I initially thought this was a joke about how Trump's rally supporters got both hypothermia and heatstroke in the same week
Pyrokinesis or Cryokinesis

Same goes for freezing, cryogenic energy storage is amazing technology that I would argue has more applications than a single person being able to make fire in their vicinity.
Let's see how well your facility works after I burn it down. Game. Set. Match. Pyros.
I mean yeah, are we talking here about controlling ice, and fire or able to make it? 🤔
Bobby's only limit is that he can't go below absolute 0, but has so many uses of it that it's just OP, while a Pyro I guess can go so hot that it destroys everything everywhere, but that's about it, can't do much if you are a good superhero and don't want to kill everyone hahah.
In terms of physical plausibility, I don't really see much of a difference (definitely not in the cited points).
Both revolve around changing the amount of heat present. There is no reason to "create cold", which doesn't really have a physical meaning anyway. Adding or taking away heat from the universe violates the same physical law: creating or destroying energy.
They could both avoid this by redirecting heat, but the environment would need to cancel out the energy change. This clearly doesn't happen in most (all?) fictional representations but let's assume it's done properly.
One would concentrate heat around the hottest points, the other would disperse it away from the coldest points. These both violate the second law of thermodynamics, since they require colder matter to transfer heat to warmer matter.
tl;dr they both violate the same physical laws to a comparable extent so just pick whatever is most fun.

I'll just take energy-kinesis and add Lightning to the repertoire. Than I'll truly be a FF black mage.
Ice. Ice-Man was always one of my favorite X-men characters.
Plus maybe you could help out global warming depending on how easy it is for you to generate the ice.

I don't see how it is more British than biscuitkinesisNeither. I'd go for Lactokinesis, the most British kinesis there is:

I completely forgot about that! Touché sir!
Secondary power wasn't right, but you said what I was getting at. Cyrokinesis is already heat manipulation.
It really depends on how limited the growth potential is. Comic book writers have been stretching the limitations of superpowers for decades.
Gotta be Cryo, since I imagine it gives me locomotive options. Pyro I think you really have to stretch to imagine you can use it to "fly" or anything, sure some characters can but I could imagine getting stuck with the ability to burn shit but not actually push myself in any way. With Cryo I could raise myself up on ice in theory, or move the ice along the ground, etc. I guess the rules there matter too tho, maybe all it lets me do is freeze water that exists, not shape it.
Ultimately whichever one lets me fuckin move around cool!!!

Why not both?
Lol I just was using him the other day in SFV. I love his weird combos!
I think of the two, Cryo is the more practical choice and the one I like better.
"Both" is the more fun answer.
That said, I want lightning/electricity powers. Electrokinesis?

"Nothing moves at absolute zero so that means I have time stopping powers."
I'll take whatever absurd bullshit she's having, thanks.
Cryokinesis would be cool to know you'd always be able to get fresh water no matter what from melting the ice.
Despite the fact that I love the idea of being a pyro, because I love building and controlling fires in real life- I think cryo would have more daily uses.
I'd honestly pick whichever let me regulate my body temperature so I could always be comfortable. That's the biggest daily use right there.
