About this deal

Originally depicted as an evil but incompetent wizard obsessed with kidnapping princesses, he was depicted in later seasons as a lonely man driven insane by a magical crown which grants him ice powers. The show's third season reveals that he was once an ordinary human named Simon Petrikov before falling under the influence of the crown. He regains his memory after being stripped of his powers in the series finale " Come Along with Me." The trio find themselves in an impossible conflict between Ice Warriors… and Victorian soldiers. As the Martian hive awakens around them, the Doctor faces a unique dilemma - this time the humans, not the Ice Warriors are the invaders. When Earth is invading Mars, whose side is he on? This article was nominated in the 2021 Who Would Win Tournament. They only made it to the third round, and the tournament is now concluded.

He appeared in two Hole in the Wall bumpers in which he is a contestant. He tries to freeze the wall, or runs away due to the fact that he cannot not fit in either one of the holes. Simon is known for his intelligence, kindness, and self-sacrifice. From the information given in " Holly Jolly Secrets Part II," Simon was a deeply committed and loving fiancé (to Betty). He proved to be the same way as a watchful guardian over young Marceline during the aftermath of the Mushroom War. Even when they were in great danger, Simon struggled to keep Marceline happy and helped her to always see the best of their situation. He took on a very responsible role in Marceline's life, by not only protecting her and keeping her healthy but also by teaching her right from wrong and keeping her spirits high (as seen in " Simon & Marcy"). Simon, as a rule, is known for being optimistic even at the worst of times and it is clearly one of Simon's most notable attributes. Even while being saddled with a great burden, Simon fought an apocalyptic world while fighting the omnipotent influence of the Ice Crown. Some of Simon's innermost thoughts and fears of his inevitable madness were revealed in messages left to Marceline revealed in "I Remember You." Simon agonized over abandoning Marceline in a dangerous world due to his deteriorating sanity. However, Simon, nearing the very end of his humanity feared for his own life, worried that as the crown took him from Marceline, no one would be able to "save him." His vulnerability as a human was most evident just before he permanently became the Ice King. In " Come Along With Me" his optimism and courage is shown when he comforts Finn wisely telling him that no one gets to chose how they "go out" or die and at least they were together before being rescued. Sometime before the Mushroom War, Ice King was a normal, olive-skinned, dark-haired human named Simon Petrikov who was studying to be an antiquarian (a specialist in the knowledge of ancient artifacts). He was also a Professor of Archeology, and gained a PhD in an unknown subject. At one point, he went on an expedition to try the Armor of Zeldron, the Wand of Dispersement or the creepy porcelain lamb. He did not succeed, but still believed that these artifacts existed, and shortly after had a presentation about his expedition, where he expressed desire to search for The Enchiridion. He was ridiculed by others for his belief in magical objects.Sadly, for Whovians, two episodes of this six-part adventure are missing, destroyed by the BBC in the Seventies. The audio, thankfully, still exists, and the DVD edition includes beautifully-animated versions of these missing eps. He also has a power called Wizard Eyes, which makes him see strange things and puts him at risk, and he is not fully conscious while he uses this power. In "Beyond this Earthly Realm," it is revealed that his Wizard Eyes allowed him to see into the Spirit World, explaining that the freaky creatures surrounding him were spirits like Finn when he is transported to the Spirit World. In " The Empress Eyes," he seemed to possess immunity to the Empress's hypnotic abilities. The Ice King was shown to be able to take people to his " Imagination Zone" where he was able to create illusions. He uses this power to try to convince Neptr to join him with the promise of princesses. [3]

Today, one Doctor Who’s most iconic and fearsome aliens celebrate fifty years since their first appearance on the show. The Ice King's nose lengthened when he was near or wearing the crown, and shortened whenever he was far from it.

