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. However, when performing in his band, playing guitar, 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-colored, feathered angel-like wings which allow flight and produce extensive regenerative enzymes allowing him to recover from normally fatal injuries. However, this healing factor comes from his wings; when his wings were removed, he lost this ability. His voice is capable of producing sonic frequency beyond the range of human capability as well as creating multiple sounds or voices at once.

Jason Ionello was one of the popular students at Midtown High School. He would often pick on Peter Parker along with Flash Thompson, Liz Allan, Sally Avril and Tiny McKeever. Ironically, they all idolized Spider-Man and did not realize that he and Peter were one and the same. His pranks went too far when he stole Peter's clothes during gym, causing Flash and the gang to scold him. He then became determined to learn Spider-Man's identity so that he could earn the $1000 reward.^[3]

He was particularly close to Sally and asked her to aid him in trying to snap pictures of the wall-crawler. At one point Sally managed to flirt with the hero which caused Jason to become slightly jealous. He began calling him a menace and became even more determined to catch him, but after saving him from Electro he gave up this pursuit.^[4] While on their way to catch Spider-Man in his next epic fight, Jason tried to speed through a red light and collided with another vehicle. Sally was killed, but Jason only suffered mild head trauma.^[5] Jason was left feeling bitter and soon turned on Flash and his friends.^[6]

Jason and Tiny are given a welcome back party by Peter, but despite this he still refuses to accept Peter as a friend.^[7] He later saves Liz during a fight between Spider-Man and the Headsman.^[8] Jason once again becomes depressed and tries to commit suicide, but is stopped by the Vulture who convinces him to blame someone else for his problems. That someone else being Spider-Man.^[9] He dons a Spider-Man guise and starts vandalizing homes and buildings and brandishing a gun.
