Nora Fries - Flashpoint: Citizen Cold (2011)

The wife of the famous scientist Victor Fries, Nora was happily married to her husband. However at some point contracted an illness that led to her health growing worse. In an effort to prevent her from dying, Victor Fries began to use his scientific knowledge to develop a cure, only for an experiment to go wrong and drastically alter his physiology.

Her condition finally reached critical, forcing Victor to turn to crime - as Mr. Freeze - to find the cure, listening out for any little rumour he could act upon in his mission.

Because Captain Cold killed Freeze in Central City, Nora's illness went untreated and she later died, with the supposed hero mocking Victor about her already being dead.

Mr. Freeze - Flashpoint: Citizen Cold (2011)

Formerly a scientist named Victor Fries, Freeze became a criminal in a desperate attempt to save his wife Nora from dying from an unknown illness.

At some point in his life, his underwent an incident that caused his body to eventually deteriorated to the point that only his head and mind were functioning.

Freeze developed a suit that allowed him to operate in temperatures above freezing, as well as creating numerous weapons that had the power to encase a target in solid ice. His technology utilised similar properties to that of cryogenic preservation.

Freeze was an old friend of Neil Boreman (The Rogue known as Fallout) and promised him that once he had found the cure for Nora's illness, he would help Boreman to rid him off his radioactive powers, so that he could be reunited with his wife and children.


"Cold-Hearted"

Having heard rumours of the technology he needed to use to save Nora's life being located at the Central City branch of S.T.A.R Labs, Mr. Freeze attacked the facility, only to discover that it had been a set up. Blasting through the wall, he angrily snapped that he did not like being "lied to."

Yelling at panicking citizens to move aside for him, he was confronted by Citizen Cold. He remarked that he did not have time to face the so-called hero, unleashing an ice beam from his gun. However he was hit by Cold's duel wielding ice pistols, sealing his suit in solid ice and screaming in pain. Observing the people chanting for their hero, he declared that Cold was little more than a "sanctimonious fraud," before detaching his helmet from the rest of his armour and scuttling away on robotic legs.

Knocking one of the pistols from his hand, Freeze demanded that Cold left him alone, attempting to escape in the chaos of a van crash. However Cold caught up to him, putting pressure on the casing as the hero boasted that he was the one who had snared the trap for Victor, adding to the distraught husband that Nora would be dead. He was unable to protect himself from Cold's killing shot, ending his life - with the latter claiming that "dyin' for love is the dumbest reason."

The Unfinished Red Tornado Unit - Flashpoint: The World of Flashpoint (2011)

The last Red Tornado unit created by Thomas Oscar Morrow, he was built like the others to protect Japan from the fall of civilisation that was spreading across the globe. However before his programming could be completed, Morrow died, leaving him incomplete.

Waiting in Morrow's laboratory, he was unable to recognise or understand that his creator was deceased. Remaining on his own for an unknown period of time, he declared that once his programming was complete, he would stand by his brothers and fulfil the primary purpose that Morrow had commissioned them for.

After detecting Traci Thirteen's arrival to Morrow's Tokyo lab, Red Tornado warned her to "halt" and identify herself, threatening to kill her if she did not do as he commanded. Hearing that she was looking for "a Hermit" (taken from Madame Xanadu's tarot cards), he began to recite the meaning of the word, listing both meanings - both a recluse and a "molasses cookie" - to the confused girl. When asked if he was the one she was looking for, he replied that he was nothing more than a "guardian" waiting to be enlisted into the ranks of the Red Tornadoes.

He told the young magician that Morrow would have wanted him to be of help to her, asking her to wake the doctor up for him, so that he could finish his programming and allow him to accompany her across the world in her mission to stop the H.I.V.E Satellite. Directing her to his creator's wheelchair, he could not process Morrow's death, stating that he wanted to help her and needed to be completed. Traci sadly told him that despite his wishes, the unit was not capable of helping her, teleporting away and leaving him to grieve.

