Synopsis for "Iced"
At the Sastrugga company in San Francisco, scientists start up an experimental ice-fusion reactor. Immediately, a woman made of sentient freon gas bursts out of the reactor. She is Jean Thaw a.k.a Cryo-Genie, the designer of the ice-fusion process who supposedly died in an accident. She accuses the lead scientist of engineering the accident in order to steal her research. Security personnel arrive, but she overpowers them by attacking them with “ice-borg” drones. She kills the lead scientist and retrieves the process data, stored on disk, from the main drive. Just then, the masked vigilante Jet arrives and snatches the disk from her hand. Using superhuman speed, Jet defeats the ice-borgs and lures Cryo-Genie into venting hot gases, destroying her. Later, the police arrive and find the disk taped to the wall.
