AEGIS Notations for Icarus Authorized Personnel Only

When Aleksandr Pelagiya was ten years old, he decided he wanted to be Pilot, the world's first superhero. Pilot had rescued Aleksandr’s home town of Drova from a band of mercenaries when the collapsing Party refused to send help, choosing to keep their soldiers in Russia for an impending political standoff. Pilot showed up, sheltering everyone with a force shield as he tossed the mercenary’s heavily armed trucks aside and pummeling mercenaries until they surrendered to the forces that included his father and uncle.

In the ensuring years, his father praised the Zaschitniki, aka the Guardians, as the heroes of the Russian and Ukrainian peoples. A few short years later, however, he changed his opinion when the Russians chose to keep their precious Guardians at home when the Ukraine faced hardship and disaster from the Pogrebalnyy Zvon, known in English as the Death Knell. Pilot was no longer around, being imprisoned for crimes against the American government. The Ukraine had no one, and so it suffered. Aleksandr's father, attempting to stave off disaster, died trying to rescue some people from an attack by the Death Knell. Aleksandr felt horrible guilt, having been away serving in the military.

When Aleksandr heard of a program being started by the Ukrainian military looking for volunteers for a dangerous experiment, he volunteered. He had an exemplary record and he had what they referred to as a "compatible gene profile" for their project. In less than a year from the death of his father, Aleksandr had become a Quasar with fire powers and the ability to rise from total destruction. As the Copper Phoenix, he joined Team Proknovst, named for the general who sponsored the program. Along with Old Guard, Deadly Owl, and Gamma Fist, they become righteous protectors of the Ukraine and its neighbors. Copper Phoenix had more than a few encounters with the Guardians, and in spite of his disdain for them, he fell in love with Aliana Lanina, also known as Volna, the Wave. The scientist Anton Vampushnyy, also known as Arsus, the Bear, however, did not appreciate your attentions toward his team mate. You have had a bitter rivalry since then – and even after he suffered a setback and became trapped in the form of the Bear following the Q-Games attack, he has had the attention of Aliana and you hate him.

After the events of the 2022 Q-Games when Gothmog, a Lambda level fire-spewing villain attacked the stadium, Copper Phoenix stood toe-to-toe with the villain for long, agonizing seconds -- resisting his blasts and striking him as he could, in spite of Gothmog's immunity to fire. When Copper Phoenix reformed after the battle, he heard the death toll of attack was in the hundreds, many of those Quasars. Two of his team, the Deadly Owl and Gamma Fist, perished in the attack. Team Proknovsk was little more than a partnership now -- and when AEGIS mandated that the remainder of Team Proknovsk team up with the Guardians, Aleksandr refused. He knew he could not fight alongside his most bitter rival and the women he loved.

AEGIS Director Elaine Battle approached with an opportunity, a new team being created in the United States, a team to take the place of the fallen Team USA and the ostracized Team Daedalus. They would be called Team Icarus. He jumped at the opportunity to continue to serve as a hero, even if it was not for his beloved Ukraine.
