with that considered, in marvel, iceman can shunt even that residual heat away from that spot or his surrounding vivinity. he's even powerful enough to do that when he is in high temperature environments. (peak)
The Bobby arguments are a bit all over the place.
At the end of the day his powers depend on being able to slow down localized vibrations in molecules and particles. He doesn't transmute molecules or anything.
Water is the one thing his powers can manipulate. He's not going to take over non-water based molecules and shut them down because he has no control over anything outside of water.
The H2O molecules gain thermal energy from a system and then that energy is shut down by Iceman.
If he shuts down a reactor or a molten rock it is via the moisture that surrounds said substance/object. Iceman himself is water based for this reason. Unless people want to go against canon?
That's why I'm saying the Iceman arguments are all over the place. Supes generates too much energy externally and internally for Iceman's powers to have an effect, better he can actually split substances at the atomic level.
Supes has has an internal nuclear reactor which will hydrolyse water (the very molecules Iceman needs to control thermal energy).
