There is a quick flashback to a hospital, Nora is alive but unwell. He is alone, looking at Nora who is just a shadowed figure in a glass chamber. A story of revenge and corporate espionage. Idk if light sensitivity is a condition of frostbite (maybe he got a concussion in the accident) but light sensitivity glasses would be a good explanation for his red goggles. He feels like a monster and it plays into his transformation aspect that way. He has a robotic voice now because of one of those throat devices heavy smokers use. The frost bite has also left him incredibly weak and ruined his lungs. His lab work was sabotaged and it caused a malfunction that gave him serious frostbite. The 'cold disease' he has is extreme frostbite It's kinda scary if you imagine Nosferatu in there. If you are wondering what that might look like, imagine a sleaker version of this: If he's using cold technology, he needs to be protected anyway. It's just not realistic someone would need their body at freezing temperatures. The suit protects him from cold, instead of keeping him cold Art Schivel, so I'd make his real name a combination 'Victor Schivel'. Fries is way too on the nose, and wasn't decided till BTAS anyway. I think it will be hyper stylized visually but realistic in story content (think Seven, or Drive). If you disagree and think this trilogy won't be realistic, I'm not here to argue that. Even though he's not my favorite villain, I wanted to try and come up with a way he could work realistically. People are really into having Freeze in this new trilogy, but I'm fairly certain Reeves' take is too realistic for straight out of the comics Mr. EDIT: Did an illustration to match the pitch
