Doctor Who: The Ice Kings: 12th Doctor Audio Original

Product Information

Like most characters Ice King is ambidextrous. In " Mystery Dungeon," he is shown to be able to write with either hand in separate scenes. The Ice King's nose lengthened when he was near or wearing the crown, and shortened whenever he was far from it.

In " Adventure Time: Fionna & Cake", his appearance is Simon's but with gray hair and some wrinkles. His skin is still brown and he keeps his brown suit in addition to his glasses, but he is noticeably much older.The character was first voiced by John Kassir in the short film " Adventure Time", which introduced the character. In the short, the protagonists Pen the Human ( Zach Shada) and Jake the Dog ( John DiMaggio) fight Ice King to rescue Princess Bubblegum, whom he has kidnapped. He is voiced by Tom Kenny in the television series. Kenny said that he approached the character as "a very real psychopath" who did not fully understand why his actions were wrong. Simon Petrikov is a human male, with olive skin and dark brown hair. He prefers to wear a dark suit with a red bow tie and his trademark blue eyeglasses. Before his curse, Simon had dark eyes, similar to Finn's, but afterward, his eyes turned white and remained so to the present day.

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.When Professor Irene Hyde’s Monday morning lecture at St Luke’s University is rudely interrupted by a man named the Doctor, it’s the beginning of an adventure she could never have dreamt possible. 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." Doctor Who: The Romans. Cover by Tony Masero (c) BBC Audio The full schedule of 2023 releases so far 5th Jan 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." Simon is seen in Marceline's house, making popcorn and spending time with Marceline, Princess Bubblegum, Peppermint Butler, Ice Thing, and Turtle Princess. He is shown to be smiling, and enjoying the company of his friends.

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. Ricardio is the Ice King's heart; made sentient by magic. Though the power of the crown can keep him alive when Ricardio leaves his body, the Ice King is left extremely weak without a heart. The Ice King's crown bestowed upon him numerous powers in exchange for his sanity, most of which involved ice and snow. He can cast ice lightning to freeze or strike targets and can summon blizzards at will to cover the land in snow. He is also capable of creating various weapons or structures out of ice. He can also animate beings of ice and snow, like the Ice-o-pede and snowman soldiers. Ice King has a computer which he uses to play video games, as seen in " What is Life?" and to make rudimentary drawings of himself with princesses, as seen in " The Chamber of Frozen Blades." In " A Glitch is a Glitch," he uses his computer to create a virus to delete the entire universe, save him and Princess Bubblegum. However, he was stopped by Finn and Jake who saved the day through a reenactment of a disgusting video they watched at the beginning of the episode.Simon may have been a fan of the classic TV show Cheers, as he reenacted the iconic "Norm!" greeting in " Simon & Marcy" and even sang an abridged version of the theme song. In a retrospective review of the series, Eric Thurm of Vulture called the Ice King " Adventure Time’s Best Character" and opined that the character's appeal came from his complex flaws. He felt that Ice King embodied both intense struggles such as Alzheimer's and more mundane issues like social awkwardness, making him relatable to a wide audience. Simon soon became disassociated from his original identity to the point that his only reaction to watching a video of his past was an embarrassment at the idea of having once worn glasses. Further proof of his dissociation is shown in " What Have You Done?" when he responds to Jake's accusation of him stealing the crown with, "I didn't steal it. I made that item! Made it with the magic that I stole!" When others refer to him as "Simon" within earshot, he is generally confused or ignores it. However, some part of him subconsciously remained with Ice King as he always sought out Marceline due to their past relationship and found her each time she had a new home which led her to change locations every time until " I Remember You". Ice King is one of the bosses in Adventure Time: Explore the Dungeon Because I DON'T KNOW! Once you defeat him, you can play as him. 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…
