>>80618261Not that anon, but the way I see it, Dominator's ship is less of a machine and more of a borderline-living thing, that is able to adapt itself to situations if an opportunity to do so exists. Remember, Frostonium-17 isn't JUST a really cold rock, it's just as viable a power source as Dominator's Volcanium-X, the two just sort of cancel one another out. So when the reactor was overloaded with Frostonium, the ship fixed itself the only way it could: By constructing an alternate engine pathway to run on Frostonium and then rapidly switching back and forth with the Volcanium pathway to keep the two from cancelling each other out. The ship's link to Dominator's armour then allows her to use the abilities of both substances, thus the ice powers.
Basically, imagine if you accidentally filled a normal car with diesel and turned it on, but instead of ruining the engine, the car grew a new engine that could run on diesel, and the ability to separate the two fuels into their separate engines.
