History
The Eternal Ikaris once went by a different name. He had been married to a human woman from ancient Minos, Crete. He named his son Ikaris. The boy was given high tech wings fashioned by Phastos and Makkari, and his father intended to teach him how to use them but for years he was absent due to fighting with the Deviants. The son became impatient and wore the wings in a bid to find his father. He flew too high and lost consciousness due to lack of air. The father found the boy's body in time and chose to honor his son by taking his name. With the father being immortal, the son's name Ikaris would live on forever.[1]
