Freeze Man

An ice-themed Robot Master from Mega Man 7. He was originally built as a prototype robot for non-polluting energy before being modified for combat by Dr. Wily. Based on the theory that high and low temperatures combined are equal to normal temperature, Freeze Man can split the normal temperature in the ambient into high and low temperatures, using the former as an energy source and the latter to attack with his Freeze Cracker, a snowflake-like projectile. Freeze Man is a perfectionist and likes to make cool poses. He has great respect for Ice Man, since he is the first ice-themed Robot Master in the series.

Overview
Freeze Man clocks in at 100 HP and 0.8 speed, Freeze Man is perfectly average across the board. Alongside this, he actually has no mobility options of his own, so he's gotta rely on his feet to get him from place to place. His mainfire is a pretty unique thing about him, as hitting the floor or ceiling will generate a single one of his altfire spikes.

Main
Freeze Cracker

Freeze Cracker is Freeze Man's primary fire, and a rather solid one at that. It's a slow traveling, wide projectile that upon making contact with a wall, will split off into 3 identical chunks of ice that deal additional damage. (Well 6, really, but they hit the wall If it makes contact with a floor or ceiling, it'll create an ice spike that either falls and hits the floor for damage, or a floor spike that deals damage to anyone unlucky enough to walk on it. Ground icicles will also briefly freeze anyone who walks on them, meaning you can get additional shots in.

Alt
Shatter Cracker

When you press altfire, Freeze Man will begin to charge up, and after a short period, he'll unleash a fast moving large projectile, that upon coming into contact with a floor or ceiling, will unleash a torrent of Ice Spikes. On the floor, these will simply do contact damage. On the ceiling, these will crash down and explode into smaller chunks of ice that deal additional damage.
