The Snowman is a recurring character and enemy of Danger Mouse and Colonel K. He's typically considered a joke villain and almost no one takes him seriously.
Physical Appearance[]
He's a walking talking snowman, as such he's almost entirely made of snow. His right arm is the typical stick used for snowmen while his left arm is completely made of ice. His attire is akin to that of a typical snowman, with a scarf, seemingly old hat, carrot nose (which can double as a rocket), pebbles for eyes and stick eyebrows.
Biography[]
Just exactly how The Snowman came to become alive is unknown, it has never been touched upon or mentioned in the series. As his first appearance was a prisoner in Arkwright Asylum for the Criminally Challenged, meaning he was already caught either before the series start or off-screen. Though it is implied in The Return of Danger K and later confirmed in "Danger Fan" that he's been around since Colonel K prime years as a field agent and perhaps even longer. Though he seems to have fought Danger Mouse at least once before his debut as he was considered one of Danger Mouse’s worst foes in Mousefall.
His first debut as an individual villain came in 'The Snowman Cometh' as he tried to prove himself to be a threat to the general public only to be laughed at. The only reason Danger Mouse bothered to arrest him was to, in his own words, "put him out of his misery". After rather easily getting arrested, he swore to prove himself as a villain only to then melt in the Danger Car as it had heated seats. Soon afterwards he reformed himself and sent a doll to Santa, warning him that this Christmas would be his last. He then manages to sneak into Santa's workshop and steal Santa's magic hat (and temporarily kidnapped Santa before using him to get Danger Mouse off his trail.) allowing him to allow him to wreak havoc and bring other snowmen to life.
The Snowman enjoying his small taste of victory
Delighted to have won, he soon relished in his victory with his snow brothers and sisters. Though he was cut short when Danger Mouse, Penfold, and an army of elves. Out of fear of being bested he ate Santa's hat, which no one was sure what this would do. It turned him into a giant snowzilla, he then used his new-found abilities to lock Danger Mouse, Penfold, and the head elf in a semi truck trailer and left them on top of a very tall building. They soon escaped and with the help of Squawkencluck and Santa they managed to overpower and melt the Snowman (by dragging him across the sun) and retrieve the hat. Though it was shown that he survived and later returned in "Danger Fan" but was handled rather easily and soon placed in captivity with the help of Danger Mouse salt cannons.
The Snowman in captivity
He soon returned in "No More Mr Ice Guy" as he tried again to menace society only to fail miserably. Wishing he'd be feared, he soon witnessed Danger Mouse armed with a mech arrest Stiletto Mafiosa and Pandaminion. This then gave him the idea of gaining his own mech suit which he does (though how and where he got one is never revealed). He soon storms his way into H.Q. and asks to become a Danger agent as he was tired of losing. He is hired on the spot by Colonel K, simply because he made good snow cones. He was then placed as a replacement for Penfold, seeing as he was way more powerful than the fearful hamster. He and Danger Mouse soon set out to stop Isambard King Kong Brunel's latest scheme. He used his freeze ray to instantly freeze Brunel, stopping him before he could cause any comeuppance. Impressed with his skills, Danger Mouse gleefully asked for The Snowman to tell him more about his powers and fully accepted him as an agent. After freezing all of Danger Mouse’s rogue gallery, The Snowman lavished in his new-found winning streak.
Danger Mouse's visible disgust at The Snowmans betrayal
He then witnessed a volcano sprout out of the ocean, confused he asked Danger Mouse who he thought could be behind it, to which he seemed just as confused. After attempting to clog the volcano Danger Mouse concluded that the best option would be to override The Snowman's mech to freeze the volcano from the inside. But seeing as the mech was manual, the process would kill both The Snowman and Danger Mouse. Unwilling to die for the agency, The Snowman tried to freeze Danger Mouse, so he could leave. Disgusted at The Snowman's cowardliness, the two fought and The Snowman was eventually overpowered thanks to the Mark 4's thermostat. After Danger Mouse dealt with the volcano and froze it from the inside, both he and The Snowman were saved by Penfold. After Penfold and Danger Mouse reconciled, he tried to win their favour, to which they responded with by beating him into submission. He was then presumably discharged.
Personality[]
His attacks usually end with hugs
The Snowman is a soft-spoken, insecure, cowardly, yet determined snowman. Out to prove himself a threat to be dealt with, he can initially (and regularly does) come off as pathetic and worthless though he has proven himself to be a deadly threat when properly provoked. Despite branding himself a villain, he's not all the malicious in nature and was willing to switch sides and work with Danger Mouse and the Secret Service if it meant he could have a taste of superiority by winning, as all he really longs for is some sort of sense of victory. He more or less seems indifferent to the good v.s. evil war and only really chooses to be evil because he's too cowardly to be a real hero. He also seems to think less of anyone who isn't a snowman, as he usually refers to others as warm skins.
Whenever he goes on a rampage he usually does it to prove that he can be a menace to society, though this usually fails, and he ends up inadvertently making people like him more. As Penfold put it, he's a bad bad guy. He was so pathetic that Danger Mouse doesn't even bother to arrest him half the time. This of course doesn't stop The Snowman from trying his hardest to stop others from considering him a c-list villain.
