Take two identical critical masses freeze one, super heat the other, cause both of them to go critical, just before they go critical which one has the most mass? If there is a difference in mass what is the difference?

According to my calculation the mass and volume of the electron decrease at zero degre absolute.And its orbital velocity relative to the Nucleous of the atom aproaches the speed of light.
When you heat or cool a mass structure it undergoes equilibrium changes which is called changes of phase. It you add super energy to the atom , the electron increases in mass till it escapes from the atomic structure and you will lose electrons and the result is an ionized atom which is a phase called plasma. The Classical Greek Philosophers in their crude description of matter really indicated the plasma phase

Mass is a measure of energy content as explained by Einstein, E=mc^2. When you cool something you remove energy. When you heat it you add energy. That does change the mass, but only by a very tiny amount. The exact amount depends on the specific heat of the material.
I don't know what you mean by "go critical" and have ignored that. All the other answers so far are wrong.

Changing temperature does not change mass. If the masses were the same at the start, they remain the same.
