The Ice Spear Blaster was a long-range projectile weapon used by Mark Surge.

History[]

After Surge was brought back from Tanker Station 22 and was Upgraded, Natalie Breez presented Surge with his new weapon at a ceremony in Surge's honor.

Following the mass Breakout, Surge replaced his Ice Spear Blaster with an Electricity Shooter and a Plasma Gun for his battle against Splitface.

Functionality[]

The Ice Spear Blaster can be used to shoot spears of “ice”. The ice created is not actually made of water, but rather a frozen mixture of ammonia, methane and chlorine, as these freeze at lower temperatures. A thin film of crystalline benzene covers the entire spear, as means of keeping it from evaporating before impact.

The spears themselves can be shot with perfect accuracy thanks to a tiny self-guiding computer with laser guide that rests in each of the spears' tips.

The Blaster is also equipped with a climbing hook.

Example Usage[]

In Ordeal of Fire, Surge used the Ice Spear Blaster to create fireworks at a celebration in his honor.

Set Information[]

The Ice Spear Blaster was included in the Surge 2.0 Hero Factory set from early 2011, consisting of three of the set’s 30 pieces.

Perfect for long-range operations, the Ice Spears used by Mark Surge bring pinpoint accuracy to any situation.

HeroFactory.com Description[]

"Ice" is a little misleading - sure, the spears are ice, but not water ice; instead, they are formed from a frozen mixture of ammonia, methane, and chlorine, which all freeze at much lower temperatures than water. A thin film of crystalline benzene covers the entire spear, to keep it from evaporating before it reaches its target. A tiny self-guiding computer with a laser guide rests in the spear's tip, guiding it with eerie accuracy to the target.

The blaster can generate a new spear every 0.25 seconds, making it a rapid-fire weapon. It also includes a climbing hook, but who cares - that's not nearly as nifty as a spear made out of ICE.
