:Ice generation would actually be less accurate than cryokinesis, which does not necessarily include the ability to make ice appear. I consider "cryokinesis" to be as real a word as "pyrokinesis", which is not all that unusual; it's usually familiar to the comic book crowd, if not the general public. Cryokinesis is specifically the ability to remotely reduce temperatures, possibly causing objects to freeze. "Ice generation" sounds more like the ability to create ice from nothing. --[[User:Ted C|Ted C]] 10:08, 28 December 2006 (EST) |

::I agree that ice generation in less accurate. Unfortunately there's a bit of disagreement on the use of cryokinesis since it doesn't appear to be a real word even if it's commonly used in the comic book crowd. As a result I think the best option at this point is to go with "cold manipulation". While it doesn't have the appeal of a word like cryokinesis it has the benefit of being sufficiently general. Hopefully at some point the show will give a name to this ability and we'll be able to put this to rest. :) ([[User:Admin|Admin]] 10:34, 28 December 2006 (EST)) |

Revision as of 15:34, 28 December 2006
Name of Power
The name of this power (though much is still unknown about it) has come into question. It was called "Cryokinesis", from Greek "cryo-" (cold/freezing) and "kinesis" (movement). This is a fairly logial word creation, though it is just that: a creation. The name of the power was recently changed to "Ice generation". Are there any opinions about the name of the power? Any new suggestions? Personally, I don't really care one way or the other. I thought "Cryokinesis" sounded cool, but "Ice generation" is probably more exact (though I think it also might describe my freezer's superability). Anybody want to weigh in? - RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 22:15, 23 December 2006 (EST)
- I think it definitely needs a new name at this point since ice is just a side-effect of freezing water... and the power is more likely to be related to freezing in general than being limited to freezing water. At the same time I dont think "cryokinesis" is an actual word. Wikipedia uses "cold manipulation" which I personally think is sufficient for the time being until we hear more about it (and whether it is indeed a separate power and not a side-effect).
