How would you build Absolute Zero from SotM?

Let's talk about the very awesome BASH!

Honestly, in general the game doesn't offer much information as to the character's occupations and whatnot. You really couldn't assign skills to Legacy either. And the ones that do aren't well detailed. Haka would probably have some survival skills, since his backstory clearly states that he spent some time in the wilderness. Tachyon is clearly indicated as being a physicist. Ra is also shown to be an Archaeologist. As for Absolute Zero, one of his cards has a little quote on it, with Tachyon claiming his powers violate the laws of thermodynamics or something like that. He just replies with 'Look, all I know is fire gets weird around me.' This to me implies that he may not have any scientific knowledge.

And looking up stuff about SoTM, I just found out that the next expansion is going to be the last. Though many people believe that the franchise will continue, especcially since the game is their primary cash cow. It really makes no business sense for them to abandon it. And they have claimed they're going to release the promo cards. Oh, and they also supposedly are working on an RPG for the setting too, all I know is its supposedly takes inspiration from the four-color system. So I'm kinda thinking that there's no need for me to make write-ups for the characters myself. And besides, many of them don't need it anyway. Like I said, Legacy is a stereotypical paragon (minus the fact that he has no ranged attack of any kind, so no heat-vision), Tachyon is a speedster, and Wraith is literally just a female Batman.
