Helena Frost is the Ice powered mutant leader of Entropy Incorporated. Helena formed this group in 2007 after an accident at The Portal Corporation stranded her in this dimension (Freedom Server). Originally, Helena existed in a parallel dimension (Triumph Server) as Icicle and was a member of Stephanie Alston's (Plasmal) Entropy Group which, at the time, were commissioned to provide security for The Portal Corporation's main facility on Peregrine Island while they conducted a series of secret trans-dimensional experiments. Plasmal discovered one of her teammates was actually a Crey undercover agent. Once aware of his discovery, the traitorous Nova White escaped through one of the experimental portals followed closely by Icicle. The chase led through several dimensions when, finally, in an effort to elude Icicle, Nova White detonated a portal just before she entered, destroying the entire facility and effectively trapping her in the dimension she currently reside. Being a former employee with knowledge of portal technology, Icicle does all she can to help rebuild and possibly find her way back to home dimension. In the years that passed, Icicle has accepted the fact that she may never return and decided to form Entropy Incorporated and go by the name: Helena Frost...

Origin

Early Years

Helena Frost was born Alessandra Helena Frosinone in Frosinone, Italy. Her mother, Allegra, owned a small gelato cafe and her father, an African-American named Christian, was a frequent customer. After some time the two fell in love but did not marry. Christian revealed that he is actually a covert operative (working with Crimson and Indigo) on assignment to infiltrate The Malta Group. Knowing that he should not have revealed that information endangering her life and his operation, Christian and Allegra spent one last night together and then he was gone. Allegra was pregnant with Helena and when she was older, she was never told about her father.

Education

With the exception of not knowing her father, Helena had a normal childhood. She went through Elementary, Grade School, and High School with a strong interest in Science and Technology. Helena attended Emory University in the US in Atlanta, Georgia. It was then she noticed an acute sensitivity to temperature. The brutal summer climate in the southeast region of the US triggered her abilities, but only on a small scale. She would use her powers to cool herself when it got hot but was more comfortable as the temperature lowered. Helena then went to MIT in Cambridge, Massachusetts. It was there her interest in Portal technology was born, also where she found out about G.I.F.T. in Paragon City, Rhode Island. After MIT, Helena got a job at The Portal Corporation in Paragon City's Peregrine Island facility and at the same time, she secretly studied and trained at G.I.F.T. to develop her powers. Soon after, she met Stephanie Alston (Plasmal)

Training

G.I.F.T. had helped Helena to a certain extent. She was trained to focus and use her powers aggressively and periodically given missions to take out low-level Hellions and Trolls. It would be Plasmal that gives her the confidence she needs to fully understand her powers. They would train rigorously in the Entropy Group's training room. Helena was already an excellent martial artist, but Plasmal showed her how to combine her fighting with her powers. Plasmal also showed Helena how to use a variety of firearms like the Walther PPK, SIG Sauer P239, FN P90 and the Dragunov SVD. There were also weapons training including: Long and short staff, swords (all types and techniques) and knives (throwing and held). Training also included psychology and how to deal with the Megalomania and Depravity often found in Super-powered villains. Lastly, Helena was trained to resist some basic Psychic attacks and probes. Although every member of The Entropy Group received the same training, Plasmal had a special connection to Helena - partly because her powers did not manifest under duress and that she was otherwise mentally "balanced". Plasmal excluded Helena from all missions until she thought Helena was ready.

Profession

Aside from her training, Helena is also an important member of her R&D team at Portal. Directed by Dr. Tina Macintyre, her team is responsible for a number of discoveries including the Recluse's Victory destination or RV. Her team monitors activity in the Shadow Shard to detect dimensional breeches often caused by Crey Industries and Nemesis. Helena has also worked on portal stabilization and Molecular Transfer enhancements to improve portal travel. Helena has been nominated several times to be Department Director but declined citing that she like to be close to her "work".

