Cameron Mahkent

Cameron Mahkent is the son of the original Icicle, Joar Mahkent, and became the second villain to bear that name. Unlike his father, Cameron generates cold and ice naturally through genetic mutation rather than technological means, making him a born meta-human supervillain.

A child of the Copper Age, Cameron Mahkent stepped into the DC Universe through the pages of Who's Who: The Definitive Directory in 1987 — fittingly, a reference work dedicated to cataloguing the rich, layered world DC had built. Over a publishing history stretching into 2018, Cameron turns up in some genuinely prestigious company: the pages of Infinity, Inc., Geoff Johns' celebrated JSA run, and Justice League of America, rubbing shoulders with luminaries like Green Lantern, Doctor Fate, and Sylvester Pemberton. The presence of The Icicle among those co-stars is a detail worth noting for sharp-eyed DC historians. A relatively rare find in the catalog with only a handful of recorded appearances, Cameron Mahkent is exactly the kind of quietly intriguing figure that rewards the dedicated DC deep-diver.
