[edit] History
Upon the occasion of the Flash Museum's dedication, Captain Cold elected to join forces with several other Flash foes to take revenge on the Scarlet Speedster. Apparently, Captain Cold has a nagging wife and a stomach ulcer. After Mirror Master and Captain Boomerang each tried to take out Flash, Captain Cold suggested that they should just ambush the hero at the museum opening. In the battle that followed, he managed to freeze Orion temporarily, but was eventually frozen when Orion tore a water pipe out of the ground and sprayed it at the villain. His frozen body was taken into custody.
[edit] Abilities and weaponry
Cold wielded a pair of handguns capable of projecting beams of intense cold, not unlike the weaponry employed by Mr. Freeze. He also had surprisingly quick reflexes in combat, able to avoid a punch from Orion and retaliate with his weapons in rapid succession. No doubt these skills came in handy in past confrontations with the Flash.
[edit] Background Information
Captain Cold's real name is Leonard Snart, who become emotionally cold as a child as a result of his abusive father. He becomes a criminal as a thug and tried to develop a weapon that could defeat the Flash. At a lab, Snart discovered that his gun was altered, it could freeze objects. Then, Captain Cold was born. He never had a wife in the comics, but Captain Cold has a sister who is also a supervillain, Lisa Snart or the Golden Glider. He is the leader of the Rogues, a group of Falsh villains who work together, and is often considered to be Flash's archenemy.
Despite his emotionally cold demeanour, Captain Cold actually does have a moral code of sorts. He takes his fellow Rogues wellbeing very seriously, and also disapproves of drug abuse (once beating Mirror Master over his cocaine addiction). Additionally, Captain Cold has a strong dislike of killing, only doing so when he believes neccessary (such as killing his sister's murderer, though even that caused him some guilt).
[edit] Trivia
Captain Cold's less-than-impressive criminal career, combined with a somewhat henpecking wife, apparently placed considerable stress upon him--giving him a fairly nasty ulcer.