Triumph

Eventually, Helena worked missions closely watched by Plasmal and was given the name Icicle. Plasmal's agenda included The Council and Crey Industries but The Entropy Group found themselves fighting Devouring Earth and The Malta Group and even The Rikti. Icicle exceeded all of Plasmal's expectations but always declined to lead in situations that require the group to split into teams. Plasmal noticed that despite all of her extraordinary abilities and intelligence, she still has confidence issues. Icicle confided in Plasmal that she has issues about not knowing who her father is and that it's something she has repressed for some time. Regardless, Icicle proved to be a powerful hero who specialized in infiltration and reconnaissance. She did exceptionally well when she worked alone. Icicle often teamed up with Plasmal's protege, Phoenix Blaze, the Energy-Powered Xyce, the Kheldian Lyrae, the Mysterious Nova White and the Invulnerable Giago all the way up to her last mission in this dimension.

Icicle, along with her teammates were enlisted by The Portal Corporation as "Special" guards. They were all subjected to the hazards of Multidimensional traversal and was trained on how to function and survive in the adverse and bizarre environments some dimensions posess. Unfortunately, it was revealed that Nova White was in fact a Crey agent sent to spy on Plasmal and her Entropy Group. Upon becoming a Portal Agent he relayed plans to Countess Crey and she ordered small Crey Cells to inhabit each dimension. Before those orders were carried, Plasmal discovered his treachery and he was chased across countless dimensions. Icicle cornered him in Epsilon Mu Tau 98-18 (Freedom Server) but he escaped and obliterated that dimensions' Portal Building and everyone inside. Icicle survived but realized that it would take a considerable amount of time to find her native dimension considering the facilities would have to be rebuilt and the coordinates would have to be found and programmed so just accepted the the fact that she may not be able to return.

Freedom

Icicle quickly adapted to the parallel dimension and it's Heroes and Villains. She also discovered that there was another heroine with the same name. Assuming it was her dimensional "double", Icicle confronted the other and found no similarities. She decided to shorten her last name "Frosinone" to "Frost" to indicate her ability and use her middle name as her first. Helena Frost did not seek any type of fame and while she was not popular publicly, she well known and respected in the Hero community. She often team with some of the most powerful and prestigious heroes in Paragon but did not really belong to any established Supergroup.

Eventually, Helena joined special and secret organizations like Vanguard in which she was recruited personally by The Lady Grey to assist in stopping the Rikti threat. She has also been invited into The Midnighter's Club where she gained insight into the grand scheme of the power struggle in Paragon City and Helena has been entrusted with the secret of the Menders in Ouroboros to correct timeline anomalies. In this dimension, Helena has done more in months than she has ever achieved in the dimension she previously inhabited.

Entropy Incorporated

Helena began working together with a handful of heroes who, like herself, were without any affiliation. She decided to form a group and enlisted her close friends, Jerhonda: a Tanker from Georgia, Calandra: a Fire Kineticist from Wisconsin and Sunny, who can project fire and heat at range. Sunny (SunDrift) quit her current group to assist Helena with forming what she calls "Entropy Incorporated" (a homage to Plasmal's Entropy Group). Even though Helena is the founder and leader, she still relies on her teammates for guidance and advice. Helena and Sunny carefully recruited other members. Helena used techniques she learned in her training with Plasmal to screen candidates for consideration. Sunny is more aggressive and hard-nosed in her process weeding out the "weaker" heroes and favoring those who can use their abilities with ease and confidence. Helena and Sunny often fought over their different methods of recruiting but always resolved the issue with compromise. Today, Entropy has about 40 members with different abilities, from several nationalities, cultures and planets. Against the wishes of Helena, Sunny designs a series of uniforms for all Entropy members to wear. Helena concedes to wear the outfits on two conditions: one being her outfit is all-white and two, the outfits are optional. Sunny did not like the second option but added: If there are two or more members sharing the same mission, then they will wear the team uniform.

Their operations base is in Founders Falls near Talos Island.
