Ice King

Ice King, also known as Simon Petrikov, is a fictional character in the American animated television series Adventure Time. The character was introduced as the main antagonist and develops into a supporting character in later seasons. He is voiced by the American actor Tom Kenny in most appearances.

Originally depicted as an evil but incompetent wizard obsessed with kidnapping princesses, he was depicted in later seasons as a lonely man driven insane by a magical crown which grants him ice powers. The show's third season reveals that he was once an ordinary human named Simon Petrikov before falling under the influence of the crown. He regains his memory after being stripped of his powers in the series finale "Come Along with Me."

Although the character initially garnered a lukewarm reception from critics, his later backstory and character development into a tragic figure were widely acclaimed. The crown's influence over Ice King came to be seen as a complex depiction of social isolation and mental illness, notably Alzheimer's and bipolar disorder. The episodes "I Remember You" and "Simon & Marcy", focusing on the Ice King's paternal relationship with Marceline the Vampire Queen, are often considered two of the show's best.
