Icicle was at Cold Academy for Mr. Freeze's presentation of his life's work, the Ice Beam. Not wanting to be late, Snowman accidentally ran into Icicle just as he was telling some goons an anecdote about telling someone to cool their jets. Icicle pretended to understand and froze him so he would be late. Everyone applauded Freeze. Cold chimed in with an ice pun, "Snow one will able to stop us," to Freeze's delight. Icicle mocked Cold and still couldn't believe he was passed over for captain. Freeze scold him for whispering and threatened to punish him with cleaning the ice toilets. Icicle rolled his eyes. For being the star pupil, Captain Cold was given the honor of activating the Ice Beam. Icicle pranked Cold and told him to look out for a polar bear. Cold thought he was just talking about the statue of Fluffy, the Cold Academy's first Director General. While everyone was distracted, Icicle switch the signs for the activation and self-destruction levers. Icicle lied he was just making sure Cold remembered the school history.
Cold pulled the lever for self-destruction by mistake. Icicle stepped into protect Freeze and encased him in a block of ice. Freeze was grateful and promoted Icicle to the rank of captain but busted Cold down to private. Cold made a deal with Beast Boy and Cyborg to get back at Icicle. They pretended to be new students Ice Box and Frosty Tips. In the locker room, Cyborg greeted Icicle. Icicle informed them he was a captain and went into a shower stall. Cyborg switched his shampoo with one filled with nanites and shaved all his hair off. Freeze thought he was making fun of his early onset baldness and ordered him to glue his hair all back on at once or he would be demoted to private. In the cafeteria, Icicle cut in line. Beast Boy snipped a rope holding a jar and it dropped on his head. Freeze believed he was making fun of his head jar. He warned he would be demoted if there was one more slip-up. Beast Boy and Cyborg set up a simple tin can telephone by Nora and they pretended to be Nora talking to Freeze. According to plan, Cold revealed the tin can and they tracked the other end to Icicle's dorm room.
Icicle happened to be reading Snow Globes Monthly in his dorm when Cold and Freeze arrived and found the other can under Icicle's bed. Icicle claimed he was set up but Freeze apologized to Cold, reinstated his rank of captain, and demoted Icicle. Icicle was beside himself. Some time later, Icicle was about to leave the academy when he heard Ice Box and Frosty Tips suffering brain freeze from eating slushies too quickly. He realized they weren't real students since real ice villains were immune to brain freeze then concluded they were ones who framed him. He fired his Cold Gun but froze the Fluffy statue instead. Frosty Tips vowed to slalom across his face but Icicle froze him in an ice cube. He then made an ice ramp and repelled Ice Box's freezer burn food back at him. Cold and Icicle charged each other but Freeze ordered them to stop and drop their weapons. Freeze unveiled his new and improved Ice Beam. Icicle was not impressed with the Snowflake Army and thought it was so dumb, believing he should have went to Heatwave School for Fire Criminals. After referring to the snowflakes as jerks, they swarmed Icicle and formed a snowman around him. Freeze joked he shouldn't have given them the cold shoulder.
