Nora Fries was the wife of Victor Fries but was placed in cryogenesis after she began to succomb to a rare disease. Wayne Tech managed to restore her to life, but she later died after her body rejected the cure. In a move of desperation, Mr. Freeze procured the services of the Penguin to steal the Shawl of Magdalene from the Church of St. Dumas so he could use it to return Nora Fries back to life. Azrael, the champion of St. Dumas, was dispatched to retrieve the Shawl and exact punishment on the thief. Freeze then stole Fries' body from her grave and took it to to one of his storehouses, an abandoned ice rink named Iceland. He placed the Shawl on Fries and waited.
Azrael went to Iceland alone and found the Shawl of Magdalene draped over the corpse of Nora Fries. Mr. Freeze doubted Azrael's sympathy and wouldn't admit the truth that the Shawl didn't work on the dead. Freeze stated it will and it must because he wasn't losing her again. He then froze Azrael with his gun. Luckily, Batman started his search at Iceland because Mr. Freeze used to use the ice rink to store his equipment. Batman was wary of Freeze because of his desperation to revive Fries. Mr. Freeze estimated Azrael had about 60 seconds left. Batman resorted to jilt Freeze out of his insanity by kicking the table Fries' corpse was resting on. Freeze was shocked and held her wrapped in the Shawl. Batman dispatched him and saved Azrael.
