'''Freezing''' is the [[ability]] to reduce the temperature of matter, causing it to freeze.
<!-- NOTE: "Freezing" is the term that has been used to describe this ability in Heroes; please do not change it to "cryokinesis"; this term has already been discussed. For more clarification, please see the rename debate on this article's talk page.-->

The range of this ability appears to be quite short. Sylar did not have to have physical contact with the roadway in order to freeze it--he merely pointed his hand at the asphalt--but he did have to open the door and lean down from [[Northeast Brewing Company truck|the vehicle]].

While the range is short, the total volume of space affected can be quite large. In ''[[Cold Snap]]'', Tracy was able to freeze an entire parking garage; while the effect was centered on her body, it expanded slowly (Micah was able to outrun it) to encompass thousands of cubic meters.

===[[Sylar]]===
In ''[[Episode:Don't Look Back|Don't Look Back]]'', [[James Walker]] was found frozen solid, mid-bite. In ''[[Graphic Novel:Road Kill|Road Kill]]'' [[Sylar]] managed to coat a large stretch of highway with ice in seconds and in [[Episode:The Hard Part|The Hard Part]] Sylar froze Hiro's sword to the point of shattering. These events indicate that he can rapidly freeze a human body or cause hundreds of cubic feet of ice to form from ambient moisture in seconds or decrease the temperature of metal to the point of breaking.

===[[Tracy Strauss]]===
[[Tracy Strauss|Tracy]] was able to completely freeze an adult human in seconds, causing his body to shatter when he fell to the ground. She can similarly freeze flowers and leather straps to the point that they become brittle and shatter under their own weight or with little to no effort on her part. In ''[[Dying of the Light]]'', Tracy begins to demonstrate more control over her abilities: she is able to freeze the outside of a glass container without causing it to shatter; she also can induce extreme cold in human being without actually freezing him. [[Ability immunity|Tracy does not appear to suffer any ill effects]] from being in contact with objects that she has frozen with her ability. [[Nathan]] noticed that when she freezes things, her hands don't even get cold.

Thick, insulated clothing provides protection against Tracy's ability. She can apparently only channel her ability through her hands, as her ability can be blocked by placing heavily insulated gloves on her hands (''[[A Clear and Present Danger]]''), although she can eventually shatter the gloves (''[[Episode:Building 26|Building 26]]'').

Tracy's ability can be suppressed or countered by keeping her exposed to intense heat (''[[Episode:Building 26|Building 26]]'').

Ambient humidity apparently increases the effect of her ability, as noted by her freezing part of a parking garage when the sprinklers were [[Technopathy|turned on]] (''[[Episode:Cold Snap|Cold Snap]]''). In accomplishing this feat, however, she froze her own body in the process; she subsequently shattered when [[Danko]] shot her.

After coming into physical contact with Tracy, Peter accidentally froze [[Flight 195]]'s fuselage, opening a hole in it. {{epp|314}}

==Notes==
==Notes==
* [[Jason Badower]], creator of the graphic novel ''[[Graphic Novel:Road Kill|Road Kill]]'', [http://jasonbadower.blogspot.com/2007/02/sylar-page-4.html said] he didn't want [[Sylar]]'s freezing power to look like [[Wikipedia:Iceman (comics)|Iceman]] from the X-Men.
::"A beam of ice never made any sense to me and wouldn't look right in the ''Heroes'' world. I figured that the air around his hands would simply just get really, really cold rather than a beam of ice shoot out of his hands. I figured he could then extend and direct the coldness around his hands towards the road (I couldn't get him leaning out and touching the road -- how would he steer [[Northeast Brewing Company truck|the semi]]?!). But where does the water come from that forms the ice? Is it the oxygen in the air slowing down? Should I have drawn the ground wet from rain? Given that there was no direction for the latter in the script, I opted for the former. So my comic implies that he could freeze someone from a short distance (3 feet?)."

"Killed. Absorbed. Tested. In that order."
