Snowflame is a supervillain appearing in comic books published by DC Comics. The character was created by Steve Englehart and Cary Bates to serve as a villain for the superhero team the New Guardians. He also appeared in the New 52 continuity as an enemy of Catwoman and Peacemaker.
Snowflame first appeared in the 1988 comic book New Guardians #2 in a story titled Jungle Snow. In it, he meets the New Guardians in Colombia as the leader of a drug cartel. In their first encounter he defeats the superhero team, but is later killed by them in a chemical shed explosion.[1] [2]
In Catwoman #23, Catwoman travels to South America where she meets Snowflame, whose real name is revealed to be Stefan. Snowflame reveals that he faked his death in the chemical shed explosion in order to take over the island of Isla Nevada. He then escorts Catwoman to his home where he is auctioning off expensive and dangerous artifacts to other supervillains.[3] [4] [5] In Catwoman #24, Catwoman sneaks into the jungle and meets Kisin, the island's mythical giant panther and god of death, before returning to do battle with Snowflame. She defeats him with the help of Kisin.[6]
Snowflame later returns in Peacemaker Tries Hard! #4, in which he fights against Peacemaker. He is defeated and seemingly killed after choking on a poison dart frog that Peacemaker snuck into his cocaine.[7]
Snowflame is capable of granting himself superhuman strength, speed, an immunity to pain, pyrokinesis, and the ability to give targets an instant contact high, all by inhaling cocaine.[8] [9] [10]
