Caitlin Snow (died April 2389), better known as Killer Frost, was a female meta-human from Earth Two with the ability to unleash frozen air from her hands. She was also the wife of the late Ronnie Raymond. She was formerly an ally of Zoom and a former reluctant ally of Team Flash.
Biography[]
Caitlin once had a brother named Charlie, who died leaving her mother "cold". Soon she went to medical school, but rarely studied and flunked out and had to move back into with her mother. At one point in her life, Caitlin met and married Ronnie Raymond. Around 2379, Caitlin and Ronnie were affected by Harrison Wells' S.T.A.R. Labs particle accelerator, giving her cryokinetic abilities and him pyrokinetic abilities. Since then, Caitlin cut off all ties to her past life and began calling herself "Killer Frost" and refused to use her real name. Even so much as hearing it made her angry.
The arrival of Earth One Flash[]
Caitlin and Ronnie kiss
After Francisco/Reverb vibed that his doppelgänger, along with other Earth One residents, had arrived on Earth Two, Caitlin and Ronnie searched for them. The two went to Jitterbugs and asked everyone which one of them were in the wrong universe. When Barry called her Caitlin, she told him she no longer went by that name. Caitlin then fired icicles toward Barry, who used a table as a shield. After Ronnie critically injures Joseph West, Caitlin and Ronnie were brought outside while Iris was distracted. After failing to kill Barry, Caitlin told her husband to do the job. The Flash used a helmet from a statue of Jay Garrick to redirect fire hurled by Ronnie toward Caitlin and badly injured her, and she was taken away and tended to by Ronnie.
Killer Frost and Deathstorm confront Iris, Lawton and Vibe
Later, Caitlin and Ronnie were approached by Iris, Floyd Lawton, and Cisco Ramon/Vibe, Reverb's doppelgänger, though she and Ronnie made the three stand their weapons down. When Reverb tried to get Vibe to join him, the Flash intervened. The Flash was eventually overpowered by both Reverb and Ronnie but Caitlin warned them that Zoom told them to make sure the Flash was left unharmed. Zoom arrived and killed Ronnie and Reverb, much to Killer Frost's horror. She was approached by Zoom but was told the latter was happy one of them knew their place. After Zoom sped off, Caitlin ran toward her husband's body but soon ran away in grief.
Caitlin is held at gunpoint by Cisco
After Ronnie's death Caitlin fled into the woods to mourn but was soon approached by Iris, Harry, Cisco/Vibe, and Earth Two Barry, demanding to know where Zoom was but she refused to tell him. Instead Caitlin tried to kill them and bring them to Zoom but Cisco eventually held her at gunpoint and Caitlin surrendered. However she still refused to tell them where Zoom was and Cisco tried to reason with her, telling Caitlin of her Earth One counterpart and how distraught she was when her Ronnie died too. Upon hearing this Caitlin was convinced to aid them and took them to Zoom's lair.
Caitlin attacks Zoom
Though Caitlin freed Jesse she was unable to free Earth One Barry since she wasn't able to penetrate the carbine glass, but Barry eventually managed to phase his way out on his own. However Caitlin has secretly called Zoom and he showed up as soon as Earth One Barry escaped. However when Zoom told them all that though he couldn't kill Earth One Barry or Harry he could kill everyone else, and started with Jesse. However before Zoom could kill her, Caitlin turned on Zoom and blasted him with her ice powers, and held him down long enough for everyone else to escape. Caitlin was then imprisoned in Barry's carbine cell as Zoom had affection for her Earth One double, and kept Caitlin Two as a reminder of her.
Death[]
Zoom kills Caitlin
After Caitlin's betrayal, she was in the cell for months, annoyed by her inmate in the iron mask but wasn't sure why she was even still alive. It wasn't until Zoom came with her doppelgänger when she realized she was spared because she is the Earth Two version of the woman he loves, and plotted her escape. However she always intended on killing Caitlin as Zoom wouldn't need Killer Frost anymore. When seen by Caitlin One, Caitlin Two introduced herself, and so did Caitlin One. She compromised that if Caitlin One freed her, she will lead her to her Earth. While working, both Caitlin's talked of their very different lives, but found common ground in their shared dislike for their mothers. Caitlin did eventually find a way to weaken the carbine, now able for her to escape. Although Caitlin One had helped her escape, Caitlin Two tried to kill her anyway. As Caitlin Two was about kill her doppleganger with her icicle projectile, Zoom intervened by taking the icicle shot out from Caitlin Two mid-air, and brutally stabbed her in the stomach, telling her he doesn't need her anymore, leaving her there to bleed to death.
She is finally avenged when Caitlin became Killer Frost kills Hunter became Black Flash when he tried to kill Savitar.
Possible future[]
In a possible future, Caitlin used her powers whilst wearing a different, more revealing Killer Frost suit. Barry caught a glimpse of this while traveling through the Speed Force.
Legacy[]
In order to keep Black Siren occupied, both Caitlin and Cisco dressed up as their Earth Two doppelgangers, Killer Frost and Reverb to convince her to join them. Its supposedly worked until Black Siren saw through their ruse.
Later after the dissolving of the Flashpoint timeline, Caitlin started gaining the same powers as her doppelganger and a split personality. It made her worry she'd up up just like her and based on Cisco's future vibe and the info from Alchemy's acolytes, it may as well be inevitable.
Earth Two Caitlin was finally avenged when Earth One Caitlin killed Hunter Zolomon when he tried to kill Savitar.
Personality[]
Unlike her Earth-1 counterpart, who is compassionate and loving, Caitlin was cold, cruel, sadistic, ruthless, arrogant, and immoral. She eagerly murdered innocent people and terrorized Central City as Zoom's enforcer without a shred of remorse. Caitlin had a dry, mocking, and sadistic sense of humor, which she often expressed against her targets, willing to play mind games with her victims and make conversation before hurting/killing them.
The only person Caitlin truly cared for was her husband, Ronnie Raymond; the two were deeply in love and always protected each other. Apropos, Caitlin had a fairly uninhibited personality, being public with her affections for Ronnie, even expressing how she gets turned on when witnessing him in battle. Caitlin seems to be slightly vain as well, taking great pride in her looks and wearing form-fitting clothing to show off her figure; she also teased her Earth-1 doppelgänger over the latter's more modest clothing.
Caitlin's attitude and criminal nature is implied to have partially stemmed from her difficult past, with the death of her brother and subsequent estrangement from her mother. This was reflected in how Caitlin only refers to herself as Killer Frost, hating even the sound of her real name.
Underneath her arrogance, Caitlin was openly terrified of Zoom; unlike Ronnie and Francisco Ramon, she knew better than to disobey his orders, knowing the evil speedster would kill her for trying to harm the Flash.
After Zoom murdered Ronnie, Caitlin was devastated and heartbroken, desiring revenge on Zoom. She was willing to briefly ally with Team Flash to help free the Flash and Jesse Wells, the speedster's prisoners, regardless of the potential risks. Caitlin was also seemingly empathetic upon learning her Earth-1 doppelgänger also lost her Ronnie. However, her desire for revenge soon grew beyond reason; Caitlin tried to murder her doppelgänger, who Zoom loved, in an attempt to inflict the same pain on the speedster despite the fact that Earth-1 Caitlin helped the former escape from her cell.
