-His super-human abilities have been described by teammate [[Jakita Wagner]] as "heat subtraction". What this means is that he can affect the temperature around him, producing immense cold. The limits of his powers have not been explored, but it has been implied that he is incredibly powerful.

-==Fictional character biography==
-Little is known about Snow's life and even what is known is fairly patchy. Born at [[midnight]] on [[New Year's Day]] [[1900]], Snow was one of the [[Century Babies]], humans born at this exact moment who were all extraordinary in some way. It has been theorised that these people are analogous to an [[immune system]] for the planet [[Earth]]. Other notables include [[Axel Brass]], [[Lord Blackstock]] and [[Jenny Sparks]].  As Jenny Sparks has been called "The [[Spirit]] of the [[20th century]]", Snow has been called "The [[Ghost]] of the 20th century".
-Almost nothing is known about Snow's childhood, but he grew up somewhere in [[North America]] and was neither well-educated, nor wealthy.
-By 1919, Snow had become something of a wanderer, encountering various paranormal beings and events. In 1919, he travelled to a castle in Europe, where an unnamed doctor (presumably [[Frankenstein]]) had been resurrecting the dead. There, he discovered a map of the world that featured those things kept from public knowledge. He then travelled to [[London]], where he met [[Sherlock Holmes]] and [[Count Dracula]]. After Snow used his powers to kill Dracula, Holmes admitted to him that they were part of a [[Conspiracy (political)|conspiracy]] of various extraordinary people who had attempted to reshape the world. Wanting to understand the secret history of the world, Snow then studied as the great detective's apprentice for the next five years.
-After Holmes's death in [[1925]], Snow again began to wander, aware by this stage that he had ceased to age. His adventures included stowing away on a submarine called the Nautilis in 1959, though it is unclear whether this was the first US Nuclear powered submarine (''[[USS Nautilus (SSN-571)]]'') or ''[[Nautilus (Verne)|Nautilus]]'' from [[Jules Verne]]'s ''[[Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea]]'', although the image that refers to this event appears to indicate it would be the latter. Snow also discovered the Lost City of Opak-Re and used [[Uluru]] (Ayers Rock) to gate into another dimension of reality. All of these adventures were recorded and catalogued in "''The Planetary Guide.''"
-Eventually, Snow formed ''The Planetary Organization'' to further his explorations. By the early 1990s, this Organization came into contact with [[Four (comics)|The Four]], who wished to keep as much hidden information and technology for themselves as possible. Snow came close to successfully defeating The Four, but was eventually captured and forced to submit to various memory blocks that would prevent him from remembering key aspects of his life, including Planetary and his mission in life.
-Approximately 10 years later, he was "recruited" by the [[Planetary]] field team in an attempt to gently restore his memory. This was successful, though the trauma of this experience has made Snow a far more single-minded and dark individual.
