Comics: Captain Cold Gets A New Look For The DCnU

One of The Flash's oldest rouges, Captain Cold, is getting a makeover in the DCnU, and while he keeps his classic glasses his wardrobe is very different.

Captain Cold is set to make his return to the comics for the first time in DC's new Universe. Thanks to a scan from Idle Hands we get to see that his costume will be much different than previous interpretations of the character. While the over all color scheme is still the same they have made some significant changes to his costume. The most notable one being they have ditched the heavy parka for a cut off vest. One other really big change that seems to be happening is the lack of Captain Cold's freeze gun. It now looks as if DC is leaning to a super powered version of the character.



What are your thoughts, do you prefer the old Captain Cold or is the new version much more to your liking? What about the lack of freeze gun? Sound off your comments in the comment boxes below and be sure to check out Captain Cold's return in The Flash #7 due out March of this year.

It looks better to me by now, but I still prefer the classic Captain Cold over this. (Foremost on his power.)

I liked the Rogues the way they were. They were their own dysfunctional family with their own rules and squabbles. As long as they don't change the core of who the Rogues are, a little modification to the characters powers might work.

Wasn't this posted a few weeks ago? I've already seen some of those pics and this is the only comic related website I visit...
Anyway, the new look is kind of weird if you ask me. It seems to make very little sense, I mean why would an ice based character have no sleeves? Didn't he have a fur lined hood before as well? That seemed a lot better thematically for the character.
However, I do think the power may have been a smart move. I mean, with that old freeze gun, he was little more than a lite version of Mr Freeze. Now, he's at least a more individual character.

Not having sleeves kind of defeats the purpose of having a hoodie. If the purpose is to show off muscles, then why not a form-fitting long-sleeve shirt?

That is the stupidest name I've ever heard.

Would you prefer Colonel Cryonic? Lieutenant Low-Temp? Pharaoh Frigid?

Always hated the cold gun, but I think I hate the sleeveless look even more

You want to hear a stupid name? Blackagar Boltagon. How lazy and stoned were they to use that name?

I love Captain Cold, this look would be perfect if he had sleeves.

@loki668 - You can 'Mr.Terrific' to the list too.

Sleeveless is lame. Don't mind not having a freeze gun but would still like his powers to be technology based.

@headlopper

Yeah, I've always hated that name. Can you imagine introducing yourself to other heroes with that name? "Hi, I'm Mr. Terrific! STOP LAUGHING GODDAMMIT!!"

I like the old version better. The hooded vest looks ridiculous and unnecessary if he derives his power supernaturally. The previous representation had a parka because he was a normal human, indicating that he had to use his ingenuity to outwit the Flash. This is why I hate the "new" coke...ahem...the new DCnU 52.

Pretty cool, but like others have said, it would have looked better with sleeves if they wanted to keep the hood.

What about "Martian Manhunter"? The jokes just write themselves with that one!

Captain Cold is hardly a shitty villain. If you say he is you are ignorant

How about Venusian Villain-catcher.
Saturnian Soul-searcher?

You're right. They write themselves! LOL!

I'm still trying figure out of how powerful the Flash is, what serious threat does Captain Cold pose to him? Smh

it says that the character design is in progress so it may not be the final look

@Nomis its Grey Gargoyle, and at least Marvel doesnt have polka dot man, they have the Spot who is actually an interesting character

Not a huge fan, but looks kinda cool. The sleeveless look kinda contrasts the whole 'cold' aspect which is kinda cool.
