An Original X-Men Member is Officially Ascending to Godhood
Warning! Spoilers ahead for Marvel’s Voices: Iceman Infinity Comic #3!
One of the original five members of the X-Men, Bobby Drake aka Iceman, has risen to godlike power, courtesy of Loki.

Iceman's upgrade takes place in Marvel’s Voices: Iceman #3, the newest issue in an ongoing Infinity Comic for Marvel Unlimited from Luciano Vecchio, VC's Joe Sabino, and Sarah Brunstad.

Rather than letting Bobby get frozen in the layers of feelings he's experiencing about rekindled romance with his ex-boyfriend and complex grief over his father passing away, Iceman #3 transports Bobby to a dynamic team-up with Loki.
