Sub-Zero's page

Anders Erling grew up in relative comfort, the grandson of a Swiss banker who moved to Freedom City with his family in 1973. Grandpa Dag continued to raise the lad after Anders' parents died when he was 12. Dag made sure that Anders remained aware of his rich cultural heritage, although he did favor old tales of the Norse gods among these lessons.

While Anders began to study to follow in his grandfather's footsteps and take over the family banking empire, it was a more ancient ancestor's legacy he would truly inherit. Anders was of a godly bloodline, one of the few remaining ancestors of the Norse god Hodor and a Swedish woman whose name is lost to history.

When Hodor was tricked into killing Baldor, this woman tore her gown in half, swaddling her infant twins in the half-gowns and sending them each down a different fork of th river near her village, before throwing herself off a cliff in grief. She felt that her children would inherit their father's sin, shunned by everything that had sworn not to harm Baldor. As Hodor was, in turn, slain by his brother in vengeance, he had a vision of the children wrapped and floating down the river, and he imparted the torn gown with a fragment of his portfolio.

These artifacts have been found and lost several times in the centuries since those times. Only usable by a descendant of the original twins, the Mantle of Winter and the Mantle of Shadows remain powerful on the right shoulders.

Anders discovered the Mantle of Winter in a safety deposit box left to him as part of his inheritance on his 21st birthday. Anders felt the power within the garment by simply touching it.

Soon after, a hero began prowling the dark corners of Freedom City. Calling himself Sub-Zero, this young man is ready to make a splash on the hero scene.
