Dr. Louise Lincoln

Dr. Louise Lincoln was a scientist and colleague of the original Killer Frost, Crystal Frost. After Crystal's death, Louise underwent the same experimental process that had transformed her mentor, gaining cryokinetic powers and taking on the Killer Frost identity herself.

Born into one of comics' most ambitious crossover events — Marv Wolfman, Len Wein, and George Pérez's landmark Crisis on Infinite Earths in 1985 — Dr. Louise Lincoln arrived at the tail end of the Bronze Age amid some of DC's heaviest hitters, sharing pages with Batman, The Flash, Green Lantern, and Firestorm. Her deepest roots, though, run through the Firestorm corner of the DC universe, where she became a recurring presence across The Fury of Firestorm and its related titles over a remarkable 36-year span. With a key-issue debut and a place in one of DC's most consequential stories ever told, she's a character whose staying power quietly rewards the collector willing to dig in.
