Ice King was introduced as an antagonist in the series. Strauss said that "If the Ice King is Ward's dark side, then Finn, the show’s 16-year-old protagonist, is his light side." Appearances Neil Strauss of Rolling Stone noted that the character bore some similarities to Ward, including his " Trotsky glasses", his large beard and his strong desire for social interaction. Commenting on the character's sympathetic backstory, he said that he "enjoy a villain that you fall in love with." The monologue in which Ice King reveals his tragic past in the third season two-part special " Holly Jolly Secrets" was written by creative director Patrick McHale. Pendleton Ward, the creator of Adventure Time, considered Ice King to be a "pathetic" character. Kenny said that he approached the character as "a very real psychopath" who did not fully understand why his actions were wrong. He is voiced by Tom Kenny in the television series. In the short, the protagonists Finn the Human ( Jeremy Shada) and Jake the Dog ( John DiMaggio) fight Ice King to rescue Princess Bubblegum, whom he has kidnapped. The character was first voiced by John Kassir in the short film " Adventure Time", which introduced the character. The episodes " I Remember You" and " Simon & Marcy", which focus on the Ice King's paternal relationship with Marceline the Vampire Queen, are often considered two of the show's best. The crown's influence over Ice King came to be seen as a complex depiction of social isolation and mental illness, notably Alzheimer's and bipolar disorder. He regains his memory after being stripped of his powers in the series finale " Come Along with Me."Īlthough the character initially garnered a lukewarm reception from critics, his later backstory and character development into a tragic figure were widely acclaimed. In the show's third season, he is revealed to have once been an ordinary human named Simon Petrikov before falling under the influence of the crown. These later seasons portrayed Ice King as a lonely man driven insane by the magical crown which grants him ice powers. Originally depicted as an evil but incompetent wizard obsessed with kidnapping princesses, the character of Ice King was further developed in later seasons of the show. The character was introduced as the main antagonist and, as Simon Petrikov, develops into a supporting character in later seasons. Ice King is a fictional character in the American animated television series Adventure Time.
