Mister Zero aka Mister Freeze

Mister Zero aka Mister Freeze

Here's the results of some research I did into the early appearances of Mister Freeze. I was curious and looked into this after watching an episode Batman Caped Crusader, 2.08 Zero Hour.

Four of Mister Freeze's first six appearances in comic books were reprinted in Batman Arkham: Mister Freeze. This collection is available on Hoopla at the time I am writing this. Mister Freeze is the only supervillain in these stories.