Select a format:

Ice King was rarely seen without his crown; without it he is powerless, and he is revealed to be balding with a tuft of white hair atop his head. The only times he has been seen in shoes was when he was working out before Slime Princess came to talk to him in " Loyalty to the King" and while playing basketball in " Simon and Marcy." Ice king had no visible ears when his beard/hair was removed in "Loyalty to the King" and "Mystery Dungeon." Despite the publisher's summary stating that the Doctor has travelled from the 21st century, the story itself dates it to the 20th century, specifically autumn 1994. Simon appears again in " Obsidian", set an unspecified amount of time after "Come Along With Me". He is seen in Dirt Beer Guy's Tavern singing "I Remember You" and later takes Glassboy to Marceline's house. He is later seen dressed in the Ice King's old robe wearing Gunther slippers and a toy crown playing in Marceline's freezer claiming that it is his way of coping with the trauma from years of being the Ice King after Glassassins break in. After the battle with Larvo he arrives wanting to help alongside some Banana Guards, Finn, and Bronwyn. He is then shown to be dancing with a Glass Person after the Glass Kingdom is saved.

The planet Peladon is hoping to join the Galactic Federation. But King Peladon's Chancellor has been murdered and it seems that the legendary royal beast, Aggedor, is to blame. Like most characters Ice King is ambidextrous. In " Mystery Dungeon," he is shown to be able to write with either hand in separate scenes. He could sense when someone is tampering with the snow and/or ice around the Ice Kingdom. [2] However, it is not known if he can use this ability with snow outside of the Ice Kingdom.With tempers flaring and a cargo of nuclear weapons on board, it’s not just the crew but the whole of humanity at stake! Since then, the Martians have made a number of memorable appearances, sometimes the star of their story, and sometimes part of the supporting cast. Due to the insanity brought by wearing the crown, Ice King seems to have limited memory. This was first seen in "I Remember You," where he does not seem to remember his past as Simon Petrikov, even though he saw the history (after he found the crown) in " Holly Jolly Secrets Part II." Later on, he does not remember who Neptr is, even though he was the one that wanted Neptr to accept as his father in Neptr's debut, " What is Life?" and even confuses him with BMO, as seen in the events of " Mystery Dungeon." This article was nominated in the 2021 Golden Stake Awards. It was nominated for the following category: Best Voice Actor (male) Both were previously friends with one of the protagonists (Simon and Marceline, Steven and WordGirl).

Later on, the friends of Finn and Jake sing the " Time Adventure" song, allowing Simon and Finn escape from inside GOLB, although Betty decides to stay behind as a sacrifice and use the Ice crown (which was restored to its essential form, granting its wearer their deepest, truest wish) to wish GOLB out of existence. When this doesn't work, she wishes instead that Simon is protected at all costs. As a result, Betty is fused with GOLB and the two become one singular entity. Devastated at Betty's decision, Simon cries out for her as the new GOLB leaves the planet through another portal, and is comforted by Marceline. Before the portal closes, the Ice Crown falls to the ground. Gunter decides to wear it, fuses with it and is transformed into Ice Thing after wishing to be Ice King. The Second Doctor finds it’s being run by the Ice Warriors, who are preparing the Earth for invasion by sending Martian seeds pods to the planet’s surface – the seeds emit a fungus that is lethal to humans… The Ice King also had the Demonic Wishing Eye and the Ghost pouch. The Demonic Wishing Eye's powers were shown in " Reign of Gunters" when Gunther used it to (temporarily) conquer Ooo.In later episodes, due to no longer acting as the main antagonist, he is portrayed as more easy-going and having a sense of humor, particularly due to Ice King considering Finn and Jake his "friends" after the events of " What Have You Done?" He could withstand high temperatures (possibly due to his own low body temperature), as seen when he stayed in the Fire Kingdom without a heat suit or flame shield. The fourth-season episode " I Remember You", which focuses on the Ice King's relationship with Marceline, is considered a turning point in the show's portrayal of Ice King. Charlie Jane Anders of io9 called the episode "one of the most intense things I've seen in ages". Dan Persons of Tor.com ranked it #3 on his list of "Ten Heartbreakingly Brilliant Works of Animation." The episode " Simon & Marcy" also received praise, and was nominated for a Primetime Emmy at the 65th Primetime Emmy Awards. Both episodes were included on Geek.com's list of the show's best 10 episodes. Simon Petrikov, formerly known as the Ice King, is a major character in Adventure Time and a protagonist of its spin-off series Adventure Time: Fionna & Cake.
