Icarus

Icarus (Joshua "Jay" Guthrie) is a mutant superhero. He was a member of the student body at the Xavier Institute and a member of the New Mutants training squad. Jay was the son of Thomas and Lucinda Guthrie. Thomas dies early in Jay's life due to black lung, developed from working in local Kentucky coal mines. Jay's older siblings Sam (Cannonball) and Paige (Husk) are mutants as well, and both have been members of the X-Men. When he himself developed mutant powers, he hid them from his family. When performing in his band, he exposed his wings to the crowd as a 'stage gimmick'. Believed to be descended from the ancient race of Cheyarafim mutants, Icarus possesses red feathered, angel-like wings which allow flight and produce regenerative enzymes allowing him to recover from normally fatal injuries. When his wings were removed, he lost his healing factor. His voice is capable of producing sonic frequency beyond the range of human capability as well as creating multiple sounds or voices at once.

Icarus is among the 198 mutants who retain their powers after M-Day, when the Scarlet Witch depowered most mutants on Earth. However, William Stryker convinces him to remove his wings in exchange for his friends' safety before killing him.

Icarus is among the many mutants who are resurrected by the Five following the foundation of Krakoa as a sovereign nation.

Isca the Unbeaten

Isca the Unbeaten is a fictional character appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. Created by writer Jonathan Hickman and artist Pepe Larraz, she first appeared in ''X-Men'' (vol. 5) #12 (November 2020). She is a mutant whose powers prevent her from ever losing.

Isca lived on the ancient island of Okkara and was the younger sister of Genesis. When the Amenthi Daemons invaded the island and split it into Krakoa and Arakko, Isca initially fought alongside her fellow mutants. However, when it became clear that the forces of Annihilation were going to win, her powers compelled her to defect to the Daemons. After the entire mutant population and Arakko were sealed away in Amenth to stymie the invasion, Isca continued to fight against her people for Amenth. After millennia of battle, Annihilation sent Isca to her sister Genesis with a proposal for the queen of Arakko to face the dark ruler of Amenth in a duel to death and end the war. This was ultimately a trap: by killing Annihilation's host, Genesis was forced to become its new host in order to prevent the uncontrolled Daemons from destroying Arakko. Following Arakko's subjugation, Isca aided her lover Tarn the Uncaring in quelling dissent, imprisoning and torturing those who refused to submit to Annihilation.

Isca was among those recruited to fight in the X of Swords tournament on behalf of Arakko. She dueled Captain Britain in the first round and won, shattering her opponent into glass-like pieces. Though she won all subsequent challenges she participated in, the Krakoa team managed to win the tournament. Annihilation, refusing to accept defeat, summoned the full might of Amenth's forces to conquer Krakoa. Isca initially fought against the Krakoan mutants. When the arrival of the X-Men, the Captain Britain Corps, and the Vescora turned the battle in Krakoa's favor, her powers again compelled her to defect to the opposing side. At the battle's conclusion, Isca traveled to Earth with the rest of the Arakkii mutants and claimed a seat on Arakko's ruling body, the Great Ring of Arakko (though she abstained from voting so her powers would not influence other members' votes). She later assisted Magneto in terraforming Mars to be a suitable home for Arakko and traveled there when the island was relocated.

Isca's service in the Great Ring was marked by frequent ideological clashes with Storm, the new Regent of Arakko. During the duel between Magneto and Tarn for the latter's seat on the Great Ring, Sunspot tricked Isca into wagering against Tarn, resulting in her lover's death.

When the Eternals declared war on mutantkind and sent Uranos to attack Arakko, Isca's powers compelled her to defect to their side and she killed fellow Great Ring member Idyll the Future Seer. Nightcrawler teleported her to the ocean where Sobunar of the Depths kept her occupied fighting various sea monsters until Uranos was defeated. At the conflict's end, the Great Ring confronted Isca. Defiant, she threatened to take over the Ring until the Fisher King challenged her to a contest of understanding, in which the winner would be the one who truly understood loss. Though she had never experienced it since her powers manifested, Isca's powers granted her comprehension of loss. Realizing her mistakes, Isca subsequently resigned from the Great Ring and went into self-imposed exile.

After Genesis returned to Arakko and incited a civil war, Isca remained neutral, claiming Olympus Mons and the Tharsis Montes as her domain and killing any who trespassed, regardless of their allegiance.

Powers and abilities of Isca the Unbeaten

Isca is an Omega-level mutant with the power to never lose. Her powers will give her the skills required to win, manipulate probabilities in her favor, or slightly alter her appearance. In larger conflicts, she will be compelled to switch to the side that is most likely to win. Her power will also make her win even if victory is unfavorable for her. Isca's powers cannot be negated and they do not make her immune to dying or being killed if her death would result in her victory.

Isca is also very long-lived, having been alive for over 10,000 years.

In combat, she wields a sword named Mercy.
