When a comatose Emma Frost hijacked Iceman’s body and demonstrated even further abilities he never thought to use, Iceman’s confidence was shaken. Currently, he remains at the Xavier Institute, but he is frustrated with how shallow his understanding of his own powers is. Personality As the youngest of the original team, he was unsure of himself and adapted by becoming the team’s resident prankster. Iceman has had a number of failed romances; behind his exuberance and smiles, Iceman is a man deeply troubled with his own powers and sorely lacking confidence. He is one of the few Omega Class mutants in the world, and ought to be unrivaled by most of his teammates, but his powers have languished; the breakthroughs he experiences are often inspired by the ideas of others. Iceman went back to college for an accounting degree, seeking an identity outside of his powers. If he ever overcomes his trepidations about unleashing his full potential, Iceman may be one of the most powerful X‐Men of all time. .

Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Repository. 6086. https://ir.lib.uwo.ca/etd/6086 This Dissertation/Thesis is brought to you for free and open access by Scholarship@Western. It has been accepted for inclusion in Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Repository by an authorized administrator of Scholarship@Western. For more information, please contact [email protected]. Abstract Established in 2008 with the release of Iron Man, the Marvel Cinematic Universe has become a ubiquitous transmedia sensation. Its uniquely interwoven narrative provides auspicious grounds for scholarly consideration. The franchise conscientiously presents larger-than-life superheroes as complex and incredibly emotional individuals who form profound interpersonal relationships with one another. This thesis explores Sarah Hagelin’s concept of resistant vulnerability, which she defines as a “shared human experience,” as it manifests in the substantial relationships that Steve Rogers (Captain America) cultivates throughout the Captain America narrative (11). This project focuses on Steve’s relationships with the following characters: Agent Peggy Carter, Natasha Romanoff (Black Widow), and Bucky Barnes (The Winter Soldier).

  • Cold War Under the Ice
    WeissCold War Under the Ice Cold War Under the Ice: The Army’s Bid for a Long-Range Nuclear Role, 1959–1963 ✣ Erik D. Weiss ilitary preparations for the Cold War extended to even the most frigidM environments on earth. The Arctic holds both fascination and fear in its stark expanses and unforgiving climate. In the superpower contest, the harsh, icy wastelands of the north presented an intriguing, barren region that technology could seek to conquer. Although the new ability to harness nu- clear energy revolutionized arctic research, the North Greenland ice cap also held more challenging options for U.S. Cold War strategists. Ice could be molded and carved. Ice tunnels could facilitate transport and offer seclusion, isolation, and a hidden presence. No weapon would have required more mo- bility and concealment than a system of intermediate range ballistic missiles (IRBMs) armed with nuclear warheads. The U.S. Army’s proposal to deploy “Iceworm” mobile IRBMs came to light in a recently declassiªed set of documents obtained by the Danish Insti- tute of International Affairs in connection with a larger study in 1997 on Greenland during the Cold War.1 Because scholars have not yet studied the Iceworm concept per se, this article seeks to place it within the context of the Cold War. Iceworm ªlled the perceived need for IRBM forces after the Soviet launch of Sputnik in 1957, an event that threatened the United States and the rest of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) with destruction by intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs) and eroded European conªdence in NATO’s deterrent posture.
