The Iceman

Nickname for hitman

The Iceman is a nickname for several notable figures.

Most famously, it refers to Ötzi, the remarkably preserved 5,000-year-old mummy discovered in the Alps in 1991.

It's also the moniker of Richard Kuklinski, a contract killer whose cold demeanor earned him the name, and various athletes known for performing under pressure: The Iceman cometh.

The nickname suggests emotional coldness or icy composure.
