Cobra ICE Troopers were once normal SNOW SERPENTS (TM), who had the misfortune or bad judgement to be turned over to DR. MINDBENDER (TM) in his quest to create the ultimate arctic trooper. Replacing their fluids and organs with Bioactive Frostzone (TM) fluid and wearing a special suit that keeps the Frostzone (TM) fluid from becoming stiff as the ice around them, Cobra ICE Troopers are colder than even the most frigid of arctic climes around them.

"A Cobra ICE Trooper can theoretically exist at -128 degrees Fahrenheit indefinitely without permanent injury. A mere touch from one on unprotected human skin can cause severe frostbite, and even the loss of a limb. Though they may never leave the frozen north again, the Cobra ICE Trooper is a powerful force anywhere that the mercury stays below zero!"
