Saved
Charles Xavier hears of his plight and sends someone to help him escape. Offering him to come with him, Bobby disagrees and the pair fight. The mob catches up with them getting ready to string them up when Xavier appears altering their memories to forget. After speaking with Bobby's parents they encourage him to go to Xavier's school for gifted youngsters.

Xavier's Academy
On arrival Bobby was rather amazed at how nice the school was and eager to learn his way around. Of course many of the girls made him nervous and trip over himself at first but his confidence grew around them. He did well in class but failed to work towards the potential of his powers. Ms Frost asked him into her office and showed him what the true depth to his powers can grow to be. He finds this cool but is still unsure if he will be able to perform in such great lengths or how this power will be useful to him in the future.
Now he has graduated as a student, is part of the X-Men, and teaches the students.

Cryokinesis:
He can control moisture in the air to freeze it to solid ice and form it into anything he wants. He can make ice into shards to send at an enemy or as a means of travel. Of course what he can do depends on his current state, if he is tired or hungry it can be weaker lest he is well rested its stronger. At peak condition he can do this for about eight hours.
Ice Slide:
Freezing the moisture in the air he can make an ice slide to help him travel up to speeds of 75mph. He must be in ice form to accomplish this and depending on the moisture in the environment depends on how long it stays. In hot weather it will melt quickly where colder weather it may stay longer. Unlike his organic form the slide can break easily.
Ice Spears:
Bobby can form spears of ice in different lengths to use as weapons. They can be thrown at those without protection and he can even use them for melee attacks. After a while they do melt and depending how strong he makes them some can shatter on the target making splinters on their form. They are best against unarmored foes being able to penetrate flesh with impaling, cuts, scrapes, and etc. With enough thrown force they can go through regular glass cracking it or even making it shatter, plastic can be dented or cracked, armor depends on the make of it. Weaker armor can be dented much like a car that gets pelted with large balls of hail, tougher armor would cause the spears to crumble.
Organic-Ice Form:
Bobby can encase his body in ice. It is hard against many weapons and if it does shatter he can reform himself. In this form he can pack a powerful punch and be extremely cold to the touch. The ice around him does give him some protection against concussive force and projectiles. It can withstand a 9mm bullet or two, but cannot withstand a barrage of gunfire. It can also withstand about 50 lbs. of blunt force. Bladed weapons typically bounce off. In his ice form, he is able to use the moisture in the air to form spikes, shields and his own projectiles such as spears, shards, snowballs. This isn't a form he can just remain in forever. Maybe about three hours but he will have to go back to his natural form to eat and rest.
Snowballs:
Do you want to build a snowman? Bobby can at least make snowballs and throw them at targets as distractions or for fun at others. They can be packed tight to really hurt or as light as snow depending on the need.
Athletics:
Bobby has played baseball back in high school and even for fun at Xavier's. He likes to keep himself in top shape. This means running, weights, and swimming laps. Plus he likes playing basketball, baseball, tennis, and other sports.
Combat:
Bobby is gaining training in combat at Xavier's School. He is learning hand-to-hand but also how to utilize use of his powers. Snowballs, iceform, shard throwing, and even how to make the ice slide work better to his advantage.
Ice Skating:
Bobby is rather skilled at ice skating. Light on his feet and quick he can even do a few tricks to show off if he feels the need.
Language:
Bobby can not only speak English but he is fluent in Spanish.
Xavier's Academy:
He is a teacher and member of the X-Men at Xavier's and has access to whatever teacher/team members can get too.
Annoying:
Bobby likes to talk and at times can do so inappropriately. When nervous he can talk randomly about anything and annoy allies or enemies.
Motivation:
He wants to continue to learn to control his powers to not endanger those he cares about by accident. He doesn't want others to have to be afraid of what he might or might not do to them.
Strong:
When is comes to facing physical dangers he is strong and willing. He is even strong enough to face up to bad situations and admit when he is wrong.
Witty:
Quick with a quip or joke in any situation even if it might not be appropriate at the time. Bobby can come up with amusing things to say to cut through a tense situation.
Dry and Arid Areas:
Bobby can utilize moisture in any climate but in real dry/arid climates it is harder to do so. Nothing he makes lasts long and the dryness can weaken him. If he is already weak and exhausted he is useless in such areas.
Heat:
Vulnerable to heat and fire attacks these can weaken him plus melt his ice form or anything ice created by him. Heat and fire gives him 2x the damage.
Undisciplined:
If asked to do something he wants to know the reasoning behind it before following along. Bobby has great potential but lets fear keep him from reaching it.
Jokester:
Bobby has a reputation as a prankster and comedian. People might not take
him seriously and can be annoyed by the jokes and pranks he makes. He also
sometimes gets distracted by his own joking even if it is a way for him
and the team to deal with the craziness of superheroics.
Temper:
He's not exactly a hot head but Bobby Drake does have a bit of a temper.
Get him mad enough and he'll be more prone to slipping up.
