This week: Icemaster!
He first appeared in an actual comic book story as a member of the Masters of Evil in Thunderbolts #24 (January 1999).
I have seen mentioned that this Masters of Evil team - which featured 25 members for the 25th issue - was part of a contest to see who could name the most villains on the team. I can't find any proof of that, but if it's true, Icemaster was likely added because he's so obscure.
Regardless, he has continued to pop up here and there, in books as diverse as Gambit, Avengers Academy, and X-Men: Legacy. Surprisingly, he's never fought Iceman, but you never know when - or where - someone will use him next!
