Leonard Snart was raised by an abusive father. Snart took confort with his grandfather, who was an ice truck driver. Following his grandfather's death, Snart fell into a life of crime. He soon joined a gang of would be robbers and was issued a gun and a visor, intended to protect its user's eyes from gunfire flashes. Snart later added a radio receiver in order to listen in on the police bandwidth. The gang was soon rounded up by the Flash.
Considering a solo enterprise, Snart researched ways to stop the Flash. In one article, it was theorized that the energy emissions of a cyclotron would interfere with the Flash's powers. He broke into the cyclotron lab and used the device to charge up his experimental gun. Snart was surprised by a security guard. He used the gun to scare the guard away but discovered the gun could freeze someone in their tracks. Snart incorporated a parka to his wardrobe and called himself Captain Cold, the Man who Mastered Absolute Zero.
When a $1 Billion bounty was placed on Superman, Cold teamed up with several other cryo-themed villains: Icicle, Killer Frost, and Mr. Freeze. They managed to freeze Batman in his tracks, but Superman made short work of them.
