Mr. Freeze, originally Dr. Victor Fries, is driven to villainy after a lab accident at GothCorp, caused by the callous actions of CEO Ferris Boyle. Fries was attempting to cure his terminally ill wife, Nora, using cryogenic technology, but Boyle shut down the project, leading to the accident. This accident not only transformed Fries into Mr. Freeze, requiring a sub-zero environment to survive, but also seemingly resulted in Nora's death. Driven by revenge and a desire to find a cure for Nora, Freeze targets Boyle, leading to a confrontation with Batman.