Dr. Thomas Oscar Morrow - Flashpoint: The World of Flashpoint (2011)

A scientist responsible for the creation of the Red Tornadoes, Doctor Thomas Oscar Morrow was contracted by the Japanese government to produce an army of androids that could be used to protect Japan during a time of uncertainty and war. Using his intellect in the field of robotics, he programmed them to fulfil one specific task - to ensure the safety of the nation by any means necessary.

Operating out of a laboratory in Tokyo, Thomas began working on another unit of the Tornadoes, however died before he could complete the project.


"This is the World we Made"

In search of a way to protect the world from her father and the Hive Council's satellite, Traci Thirteen used her magic powers to transport her to the embodiment of "the Hermit" tarot card, only to come across his skeleton propped up in a wheelchair. His latest Red Tornado Unit was unable to perceive him as being dead, insisting that he was alive and merely sleeping.

The Red Tornadoes - Flashpoint: The World of Flashpoint (2011)

Conceptualised and produced by Dr. Thomas Oscar Morrow, The Red Tornadoes were a defence project commissioned by the Japanese Government to protect Japan from being attacked, following a breakdown in geo-political relations between nations in the wake of the Atlantean/Amazon war.

Not only were they programmed to enact lethal force against any act seen as a threat for national security, the Tornadoes were a public deterrent. Many units were created and distributed across the country, with one of their main production sites being based in Tokyo. There single function is to protect their assigned country.

However during the manufacturing of one of the units, the creator died.

It was never revealed if any more units were crafted. The lone unit referred to them as his "brothers", though it was not made clear if all templates of the Red Tornado unit were designated as being male.

Each unit floated above the city, monitoring the world from the sky.

Ocean Master - Flashpoint: Deathstroke & The Curse of the Ravager (2011)

Having sunken the entire of Western Europe, Ocean Master and Emperor Aquaman took over the flooded countries, defending them against any other ships or surface-dwellers as they planned to get their revenge on Wonder Woman and the Amazons, who escaped from the complete destruction of the deluge.


Among these command posts, the pair took up residency in the Eiffel Tower. He was partly responsible for the destruction of the Warlord's main fleet and ship - leaving them as a warning for any sailor foolish enough to enter their conquered terrain.

Although Aquaman tried to sue for peace and regretted his actions, Ocean Master constantly warned him of the threat that humans posed to Atlantis and their culture and called for violence at any opportunity.

At some point he had heard of the reputation of the infamous Deathstroke and his pirate crew.


"Separation Anxiety" 

Looking out across Paris through a pair of binoculars, Orm pointed out the Ravager to his half-brother, musing about how they had not witnessed the destruction they wrought to the Warlord's fleet. He expressed his opinion that the crew were nothing but "misfit{s}."

Following in pursuit of Aquaman, he dived into the ocean, swimming at full pelt through the waves and boarding the lone ship. On his King's instructions, he set about to attack each member and kill them one by one.


"Red Tide"

He coldly told Emperor Aquaman that their war would be over when every "surface dweller" was dead, jumping over Clayface and clashing with the Tattooed Man. His opponent tried to use his body art animation - in the form of serpents - to defend himself from the prince, but Ocean Master speared him with his trident and pinning him violently against the wall, calling him "little man" who should have headed the actions of several members of the crew and abandoned the doomed vessel.

As he retrieved his weapon from the deceased Tattooed Man, he watched Aquaman kill the Scavenger. Using the weakness to the Ravager as an advantage, Orm sent Icicle - frozen in a block of his own ice for protection - crashing through the floor and into the bowls of the ship, before turning his attention to the Eel. Knocking him back, he was about to kill Deathstroke when he was called off by Aquaman, who remarked that they had more important things to do than concern themselves with them. Kicking the captain in the face, he mockingly named them "scraps" as they dived into the ocean and swam away.
