dying planet, unwilling to leave her cryogenically frozen wife behind. But after being recruited by the Squad, she may have the chance to save her – and unleash icy hell.
Mrs. Freeze is bringing some much-needed expertise to the Squad in the form of her freeze tech. The primary way she utilizes her inventions is through her traversal, which incorporates a combination of ice-cool control and super-smooth sliding that makes for a fast paced, dynamic, and totally unique traversal kit.
The character also features an assortment of features and weapons.
Mrs. Freeze’s primary traversal ability is Ice Path. Whether used in the air or on the ground, this ability gives her complete freedom of movement. She can quickly slide around behind enemy shields to flank, dash straight into the fray, or even launch herself directly skywards, perfect for getting the drop on her targets. When her Ice Path has run dry, her secondary traversal ability, Loop-De-Loop, will get her moving. By jumping out of the loop at different times, Freeze can zoom in different directions: straight up for an aerial recon of the battlefield, straight forward to dash back into the fight, and straight down for a slam into the ground. Aerial Precision is her final ability, creating a mid-air ice platform for her to fire down on Brainiac’s forces. All of these abilities work together for a fluid, exciting style of traversal that’s easy to pick up, but hard to master.
Mrs. Freeze can approach combat in a variety of ways, with different tools to suit every method. With Heavy Weapons, she brings the fight directly to Brainiac’s forces, pelting them with a hailstorm of bullets from close to mid-range, which works perfectly with her fast and direct traversal. For a long range, cold and calculating playstyle, her Assault Rifles and Pistols allow her to pick off enemies from longer distances, especially when coupled with Aerial Precision to provide a frozen platform to act as a vantage point from which to fire. Plus, for when you need to really to go in for the kill, her Frozen Axe can deliver powerful, meaty swings and is further enabled by her tanky style of gameplay, focussing on Shield Harvesting.
