Y'know what else could;ve been great? If Charlie Snow was Icicle or even Icicle Jr.

He was alluded back in Season 2 by Earth-2 Killer Frost, but never spoken of since. Saying his death was the reason her mom was a bitch to her. From what Season 3 showed us, E-1 Carla's excuse for being a cold mother was the "death" of her husband. And later we learned that Thomas created the Icicle and Killer Frost personas in an attempt to save himself and her daughter from death, as they both inherited ALS. So if Caitlin could inherit the marker for ALS, does that mean, if Charlie exists, he can too?

It would make sense if they tackled it this way: Carla gives birth to a boy named Charlie while Caitlin was too young to remember or even under her father's cryogenic experiments. Then he's experimented on after learning of his ALS. Then perhaps for his own protection for some reason, they put him up for adoption without a name. Then he's adopted by Joar Mahkent and named him Cameron. That's right! Ralph said he didn't exist, well he should've!

Joar Mahkent would be a criminal, but his "son", would want nothing to do with the "family business" and pursue a scientific career, cuz apparently academia is hereditary in the Snow fam. Eventually he's starts to manifest his powers and unlike Caitlin, he doesn't have the will to fight his alter ego off, so he sucumbs and Joar, while terrified at first, decides to use this to his advantage as his secret weapon in crime.
