However, in the thirties, the monastery disbanded and Foe-Dog was left without a home to protect. It was then, that the spirit of the Lion Dog left Chin Hsi. For seventy years, the spirit lay dormant until an attack left Iceman in an out of control state. Sealed in a ball, Iceman's powers attacked those who came near.
