Mister Freeze using his freeze gun to destroy "Twilight in Gotham".
Mister Freeze's freeze gun was Mister Freeze's primary weapon which could instantly lower the temperature of its target while freezing it solid. Hie expertise with the gun was such that he could also use it to freeze ambient moisture, generating ice out of thin air for both offensive and defensive purposes.
History of usage
After an accident with cryogenic freezing tanks rendered him unable to survive outside of a sub-zero environment, Victor Fries became the tragic villain known as Mister Freeze. A scientific genius and an expert in cryogenics, Fries created both a vacuum tight suit which maintained his body temperature at 50 degrees below zero (while tripling his strength) and a laser-powered freeze gun.
Mister Freeze sought revenge on Ferris Boyle, his former employer who caused the cryogenic accident and seemingly doomed his wife, Nora. Freeze attacked GothCorp during the "Gotham Humanitarian of the Year" award ceremony, using his freeze gun to encase Boyle in ice up to his waist, intending to kill the GothCorp CEO. However, Batman arrived on the scene and stopped Freeze by using a vial of chicken soup (provided by Alfred Pennyworth) to crack Freeze's helmet, compromising his suit.
After entrepreneur/businessman Grant Walker used his wife's frozen (but living) body as a bargaining chip to gain a condition akin to Mister Freeze's immortality, Freeze betrayed Walker by using a giant freeze cannon (a larger-scale version of his personal weapon) to destroy Walker's "Utopian" society.
After the effects of the accident that had made him "immortal" was also deteriorating his body, Mister Freeze kidnapped several doctors to halt the deterioration's progress to which only his head remained intact. He had to use robotic spider-like legs to maneuver around and a larger bodysuit shell. With a new layer of ice froze over his heart, Freeze concentrated on bringing misery with his personal gun to the people of Gotham City and its protector Batman using a cryonic reverse fusion bomb. However, Batman and Batgirl stopped the plan and Freeze disappeared.
Some years later, Batman acquired at least one freeze gun and put it on display in the Batcave.
During the Thanagarian invasion when several Thanagarians attacked Justice League in the Batcave, Kragger used one of the freeze weapons on Superman but the Kryptonian's super breath blew the weapon's force back at the Thanagarian.
When Inque invaded the Batcave, Batman used another freeze weapon to freeze Inque solid, incapacitating her for apprehension. When Inque later escaped, Batman II attempted to use the freeze gun but Inque managed to destroy it before it could be used on her again.
Victor Fries' battlesuit equipped with two freeze guns built into the gauntlets.
After Victor Fries' consciousness was transferred into a new clone body by Derek Powers and Dr. Stephanie Lake and then the two opted to terminate their experiment on him, Fries escaped and used an armored battlesuit with freeze guns weaponry built right into the gauntlets to exact revenge on both the Wayne-Powers CEO and Doctor. After a confrontation with Batman II and Blight, Fries' last act was to delay the compound's collapse long enough for the new Batman to escape the destruction while he remained at its heart and was assumed dead when the building exploded.
