User blog comment:A Cat Named Cheshire/Question about the Ice King/@comment-5004680-20120410001545

I'm not sure. He probably finds somewhere else to live, but you can't know. I have an interesting theory about the ice king and the land of ooh, though, but contains MAJOR spoilers. Here is my theory. After a long and devastating war between humans, involving nuclear weapons, lifeforms still alive 1000 years later mutate because of the nuclear residue. Finn is one of the lucky, and was never exposed to the nuclear waste that caused the destruction of the old world and the mutations, possibly being in space, frozen, etc. Ice king, who was alive before the war, was also mutated. He became crazy because of his crown, and lost his wife, Bettie (I think that's her name.) This is the shocking part. Princess bubblegum is the most often captured princess by ice king, who's obsessions over princesses was started by his parting with his wife. Like princess bubblegum, she is a scientist. AND, princess bubblegum's original first name was BETTIE, not Bonnibel. Also, Marceleine and PB knew each other from some time before, Marceleine was alive shortly after the war, so PB could have been, too. Therefore, I think PB is Ice King's former wife.
