Frost Giants



The Ice/Frost giants of the dimensional realm of Jotunheim are one of the many types of giants that were in a constant state of war with the Asgardians. Jotunheim, one of the nine realms in the Asgardian cosmology housed many giants. In fact Odin's palace Valhalla was said to be built by one of the giants.

Ymir was said to be the first of the Ice giants followed by rulers like Utgard-Loki and the now deceasedLaufey.

History
Of all the races of giants, the foremost enemies of the Asgardian gods are the frost giants, whose monarch is  Utgard-Loki. The direct descendants of the first giant, Ymir, the Frost giants live in the area of Jotunheim whose climate resembles that of Earth's polar regions. Temperatures in this area never rise above the freezing point of water. The frost giants can exist comfortably at frigid temperatures but are highly vulnerable to heat. Although they can withstand the normal temperatures to be found in Asgard and in the temperate regions of Earth, intense heat causes them to shrink in size rapidly, as if they were melting. Long exposure to cold will eventually cause them to grow back to their previous size. The Frost Giants' powers are strongest in their own realm of Jotunheim, presumably due at least in part to the frigid climate of much of the realm.

Powers
These enormous giants have shown extreme durability in combat as well as the ability to survive the weather extremities of Jotunheim. They have often held their own in battle against the Asgardians though they have not been very successful.The giants have shown the ability to manipulate ice as projectiles, balls etc. ...
