how would you know this though.
Besides, can Supes survive dehydration? Suppose Iceman became all the water in every cell of Supeses body, and then just exited the cells, leaving them all shrunken and dry. No water = Shriveled Supes.
Clark's Kryptonian body is already hardier than a normal human, and this hardiness is quite enhanced by metabolizing the solar energy he's absorbed into his body. It takes a lot to hurt the Man of Steel, thus why he's called the Man of Steel. The most extreme of conditions would still hurt the man and there are beings out there like Doomsday that can put the pain on the man. The solar energy is redirected by his body to his aura, making him almost completely impervious to normal damage. The aura will offer some protection as well to anything he's wearing that is close-fitting, but that's the extent of the protection to other things that it gives. His invulnerability is proportional to how much solar energy he has stored, although it caps at a certain point. When he loses access to solar energy or is affected by Kryptonite radiation, his vulnerability begins decreasing thus making it easier to hurt him. Magical attacks are an exception as they affect Superman quite effectively and are able to hurt him pretty much bypassing his invulnerability.
And three things bypass his aura K-nite, magic, and Red-sun radiation. I don't see anywhere in Iceman's powers that have any of these things.
Powers
Immunity
Because of his Kryptonian physiology, Clark's body is very good at fighting diseases or poisons to an extent, making him immune to them. You won't see Clark getting a cough, for example, because of his immunity system is advanced enough that it won't let it affect the man. Are there things out there that could poison him or make him sick? Maybe, but it's not very likely at least when it comes to substances or diseases that can be found on Earth and Krypton. Even when infected, his body will fight the infection at an accelerated rate.

Oh man...
Look:
Superman breathes.
Superman eats.
Superman drinks.
Superman metabolizes all of the above.
These are all established facts. Regardless of him becoming Superman Prime, it has been firmly established by DC that Superman has the capacity to do all these things.
Iceman, though not super strong, magical, telepathic, or having control of the electro-magnetic spectrum via mutation or the Power Cosmic, can attack Superman by way of his own natural body chemistry. The fact that Superman metabolizes water, food, and air, and that a large portion of his body consists of fluids is what makes him susceptible to Iceman. Iceman has a way of bypassing Superman's famous biomatrix by hitchhiking inside of Supes protection by way of Supperman's own respitory system, and then wreaking havoc on his cardiovascular, nervous, and circulatory system simultaneously, or by simply removing all moisture from Superman's body by inhabiting it and claming it as his one (forming a body from it). He doesn't have to slug it out with Supes, cast any spells, or carry any radioactive rocks. All he has to do is transfer his consciousness into the moisture within Superman and it's game over.
Game.
Over.
1)Supes is vulnerable to psionics.
2)Supes metabolizes water, air, and food.
3)Supes body chemistry consists of fluids.
Iceman doesn't have to break through Supes forcefield. He can transfer his consciousness in along the moisture in the air Supes breathes and naturally allows into his body, bypassing his biomatrix.
We do know that Supes eats, drinks, and breathes. We do know Superman has blood and saliva.
That's all we need to know.
That's Iceman's way in.
how would supes know to inhale him??? its all based on the fact that supes has no idea that iceman can live as water vapor....can supes melt him?? sure but then he's water vapor.....that means that he then as an advantage because he is in effect, invisible.....and its really not that hard to understand what Illadelph is saying...he might be alien but he still does things such as eat, and drink which does pass his biomatrix which is icemans ticket in....from there he can cause havok by just sucking all the water eveywhere and then leave the body......that equals Shriveledman
yes!!! i must fight the good fight......but serouisly people need to learn that supes is not God.....he is more powerful than iceman, sure but there are tactical advatages that cannot be overlooked.....batman with a K-ring is a tactical advantage, WW with a magic sword is a tactical advantage, Iceman turning into water vapor is a tactical advantage and him sucking all the mouisture from supes' insides is something he can do with that tactical advantage.....

A Martian (Protex, I believe) tried something similar to this on Supes.
It didnt work.

In all honesty, I've never seen one turn into water molecules.
Just saying protex got inside supes in a liquid form and attacked him. It did him no good. As we both know, White Martians are quite powerful, they should have even more ways to attack once inside a body, as they are full bred warriors.
