My Little Pony 'n Friends: In "Baby, It's Cold Outside", King Charlatan uses a machine to amplify his power over cold and freeze the entire world. That way, all lesser creatures will die and the world will be a paradise for penguins such as himself. In Classical Mythology, this was Demeter's response when her daughter Persephone was abducted by Hades. Demeter wandered the earth in a state of rage and grief, and the entire world was as barren and cold as her heart. The situation got bad enough that the other Olympians eventually forced Hades to release Persephone. However, Persephone had already eaten a few pomegranate seeds in the underworld. As a result, she could never leave it forever. During the time Persephone and her mother are reunited, the earth would be prosperous and bountiful. During the time they are forced apart, the earth would be barren again. And that is why the different seasons exist. An alternative interpretation of the original myths, however, averts this, with Demeter causing an endless summer instead. In the Mediterranean climate of Greece, summer is the most barren season, being dry and hot. Some academics say that only when the myths percolated to more temperate climates did this myth convert to Demeter causing endless winter. Recess: School's Out: Dr. Benedict tries to cause this after reading that schoolchildren in colder climates have higher test scores. He attempts it by using a tractor beam stolen from the military when the Moon is closest to the Earth; the plan entailed firing it at that point and moving it into another orbit, thereby causing summer vacation to be erased and children to stay inside and study, ultimately getting better test scores and him elected as President. This was more serious than the previous Disney examples- whereas those would be limited to mere countries, he would've plunged the entire world into a new Ice Age. Endless Winter" is a 2020 crossover event in DC Comics publications. Written by Andy Lanning and Ron Marz, the story follows the Frost King's efforts to cause an eternal global winter and the Justice League's efforts to stop him. Taking place in the New Justice relaunch, the story appeared in nine issues spread across five comic titles published over five weeks in December 2020.

X-Men: In an arc on Astonishing X-Men, Iceman is corrupted by the Apocalypse Seed and allowed his powers to go out of control. At one point Thor goes into a trance as Iceman's powers grow, muttering the word "Fimbulvetr". Changeling: The Dreaming: The "Endless Winter" is more metaphysical in nature, tied to a fae view of the seasons of Ages, and the upcoming 6th Age is looking really really bad. Namely, the changelings view the current world, run through with disbelief, cynicism, and disappointment, as the "Autumn" world, where dreams are dying but the spark of imagination remains. Winter is a theoretical time where dreams and hope and imagination are all but dead. Honkai: Star Rail: The planet of Jarilo-VI was plunged into an ice age via a perpetual snow storm known as the "Eternal Freeze" about 700 years in the past that has rendered the planet nearly-inhospitable save for the city of Belobog. The Eternal Freeze was caused by the leader of the planet attempting to make a deal with a Stellaron to rid the planet of alien invaders. By the end of the Jarilo-VI storyline the Stellaron is sealed away, meaning that the snow storm is officially over though the planet is still ecologically devastated and will take centuries at least before it can fully recover. Final Fantasy Mystic Quest: One of the problems is the freezing of Aquaria, caused by the dimming of the Water Crystal. Benjamin and Phoebe have to restore its light to get rid of all the snow and ice. Inverted with Markovia; despite being the same northerly latitude as Lamordia, the coldest Domain of the Core, the Domain has an incongruously tropical island clime.

The Mighty Thor: The "Cask of Winters"/"Cask of Ancient Winters" is used to create this effect by several enemies of Asgard, especially Malekith the Accursed. Probably inspired by the Fimbulvetr.

Rifts: Both Canada and Russia suffered winters that lasted decades after the Coming of the Rifts, adding cold and starvation to the forces that wiped them clean of civilization. The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask: The demon Goht is causing an endless winter to plague the mountain range the Gorons live in.

The FORD RANGER WILDTRAK

Nuclear winter was a big worry during the Cold War (a Non-Indicative Name for the global conflict involved). This makes the modern issue of Global Warming somewhat ironic. Wonder Woman Vol 1: Princess Snowina has to keep her abode an endless winter, and approves the theft of a weather device that threatens to end their winter, as she and her people would melt and die if it got too warm.

Endless Winter" chapter four! The icy tendrils of Frost King's global grip extend all the way to the bottom of the Seven Seas! Can Arthur and Mera convince a ferocious collective of Fire Trolls to emerge from the Earth's very core to save Atlantis from its frozen imprisonment? And in our look to the past, the unlikely team of heroes gets more than they bargained for when they face off against the Frost King for the very first time!The Extremist Vector: The nuclear fallout from the detonations which destroyed civilization and all mammal life but rats on Blue Jay's homeworld trapped the unsurvivable remains of the planet in cold toxic darkness. The adventure module Icewind Dale Rime Of The Frostmaiden has the eponymous location, an arctic tundra within Northwest Faerûn, suffering from this thanks to Auril, the malevolent goddess of winter. Ever since moving to Icewind Dale to live amongst mortals, she had resorted to freezing everything and everyone in the region for her own pleasure. The curse can only be lifted if the adventurers manage to slay Auril or her roc companion which she uses to fly above and cast her nightly spell. At a panel discussion during the October 2020 New York Comic Con, writer Ron Marz said the story came together around "Justice League Viking", a 10th-century version of the modern superhero team. [5] Plot [ edit ] The northernmost region of Westeros is dubbed "the Land of Always Winter", which presumably is Exactly What It Says on the Tin. This is also implied to be the region where the Others come from.
