now what i'd really like to know is what happens when mr. freeze tries to
shoot someone in a very dry environment. i mean, he must be getting the
water for the ice from SOMEWHERE. maybe he has his henchmen haul along a
fire truck or something (this is one of my complaints about iceman too...)

about Mr. Freeze's ice laser....

I'm going with a concept that Ed Bercerra pointed me out to.
To be more specific, here's an article that talks about it.

'In the interference zone (of intersecting Tesla waves) energy can be
released like a pulse or a high temperature explosion.  Alternatively,
energy can be withdrawn from the interference zone, producing a cold
explosion. Precision is needed for the locating of the interference
zone. Good accuracy can be achived through narrow beams and a
substantial input of energy resulting in high energy density in the
interference zone.'  -Dr. Possony. 'warrior: there will be war'

Maybe the old model of Freeze's gun relied on liquids a bit much, but the
one he'll use with 2034 technology will definitely be more efficient and
have no need for those tubes that hook up to the tanks on his back (heck,
he won't need the tank). 

Also something to consider is this, and I'm no physicist so I can't
say how much of a factor this'll be, but an object dropping its
temperature from about 20-30 degrees celsius to -20 or worse is
sure to be stressfull on the material.
