Ultron Revolution
Before the years of Ultron Revolution, Iceman seemed to have the same history with his Earth-61615 counterpart, along with some few additions throughout his life during the modern day, until the delusional and megalomaniacal machine Ultron had started an all-out war against humanity, along with the intent of exterminating all life on Earth, and extinguish those who dares to oppose him and his ideologies. Unfortunately to Bobby, he lost his entire family, including his long-time beloved fiancé Judah Miller, during the first week of the A.I.'s attack, as he unleashed his Ultron Sentinels in Long Island, reaching his childhood home that ultimately led to the demises of his loved ones, much to his irrepressible grief in losing all of them.
During the events Ultron Revolution, Bobby became one of the only few known mutants who have survived the Mutant War against the "Ultron Sentinels," Sentinels that were created and activated by Ultron himself, in order to exterminate every mutant they could find and tracked down. The effects of the war have caused the disbandment of the X-Men, The Brotherhood, and every other mutant organization that ever existed and also caused the many deaths to millions of humans and mutants worldwide, leading to a world-mass terrorism acts and violence committed against mutantkind.
Due to this series of unfortunate events, Bobby and the rest of his fellow surviving mutants, led by Logan, who believed in the same cost tried their absolute best and kept on fighting and surviving against anti-mutant oppressors in order to avoid mutant extinction from ever happening. At some point when mutantkind were on the critical brink of extermination from the unstoppable oppression of anti-mutant, Bobby started getting too close with his closest friend at the time, Rogue, where he would later deeply fall in love with her, and eventually, the two began to profess their love to each other, due to their mutual attraction to one another since then. Since the two had become a couple, Bobby slowly started moving on from Judah, though at the same time, he sincerely implied that he and their memories together has, and will always be staying in a part deep inside his heart, for his whole life.
However, the latter had still failed, and without anyone who could've help the mutantkind from anti-mutant power, not even the superhumans could have done anything, the survivors had no other choice but to leave their homes inside states and countries all around the world who were ran by anti-mutant supporters, and forced to go and live in hiding, hoping for the days that hope would come and save mutantkind, hoping for the days that would never come.
Dark Future
Years after the events of Ultron Revolution, mutants are on the brink of extinction due to the release of a virus, known as the "Legacy Virus," formerly created by the Transigen Project was released by Ultron moments before his defeat years ago when it began spreading, poisoning the population of mutantkind. Due to this cataclysmic event, Bobby and Rogue were forced to abandon the ruins of the X-Mansion since the dismantlement of the X-Men, and had no other choice but to rely on each other as they're on their own, only a few months even before the chaotic anarchic nation of United States had decided to force every single mutant out of the country borders, and seize those who were willing to reject the new law they had cruelly implemented.
As a result to these events, the rest of the mutants slowly retired from their heroic lives and began living outside the United States, hiding from the eyes of the Alkali Corporation, an anti-mutant organization and a subsidiary of H.A.M.M.E.R. who recently surfaced into a recovering society and began hunting, killing, and experimenting on mutantkind for their sole purpose is to wipe them out from existence.
Ending Edward Stark's Tyranny
After the death of The Punisher, Bobby, Rogue, and the rest of the remaining mutants were subsequently inspired by the heroic sacrifice of their long-time friend and ally, and decided to finally come out in the open and help the entire Resistance in battling against Edward Stark's tyrannical dictatorship over the world and decided to finally end it once and for all after five years, which were proven to be successful in the end of their heroic campaign after the Empire collapse, and fell crumbling into the ground.
Along with their grand victory, the Alkali Corporation also fell along with the rest of the Empire's associations, all thanks to Logan's last known act of leadership in leading a mutant resistance against the cruel organization. Despite their additional victor for the future of mutantkind, Bobby and Rogue were puzzled by Logan's sudden disappearance, having little awareness to what he was actually planning on doing next, which was saving his daughter Laura from the clutches of Alkali's grasps, Zander Rice.
Peace to Mutantkind
Five days later after the war against the Empire had ended, Bobby and the hopeful mutant resistance assisted the powerful speech held by the new president of the nation, Thunderbolt Ross, who publicly pleaded the innocence of the mutant race in Washington, ultimately convincing the entire nation that mutantkind was never their enemy to begin with, which finally ended most of the anti-mutant-related conflict which has been previously occurring all over the world, once and for all, giving another glimpse of hope to the rest of mutantkind in starting over again, in an equal and peaceful society. During the nationwide speech, Ross was almost assassinated by the former H.A.M.M.E.R. mercenary and anti-mutant Hitman, but was saved by the last second, thanks to Bobby's quick reflexes, who was also able to subdue Kenyon afterwards, leading to his arrest.
Secret Wars
As a consequence of the reality-ending phenomena known as incursions, Bobby's entire universe were on the brink to have come to an end. As the incursion commences, Bobby assisted the rest of his Earth's heroes in defending the civilians of Manhattan from the incoming threats up the skies above coming from the other Earth, while the others were heavily occupied in assisting the people in entering the fleet of massive spaceships in the intention of evacuating the planet. However, none of their efforts have ever prevailed, and in the ultimate end, the two realities collided otherwise, and Bobby had no other but to tearfully kiss and embrace his beloved Rogue, who was fatally wounded at the time, one last time, as they and rest of the Earth's inhabitants who were left on the planet's surface, had inevitably died together with his universe.
Return
After the restoration of the Multiverse at the hands of the benevolent Beyonder in order to compensate the disastrous and convoluted Secret Wars, Rogue and Iceman along with the rest of Earth-61616's surviving residents would later resurface in his own native universe in its normal state, which was eventually brought back to existence together with the rest of the Multiverse, most notably after the heroes of the mainstream reality were able to banish Nightmare from this reality, preventing him from taking over Earth-61616 and making it his realm of darkness.
