Geten (full name Himura Geten, alias Iceman), from the My Hero Academia canon on the official Fandom wiki, is a hardcore ideologue of the Meta Liberation Army (later Paranormal Liberation Front). He embodies extreme meritocracy based on Quirk strength: he believes society should be hierarchical with the most powerful Quirks at the top, and personal worth is measured almost solely by how strong and honed one's Quirk is.

Key traits from canon:

He's obsessively dedicated to training his Ice Ply (Hyōsō) Quirk for years, skipping normal life (no school, constant self-improvement) because he sees raw power as the ultimate value and survival mechanism.

He's deeply grateful to Re-Destro for "granting him more power" (likely via resources, training, or awakening opportunities), showing he values external boosts that amplify strength.

He awakened his Quirk during intense conflict (Re-Destro burning his hand), gaining temperature control over ice/water, making it far more versatile and destructive (city-scale range, manipulating existing ice/water into weapons, defenses, or platforms).

He's proud, arrogant about his own power, and dismissive of those he sees as weaker or reliant on lesser means (e.g., clashing ideologically with Dabi over Quirk philosophy, mocking reliance on fire when ice can counter it).

Rei Todoroki (née Himura) has the Frost Quirk, which lets her generate and manipulate ice from her body at will. It's a strong emitter-type ice Quirk, but she never trained it aggressively—her life was shaped by quirk marriage to Endeavor, trauma, abuse, mental breakdown, and institutionalization. She used it defensively/offensively in flashbacks (e.g., scarring Shoto), but it's portrayed as potent yet emotionally burdensome, not something she honed to its limits.

Regarding how Geten would feel about Rei (sharing the Himura surname/clan ties, both ice users):

Geten would almost certainly feel a mix of envy and disdain toward Rei, leaning heavily into envy over her raw potential but tempered by contempt for her "wasted" life.

Envy factor: Rei's Frost is a pure, innate ice generation Quirk—creating ice from nothing, potentially unlimited output if trained (similar to how Shoto's ice side scales massively). Geten's Ice Ply relies on manipulating existing ice or water sources (he needs moisture/ice nearby to go all-out, though awakening helps). In a direct comparison, Rei's ability to spawn ice freely could be seen as "superior" in versatility or sustainability in dry environments. Geten, who idolizes Quirk strength above all and trains relentlessly to maximize his, would envy someone born with what he might view as a "better toolkit" for ice dominance, especially if he learned she was from the same declining Himura bloodline (which canon ties to quirk marriages and selective breeding for strong ice Quirks).

Disdain/contempt factor: Rei never pursued power maximization—she was a civilian housewife, broken by Endeavor's abuse, and her Quirk use was sporadic/trauma-linked rather than trained to god-tier levels like Geten's lifelong grind. Geten would see this as squandering a gift: someone with strong ice heritage who could have been a top-tier powerhouse but instead became weak, passive, and institutionalized. His worldview doesn't value "potential" alone—it demands active honing and dominance. He'd likely view her as a failure or embarrassment to the bloodline, someone who didn't "earn" her power through effort, making any envy bitter and resentful.

Overall, Geten would be envious of Rei's Quirk's inherent advantages (free generation vs. his manipulation dependency), but that envy would fuel scorn—he'd see her as proof that even strong Quirks mean nothing without relentless pursuit of strength, aligning with his merit-based ideology. If they met (e.g., in a hypothetical where Geten learns of the Himura-Todoroki connections), he'd probably mock her harshly while internally seething at what she "could have been" if she'd trained like him. This fits his canon personality as someone who measures everyone by Quirk power output and effort, not birthright or unused potential.

I realixed that Geten would envy Rei for her powers

Here’s how such an encounter might play out under different contexts:

🔹 Emotional & Family Angle

Rei, who treasures family above all else, would likely look at Geten not as a villain, but as family she has long been separated from. She might feel a sense of guilt knowing the Himura lineage produced both herself—a victim of Enji’s abusive marriage—and Geten, who internalized a worldview revolving around power hierarchy and strength.

She would probably try to appeal to the human side beneath Geten’s devotion to the Liberation Army, emphasizing compassion and choice. Much like she told Shoto that he wasn’t bound by his father’s blood, Rei might tell Geten that he isn’t bound by the Liberation Army’s ideology.

🗨️ “We bear the same name, the same cold in our veins… but that doesn’t mean we must freeze ourselves away from family, or from warmth.”

This sets up a beautiful contrast: Rei’s ice as a symbol of comfort, protection, and healing, versus Geten’s ice as a force of destruction and domination.

🔹 Ideological Conflict

Geten is deeply entrenched in the idea that strength equals worth. He’d likely scoff at Rei’s compassion, calling it weakness. To him, Rei’s submissive marriage and mental breakdown might appear as proof that people who rely on emotions instead of sheer power are doomed.

Rei, however, has endured tremendous suffering and still finds the strength to forgive and protect her family. This could serve as a quiet rebuttal to Geten’s worldview: true strength lies in enduring pain and choosing to love in spite of it.

Their conversation could echo the Todoroki family drama: Rei confronting someone who mirrors what Shoto could have become if he had let bitterness rule him.

🔹 Battle Potential

If a fight were to break out, Geten’s Ice Ply (unrivaled ice manipulation) would initially overwhelm Rei, who never trained her Quirk for combat. But Rei could still strategically use her Frost to protect others or to cut through his ice waves with precise counter-cooling.

However, Rei’s role in such a conflict wouldn’t be about overpowering Geten—it would be about reaching him emotionally while resisting him physically. She might stall his attacks long enough for Shoto, or even Endeavor, to intervene.

🔹 Possible Outcomes

Tragic Tension – Rei fails to get through to him, reinforcing Geten’s ideology that love and weakness are meaningless. He continues down his destructive path.

Emotional Breakthrough – Hearing from a family member he’s never known softens Geten. Even if he doesn’t fully “switch sides,” he starts questioning his doctrine of power-above-all.

Mirror for the Todorokis – Rei’s confrontation with Geten could act as a parallel to the Todoroki family’s struggle: a reminder that family can go separate ways based on how they process pain—bitterness vs. compassion.
