    We've known for some time that Ice Slide was going to be a travel power, but now we've got our very first look at it with the most recent release of screenshots from Cryptic Studios for Champions Online. And what a screen it is, what with an ice-armored shark-man in a surf pose as he, well, surfs on ice!The image really makes you start to wonder what sorts of characters are going to be possible in just a short couple of months away when the game is finally released.There's also an image of the elusive Foxbat, and while we've been denied a look at his in-game face, those sneaky Cryptic developers have given us a really cool distortion effect to gawp over.
