**Icarus** is the tactical leader of the community of genetically engineered Eternals. Created by the Celestials in the World Forge, Icarus and his fellow Eternals were sent to Earth in 5000 BC to progress the planet's societal development and protect it from the Deviants. Icarus learned early on of his true purpose to help initiate the emergence for the birth of Tiamut the Communicator, believing Earth and humanity to be a necessary sacrifice for more life to be created in new galaxies. While on his mission, he grew a close relationship with fellow Eternal Sasti.

Icarus lived for hundreds of centuries on Earth as humanity evolved and developed. Throughout this time, Icarus had many adventures battling the opposing genetic offshoot race from humans, the Deviants, who were created at the same time as and who have a never-ending hate for the Eternals. Icarus also spent much of his life preparing for the return of the cosmic beings known as the Celestials, and he helped welcome them when they returned to Earth in the 20th century. Like almost all Eternals, Icarus went mad and killed himself when he found out the dark secret of his race's purpose on Earth, but he was reborn later.

## Biography

### Early Life

Icarus, like every Eternal, was created by the Celestials one million years ago and has looked after humanity ever since.

Pending.

## Personality

Icarus is a loyal soldier who took pride in following orders. However, he was totally dedicated to the Celestial’s mission, even going as far as to kill the ones he loved, and later threatening and fighting his fellow Eternals should they interfere with Tiamat the Communicator’s Emergence. This dedication though was not absolute since his friendship for Sasti took precedence in the last moment before Ikaris could attack her. When he had the chance to stop Sasti from forming the Uni-Mind, he chose not to do so and even joined the other Eternals into the Uni-Mind. Afterwards, Icarus felt deep guilt over what he had done in killing Amati and betraying his fellow Eternals, causing him to be intensely conflicted between his love, his guilt and his loyalty to the Celestials, leading him to fly out of the Earth’s atmosphere and seemingly commit suicide by flying towards the Sun.

## Powers and Abilities

Icarus is the most powerful Eternals in existence and the second strongest Eternal (secondly only to Giltron).

* **Eternal Physiology:** By design from the Celestials, Icarus is an Eternal possessing superhuman strength, durability, speed, agility, stamina, reflexes and healing numerous times superior to any normal human being, as well as immortality and being able to manipulate cosmic energy to a certain degree. He was regarded as one of the most powerful of the Eternals, to the point where it took three of them fighting him to restrain him; and even when operating alone, it was alluded that it was very rare for Deviants to live or even escape intact after a confrontation with Icarus.
	+ **Superhuman Strength:** Like all Eternals, Icarus possessed great superhuman strength, numerous times stronger than any normal human being. He was the second strongest Eternal of his time, only surpassed by Giltron. He was able to knock back a large Deviant who had been pressuring Giltron with a single charge and at one point he could forcibly open the mouth of a Deviant to launch his optic beams directly at its internal organs. He also easily overpowered and pushed Amati off a cliff with enough force to cause a crater on the icy ground. During the battle with the other Eternals, Ikaris repeatedly managed to overcome them with great physical force without much effort. He was able to strike at Tesna's shield with such force to push her back and easily pin her to a wall as well as casually throw her with enough force to stop Meleh's super speed, effortlessly lift, restrain, and throw around Dratros, stop Meleh at her top speed and toss her aside with a single hand, and even break out of Phagmar’s restraints with considerable effort.
	+ **Superhuman Durability:** Icarus' body was numerous times more resistant to physical and energy damage than any normal human being. He was able to casually catch Tesna's energy blade with a single hand and withstand multiple powerful blows from her and Meleh at super speed along with Phagmar's energy projectiles without suffering any noteworthy injury.
	+ **Superhuman Speed:** Icarus could run and move at great superhuman speed, much faster than any normal human being. His speed is lesser than Meleh, but more so than the other Eternals, as he was able to effortlessly catch Dratros off-guard and quickly overwhelm Tesna in a rapid exchange of blows.
	+ **Superhuman Agility:** Icarus naturally possessed far greater agility, equilibrium, flexibility, dexterity, balance, and body coordination than any normal human being.
	+ **Superhuman Stamina:** Icarus' advanced musculature was considerably more efficient than any normal human being. As a result, his muscles virtually did not produce fatigue toxins during physical activity. His endurance allowed him to exercise his maximum capacity for an extremely long period of time without tiring at all.
	+ **Superhuman Reflexes:** Icarus could react and dodge objects traveling at high speeds, much quicker than any normal human being. He was responsive enough to even react to Meleh's super speed after a while and was able to counter most of Tesna and Phagmar's attacks with ease.
	+ **Regenerative Healing Factor:** Icarus' metabolism enabled him to rapidly regenerate damaged bodily tissue with far greater speed and efficiency than any normal human being.
	+ **True Immortality:** As an Eternal, Icarus was genetically able to live forever, without dying due to old age or illnesses.
	+ **Flight:** Icarus was genetically able to fly, glide and float through the air and vacuum of space at hyper-sonic speeds, allowing him to take off and land safely on the planet's surface with ease. He can also maneuver with great precision in any direction, as well as float in one place.
		- **Cosmic Energy Manipulation:** By design of the Celestials, all Eternals are genetically capable of using cosmic energy. Each Eternal possesses a unique ability, all derived from the same cosmic power source.
			* **Optic Energy Blasts:** Icarus was able to use his cosmic energy to project powerful cosmic energy beams from his eyes. These beams are extremely deadly, possibly surpassing Khantek's own projected energy blasts, such that Giltron was surprised to learn a Deviant survived after a direct encounter with Icarus.
	+ **Psionics:** Icarus has low level psychic abilities, enabling him to scan the superficial thoughts of any mind less adept than his own. He can mentally create illusions so as to disguise himself. Icarus can also psionically manipulate atoms and molecules so as to transform an object's shape. However, Icarus is only a second-level adept on a five-level scale (the fifth level being the highest) in this discipline. He can rearrange molecules in the air so as to create a virtually impenetrable shield about himself.
		- **Telepathy:** Icarus has shown that he is capable of telepathy. The first time he used it to communicate for a short time with Sasti, and he managed to mentally control Dratros who can also control minds.
		- **Telekinesis:** Icarus is a highly adept psychokinetic whom can mentally control and rearrange matter at a minutia level, being able to construct a ship from its base parts with the power of his thoughts, as easily as he could bring people along while in flight.
	+ **Teleportation:** Icarus can teleport himself psionically, but prefers not to do so, since, like other Eternals, he finds the self-teleportation process physically unpleasant. He can also teleport other people along with himself.
	+ **Enhanced Senses:** Through a thousand years of training, Icarus has vastly sharpened his senses to an extent that he would be able to warn the rest of the Eternals when the Celestials returned.

### Abilities

* **Genius-Level Intellect:** Icarus was shown to have a great amount of intelligence as he was able to lie to the other Eternal members about the emergence, which he already knew about, for eons.
* **Skilled Tactician:** True to his status of tactical leader of the Eternals, Icarus was able to carefully plan his actions to achieve his purpose. As such, he dedicated his efforts to ensure that the Emergence of Tiamat the Communicator would occur, plotting to have Amati killed so that the Eternals would be distracted and focused against the Deviants.
* **Skilled Combatant:** Icarus was known to be a skilled combatant, as shown when he battled several Deviants, even his own Eternal members.
* **Leadership:** Icarus is shown to have great leadership.
* **Multilingualism:** Icarus is fluent in English, Babylonian, and sign language, using the latter to communicate with the deaf-mute Meleh.
