When everyone Absolute Zero knows dies, what then?

We all know that the Freedom Five are Absolute Zero's family. They're all true companions. But none of them are immortal. None of them, that is, except for Absolute Zero. So when Absolute Zero's family dies, what then? My theory, he finally takes off the suit. The job is done, the world has been saved several times over. They retired (well, in the miststorm universe the freedom five don't retire. Because they likely won't survive the unravveling of that universe.). They did what they had to. And now it was their time. And Absolute Zero, it's his time too.


His name is Sephiroth but his friends call him Sephie.

Well, when you are immortal you get used to see other as fireworks.

But it's the same with every death : Life goes on.

People die everyday, but other people are born too.

 

When you are mortal, you see your elder die, then as you grow older, you see the next generations inherating of your world.

But when you are immortal, you see older people dying, your friend getting older and dying too, their child getting older and dying too ... and so on. Some immortals can't take it and usually find a remote location to live without dealing with it. Otherwise, if the immortals manage to find a way to cope with it, he can live his eternal life more or less normally.

Mr Frost is unusual by the fact he need a suit to live, he can't blend easily in the human society. And he is too young to already having to deal with the 'immortal crisis' (usually happens between 50 to 60 yo). So ... No sure how his armor will be a help or a hindrance to pass this stage. Time wil tell ... :)

Being with the Sentinels of Freedom will help.  Sure, the former F5 will eventually die off, but there will be new teams with new heroes who he'll help mentor.

I don't think it would ever come to this, though.  Remember how Felicity is the first Legacy to become a full-fledged hero while the previous Parsons was still alive?  That holds true for other superheroes as well.  AZ is at least as likely to die by violence as any of them.  He may be immortal, but he's also incredibly fragile.  His suit breaks all the damn time.  The chances of him still being alive when everyone he cares about is dead are pretty slim.

I don't think he'd outright commit suicide even then, though.  He'd probably just have a death wish when it comes to taking on more and more dangerous missions with worse and worse odds of survival.
