Been thinking about Mr. Freeze and how he's absolutely a working class hero: He worked for a company that cut research funding for a cure for a rare and severe disease, he took out his boss, then used the resources he obtained to look for the cure himself, with no profit motive.

Also, he's a disabled hero: He requires his cryo-suit to stay alive, something he and other characters mention repeatedly. He needs temperature control or he dies, hence the assistive technology (his helmet + suit).

He even mentions how the suit restricts him as much as it gives him freedom; He needs it and he can function with it, but he doesn't always like it and he misses his previous level of ability, something a lot of disabled people can relate to.

And also, Mr. Freeze is a genuinely good human being who did what he did for the sake of his wife (in need of the cure/treatment) as well as for anyone else who has the disease in question who would benefit from his takeover of the biomedical company and resources.

I'm talking mostly about BTAS in this thread but I've seen the new Freeze episode in the Harley Quinn series and no spoilers but yes I cried extremely hard and I still love him and will forever
