"You think you gonna finish me in here, you old fruit? The other saps you tossed in this meat locker all panicked like rabbits. I just watched and waited. And when they started to kick, I started to scavenge. Made myself a little Splicer cocktail I did. If you can't come in from the cold, then you gotta grow ice over your heart. And the iceman cometh, Sander baby. The iceman fucking cometh."
―Martin Finnegan[src]

Martin Finnegan is a potent Houdini Splicer held prisoner by Sander Cohen in a meat locker in Fort Frolic's Poseidon Plaza. He is one of three splicers Cohen assigns Jack to kill and photograph to complete his "masterpiece" in Fort Frolic. Finnegan apparently gained his strength from harvesting ADAM from the other splicers Cohen had thrown into the freezer and turned himself into "The Iceman". Finnegan freezes his victims in dramatic poses, and tries to do so with Jack.

[edit] Battle Strategy

Head down the Frozen Tunnel, thawing the corpse from the ceiling and the audio diary from the wall as you go. As you enter the meat locker, Finnegan freezes Jack temporarily and threatens to turn him into an ice sculpture. Shortly afterwards, Jack will thaw out, and the battle begins.

Finnegan starts the battle by posing as one of his ice sculptures. When you approach him, he will attack. Finnegan fights like a Houdini Splicer, except that he shoots ice blasts instead of fireballs. The Incinerate! plasmid is a good weapon in this battle, but antipersonnel ammo also proves quite effective, as will a bolt from the Crossbow (If you've managed to get some Incendiary Bolts before heading into the meat locker, then those would work even better). In fact, a single head shot with the Crossbow will finish him, even on the hard difficulty. The best strategy is to aim for his head while he is still posing, and you will not have to fight him at all. Another strategy is to grab the gas tank in the northwest corner of the freezer with Telekinesis and hurl it at Finnegan the moment he reveals himself.

Additionally, you can thaw out the frozen splicers in the room. They have a grudge against Finnegan, since he has been draining their ADAM to keep himself fit, so they will instantly attack him upon thawing.

After killing Finnegan, search his body for the Frozen Field tonic, and then take his photograph to be placed in Sander Cohen's quadtych.
