This is a character I've been working on for over a year. I personally think he could really fit in with the rest of the DC Universe.

Arctic Avenger (real name Vladimir Stanislavich Petronov)

Character Bio: Born in Leningrad, Soviet Union on January 21, 1945, Vladimir Petronov was the eldest of seven children of the Jewish couple Stanislav and Anastasia Petronov. Academically gifted, Petronov attended the University of Kiev at the age of fourteen and graduated with advanced degrees in biology and engineering. In 1962, while finishing completion of a prototype cryogenic chamber, Petronov was unexpetedly assaulted in the laboratory by his project partner, Dr. Nicholai Pyrosky. Petronov was encased in his own cryogenic chamber. Unfortunately, Pyrosky caught fire on a Bunsen burner and then tripped and fell onto the chamber's nuclear generator, causing the entire laboratory facility to be destroyed with everything in it...except for the cryogenic chamber (with Vladimir Petronov still in it). Fifty years later, Petronov emerged from the cryogenic chamber to find that his home country had split into smaller countries and that he had the cryokinetic abilities. Moving to the small American town of Stanley City to continue his research, Professor Petronov maintains a double life as the Arctic Avenger, the publicly-proclaimed Master of Ice. Having been noticed by the Justice League, the Arctic Avenger was invited to join the Team as the de facto field medic and technician.

Powers: Cryokinesis (ice generation), Flight, Biological Immortality, Immunity to disease (caused by absolute-zero body temperature).

Skills: Fencing, chess, inventing, tinkering, researching, sculpting. The Arctic Avenger holds Master's Degrees in Biology and Engineering.
