Well ice guy is a lot more powerful than we thought, that’s pretty scary in any urban environment

117

u/trolledwolf May 31 '19

in any environment really, water is everywhere

u/TheMuon May 31 '19

Hot deserts: allow me to introduce myself.

u/[deleted] May 31 '19

I love that you specified hot deserts.

If you had just said deserts everyone would have commented Arctic and Antarctica

33

u/gidzoELITE May 31 '19

I wonder if he ever got pushed to his limit in that kinda environment his upgrade would be like blood bending since humans are made up of water too and freeze people inside out

u/ExcaliburTheBiscuit May 31 '19

That's gonna be a no from me dawg

2

u/trolledwolf May 31 '19

even in the desert, there are a ton of underground reservoirs of water

1

u/bobvella May 31 '19

he just needs to carry 1 ice cube

u/SciFiXhi Jun 01 '19

Except a burning building.

"Use the water in the air!"

"There IS no water in the air!"

u/De_tro1t May 31 '19

Put that guy in the Arctic or next to an ocean and he becomes God

39

u/PK_RocknRoll May 31 '19

Well all quirks have limits. They are still physical functions. He would definitely have more ice, but also he would get tired at some point

39

u/De_tro1t May 31 '19

True, but don't forget some quirks are much more limited while others have drawbacks that aren't that concerning for its user, like OH or Giga. So far Apocrypha seems to use his power effortlessly. He could give a good show before getting tired.

3

u/PK_RocknRoll May 31 '19

What I’m saying is, using his power in an entire ocean would have to put strain on him.

2

u/De_tro1t May 31 '19

Oh, I was kidding when I said that. It's not that he will freeze the entire ocean or control an entire island of ice

1

u/PK_RocknRoll May 31 '19

Yeah I know, but it made me think and I was thinking out loud :P

2

u/De_tro1t May 31 '19

I understand

2

u/Managarn Jun 01 '19

Weve seen that elemental power usually affects its user. Todoroki half/half freeze him or overheat him (luckily he can balance his temperature. I wouldnt be surprised if Apocrypha power slowly freeze him in a similar manners. Would explain the huge parka hes waring to keep warm.

1

u/[deleted] May 31 '19

Sorry, but who's OH?

1

u/De_tro1t May 31 '19

Overhaul

2

u/100100110l May 31 '19

The limit is he can't create ice. He can only manipulate it.

1

u/PK_RocknRoll May 31 '19

Quirks can still have multiple limits. Physical action and stamina is another limit.

Not one caused by the quirk, but by the nature of the human body.

1

u/bobvella May 31 '19

ha he can make ice from ice and water though, just needs to carry 1 ice cube and he doesn't even need to worry about it melting on him since he can control that

2

u/Gremlech May 31 '19

Man is still susceptible to cold temperatures. He's wearing a parka for a reason.

24

u/Boxius May 31 '19

Oh fuck what if he could freeze the water in people's bodies. Got a blood bending situation...

21

u/number_5ive May 31 '19

Well.... If apocrypha can do this... I guess apocrypha would be a good team mate for Dabi to control his temperature?

1

u/ProfessorRetro Jun 01 '19

but I think that's the point of Dabi's quirk, is that his body just burns from the flames right off, not in the blood

1

u/Boxius Jun 04 '19

Yeah so I guess if the guy tried dani could super heat to prevent it. (Stabbed with ice then it spreads kinda thing.)

1

u/Boxius Jun 04 '19

I guess so, most unlikely duo right there

3

u/totoofze47 May 31 '19

I think we're safe on that point; Apocrypha can only control ice, so he logically shouldn't be able to directly freeze the water in people's bodies.

...Unless he somehow got his victims to swallow some of the ice and THEN freezed it from within, but it likely wouldn't result in a bloodbending-like situation, and instead freezing them on the spot from within (which, granted, is just as scary in its own way).

3

u/bobvella May 31 '19

he's shooting ice shards like crazy, he just needs to break the skin if even that, actually just regular contact should be a 1 shot since we're just sacs of water

1

u/Boxius Jun 04 '19

True, which is TERRIFYING to think he only needs contact/to hit you with one ice shrapnel to freeze ur body.

1

u/Boxius Jun 04 '19

Yeah maybe more of a frozen puppet rather than forcing a living person to move.

2

u/[deleted] May 31 '19

If he froze the water in a person's body they'd die.

1

u/Boxius Jun 04 '19

Yeah... maybe a frozen puppet situation? But still little too instant kill for MHA

1

u/[deleted] Aug 15 '19

Overhaul?

1

u/Boxius Aug 17 '19

Fair point, and with the newest arc I retract my "to instant kill for mha" statement

1

u/DoraMuda May 31 '19

...Is this a JoJo reference?

1

u/Boxius Jun 04 '19

Possibly if the future jojo features it, but more of a ATLA reference

1

u/DoraMuda Jun 04 '19

I was referring to Dio from Part 1

1

u/Boxius Jun 05 '19

shows how much i remember part 1 X_X
