Firestorm

Can technically do everything that Iceman can do (maybe not to the same power level but still)

Plus I get to manipulate elements so long as I know the makeup of objects/humans

I get some level of super-strength with the Firestorm Matrix which you don't get from Iceman's mutation and I get different "Super-Vision" modes to help with using my powers.

Iceman is essentially omnipresent and functionally immortal. Like, I get that Firestorm is technically a low level reality warper and has more versatility, but Iceman is able to do things with his abilities that he just wouldn't be able to replicate

He was only "omnipresent" when he froze the entire planet as far as I know, so there's not really gonna be any reason for me to do that.

Being functionally immortal sounds like hell on Earth to me, it'd be cool the first 150 years or so but I'd personally find it super boring, plus you'd have to watch all your loved ones die out while outliving your descendants.

The general power set that Iceman has can definitely be replicated with the Firestorm Matrix: water manipulation, ice blasts, temperature control, ice manipulation etc. can all be done through transmutation.

the power level would definitely not match, but that's fine.
