Hey it could be worse. Imagine if you’re a Rahkshi and your power is Ice Resistance.
You have others who can do things like make an entire village fall asleep, trap a person in place just by looking at them, be literally impossible to hit. And you just can’t be frozen.
Imagine if you’re fighting Kopaka Nuva and you’re like Haha I cannot be frozen because my entire body is antifreeze! And he just freezes the air around you and traps you in a giant block of ice. Technically you’re not frozen but you can’t move and can’t generate sufficient momentum to break out.
At least a Rahkshi of Fire Resistance can swim in volcanoes and effectively ignore the existence of fire and any other attacks. But you can still take physical damage from an ice blade or block smashing into your head. Only your Kraata body burns at the touch mind you, your Rahkshi armor doesn’t carry that trait.
Like okay Heat Vision and Laser Vision are the same. Electricity is just a shittier version of Chain Lightning, the same goes for Power Scream and Sonics. But at least you can do something with those.
I bet Kraata Kal originally had the power of Ice Resistance before Teridax transformed him. He of course selected a Kraata like that for the experiment, because of course a power like Ice Resistance was considered expendable. Accuracy had too much utilitarian usage, Magnetism can just make every biomechanical being implode like a tin can. And even though Kraata-Kal became more powerful than any Rahkshi, I can imagine why he’d resent his father so much for even cursing him with that shortcoming to begin with.
Ice Resistance? Oh noooo the Kraata can’t be frozen!!! A goddamn Matoran could kill the strongest Ice Resistance Kraata with just a knife or a rock. Even a sufficiently hardened block of ice just to rub salt in the wound. Sorry I meant ice.
