Moment of the Day - Ice Gets the Cold Shoulder
Guy Gardner #1, by Gerard Jones and Joe Staton
Guy needs to be careful, Ice doesn't cry, she sleets. And then she freezes all of your stuff.

As a long-time Ice fan, I always thought Tora was both a positive influence and good character-foil for Guy Gardner. Tora may not have been the sole moving force for it, but she definitely sparked off a lot of positive character growth for Guy. Likewise, the nice-girl & bad-boy mix is a well-established methodology in the romance writing field.
But while Ice may have been the right girl for Guy, I never really believed that Guy was the right boy for Tora. Nice-girl & bad-boy aside, the characters themselves never really meshed or "clicked" for me.
I think in recent times, it might have worked out had Ice become the Blue (Hope) Lantern of Sector 2814 (Earth) since she always tries to see the best in everyone and always hopes for the best, but DCnU has killed that possibility (so far).
