Yeah, I hear you about underutilized powers, but in a lot of those cases you can say it's personal interest (they just REALLY LIKE CLOTHES, okay?) or they just like causing violence or whatever.

But none of those apply to Victor Fries. He's psychologically stable with no interest in supervillainy outside of, you know, figuring out ways to cure his wife. If somebody said "hey, we'll get some of the best medical experts in the world on your wife's case if you would refreeze the polar ice caps" he'd be all "sounds awesome, let's go."
