Geten

Geten (外典), dubbed Iceman (氷男) by Mr. Compress, is a Villain and was a member of the Meta Liberation Army. Later, the Liberation Army and League of Villains came together to form the Paranormal Liberation Front, and he becomes one of its nine lieutenants.

He currently serves as a leader for the "Vanguard Action Guerilla Warfare Regiment: Violet" along with Dabi.

Appearance
Under his hood, Geten appears to possess pale, messy hair of varying lengths and light-colored eyes that are framed by a set of long eyelashes that are somewhat the same color of his hair. His eyes apparently glow even when the rest of his face is hidden in shadow.

Geten is clad in a thick, dark-colored that reaches down below his knees, done up in the center with seven white buttons, with a fur-lined hood that covers his face from view. He also sports black baggy pants and a pair of lace-up winter boots.

Personality
Geten is a loyal warrior of the Liberation Army and is a devout believer in its principles. He feels greatly indebted and thankful to Re-Destro for granting him more power and desires to create a world where the strongest superpowers stand at the top of the hierarchy.

Geten has been shown to become greatly angered whenever anyone gets in Re-Destro's way, yelling out to the "dogs of the state" who face him in the Paranormal Liberation Raid that they won't die painless deaths for interrupting his leader's plans.

The ice villain is very proud of his Meta Ability and claims he has been honing it for years. He is not focused on becoming a hero and never attended school; instead, he's lived his life by constantly training his abilities under the belief that one's greatest worth is the strength of their power.

History
In his youth, Geten didn't attend school and instead focused his efforts on strengthening his power to control ice by himself and became a skilled user. Re-Destro helped Geten hone his Meta Ability. One time, when the Grand Commander was burned, Geten's ability evolved and suddenly allowed him to control the temperature of ice.

In anticipation of the coming conflict against the League of Villains, Re-Destro assigned Geten to deal with the League's most troublesome Meta Ability, Dabi's long-ranged flames. Re-Destro claims Geten is the keystone of the entire Army and entrusts him to protect their cause.

Meta Liberation Army Arc
Just prior to Re-Destro declaring war on the League of Villains, Geten attends a meeting along with the top brass of the organization. They manage to capture Giran and use him as bait to lead the League of Villains into Deika City.

Geten is tasked with dealing with the League's only wide-range fighter, Dabi. He conceals his presence and tries to crush Dabi with a pair of giant ice gauntlets. The wielder of blue flames is able to evade the attack and appears unimpressed by his opponent's ice. The hooded warrior asks Dabi why he didn't release his flames at the start of the war, suggesting something is wrong with his Meta Ability.

Dabi soon counters with a flame attack that melts Geten's ice. The ice warrior propels himself into the air and collects all the ice in the area to form a giant floating mass of ice. He tells Dabi that he has spent his entire life honing his Quirk, and Dabi's flames cannot even melt them at all. The elements collide, splitting the battlefield.

Dabi's flames prove extremely hot and melt away the giant mass of ice. However, Geten uses what's left to freeze the water around them to create more weapons. Dozens of Twice clones flood the area and the ice warrior counter attacks with a massive ice wave that erupts from the underground water lines, devastating numerous city blocks and singlehandedly eliminating the army Twice had created.

Geten claims that in a liberated future, social status will be determined by the strength of someone's Meta Ability. Dabi is annoyed by the statement and tells his opponent to just die already. The ice warrior claims it will be Dabi who dies on this day because he's figured out a weakness - Dabi's flames burn himself if he uses them for prolonged periods of time.

Geten and Dabi's battle continues, and both of them become worn out from the fight. Suddenly, a giant monster invades Deika City, seemingly to aid the League of Villains. Skeptic warns Re-Destro of its appearance but this doesn't stop Geten's concern. Worried for the supreme commander, Geten abandons his bout with Dabi and tries to overwhelm the monster with ice, only to be effortlessly slapped aside by the beast.

Later, after Re-Destro and Tomura's fight is over, Geten is seen standing on stage with the other newly-appointed lieutenants of the League of Villains and Meta Liberation Army's united force, the Paranormal Liberation Front, as Re-Destro announces this new alliance to the rest of the old Army.

Paranormal Liberation War Arc
During the Paranormal Liberation Raid, Geten is stationed at the Gunga Mountain Villa. He runs to to defend the villa from the heroes's storm.

The heroes quickly take the initiative, defeating many members of the Paranormal Liberation Front who try to stop them. Geten uses his powers to create a massive ice wall in an attempt to disrupt the Heroes' siege, blowing away Mt. Lady while she is in her giant form in the process, and declaring he won't let them interfere with Re-Destro anymore.

Geten reorganizes the defence forces of the villa, yelling to his allies that he has disrupted the heroes' siege and that they want them to rush into a fight, so they need to create an opening and focus on a single objective. However, Mt. Lady immediately retaliates against the ice warrior's attack using a barrage of fists to smash her way through the large chunks of ice.

Abilities
Overall Abilities: Re-Destro regards Geten as a valuable asset to the Meta Liberation Army. The ice warrior claims to have spent his entire life mastering his Meta Ability, demonstrating this by creating various sophisticated ice constructions as well as using his ice to launch or lift himself through the air in order to outmaneuver his opponents. Dabi, who is a powerful villain in his own right, was able to tell at a glance that Geten is a strong opponent. He was also able to catch Dabi off guard and completely hide his presence on the battlefield. However, Geten was no match for the behemoth Gigantomachia who swatted him away with little effort.

High Tactical Intellect: Geten is very well versed in tactical warfare and comes to every fight with a solid strategy. When tasked with dealing with Dabi's flames, Geten was accurately able to deduce that Dabi's own flames weakened his body. Additionally, during the siege on the Mountain Villa, Geten actively ordered members of the faction in a strategy to counteract the heroes' assault.

Meta Ability
Unnamed Ice Manipulation Quirk: Geten's Meta Ability allows him to freely manipulate any and all nearby ice. The range of this power extends to roughly the size of a whole town. He cannot create any ice himself, however, he is able to alter the temperature of the ice he controls, thus allowing him to freeze any water in his radius of control.

This Meta Ability has been shown to be incredibly versatile when used well, as Geten can freely gather, move, attack with and defend with the ice he manipulates, and the only known drawback to this ability is that it is limited by how much water/ice is in the vicinity, leaving him at a disadvantage in terrains with less of these substances.
