I'm not saying he should do it, I'm just saying he could if he wanted to.

I've been sitting here for 5 mins trying to think of a joke to make but I just realised the animators of Mass Effect already did it for me

What is his real power is he diverts heat from our universe's system into a different universe's system, and in short he is causing global warming on an alternate earth?

He sends it into the local shared matter-energy holding pocket so that someone else can shoot it out of their hands later. It's all kept in balance by the cosmic anthropomorphic personification of double entry book keeping.

He makes things cold. His name is Iceman for fucks sake.

Also he can just become water and make golems, because, sure why the gently caress not?

He is probably the most broken X-Men member and that includes the ones who can disrupt reality.

No, he doesn't transfer energy to anything, he just stops it.

He is called that because it is what we can observe in this reality. In another reality he is called the Hot Death and their world is dying!

Amusing Bobby Drake movie trivia I didn't realize until just now: the actor that played Bobby Drake/Iceman in the X-Men films, Shawn Ashmore, also played Lamplighter in Netflix's The Boys, who has fire manipulation powers.

He absolutely can, he just doesn't because that also generally involves committing a bunch of murders. Even if he wasn't trying to cause the heat death of the universe, reducing temperature to absolute zero in a local area would kill any humans in that area pretty quick.

Jubilee might be able to do that, but hasn't yet. Ice Man has reduced a localized temperature to absolute zero.

It's just the natural evolution of a character who's been around for nearly sixty years now. Angel? Went blue and got metal wings. Beast? Also went blue, keeps getting new characterizations and a hosed up evil version who escaped from AoA. Marvel Girl? Got cosmic power and made dying and being reborn literally her gimmick. Refuse to call her Phoenix at your peril. Hell, even Cyclops got some subtle power ups, like losing the need to power up from sunlight and ever running out of power. By comparison Iceman going from "shoots ice" to "shoots ice REALLY WELL" is a pretty modest upgrade.

Iceman can cause the heat death of the universe, if he wanted to. Also can teleport if there's water.

Beak is so good at making friends that he'd just ask really nicely and have one of the other omega threats do it.

Omega level charisma powers yo

I only have excellent ideas
Beak is cool and his power is being a good dad. So I guess the extrapolation here would be that he could solve any problem by I don't know, wrapping a bungee cord around it or duct taping it to something else and clapping his hands on his jeans and saying "welp, that'll do for now. Ok, let's boogie, people."

You're very close but the activation phrase for the incantation is "Well, that's not going anywhere"
