We've been hearing more from Sony Online Entertainment this year about the upcoming MMO DC Universe Online, and while news of a beta or even an alpha would thrill us, we're more than happy with what we've been receiving this fall. The folks at Sony Online Entertainment have been treating us to a parade of new characters as the months progressed, and they're getting the fans in on the creation process with an animation contest.
SOE has made another addition to the cast of DC Universe Online, and it's not a huge surprise given the time of year: Mr. Freeze. Mr. Freeze, otherwise known as the conveniently-named Victor Fries, is a cryogenicist who suffered an accident in his quest to save his wife Nora from a fatal illness. As a result he must now be encased in his supercooled suit whenever the outside temperature is above sub-zero.
Check out the official site for current information on all the characters.

Does this mean I can have a chance at beating up The Governator?

Massively has been slacking in the news arena. This news came out yesterday.
Well at least it's not Guild Wars 2 news!! The game that is going to come out in 2011, maybe!

I'm getting kind of tired of these character reveals. I want more actual information about the game. Still, Mr. Freeze is pretty cool.

OMG! You mean after a couple of months of silence from the DCUO team we get a huge reveal of YET ANOTHER PREDICTABLE NPC?????
I'm sorry, DC guys, can we just take it as a given that EVERY major DC comics character will be in the game somewhere? We get it. Really. Batman will be there, and so will the Joker, Penguin, Scarecrow, Mr. Freeze, Poison Ivy, Bane and the Catwoman. We don't really need the next one to be featured as a special preview next month. We kind of expected them to be coming.
Well, consider it this way... it's like Chevrolet rolling out a new sports car, and the first month they give a sneak pic of the front left wheel with its sexy new rims. Then in the second month, they release a sneak pic of the front right wheel... then third month the left rear wheel... by the time we get to the fourth wheel, no one is tuning in.

As a comic-book nerd I wish to lodge a formal complaint against comic publishers over the use of formal names with "hints" at what they do.
I mean, his name is FRIES and he ends up FREEZING things?
Does that mean my name should have been Mechano because I work on equipment?
Should the writers her all have "blog" in their last names?
ENOUGH! RISE UP!
