Icon Respect Thread

#1 Posted by Alpha (7310 posts) - 4 years, 9 months ago - Show Bio

I'm glad to see that the character is back. I thought he was a unique twist on Superman. I hope they do him justice and and not have him as a background character. I know the current writter of the Justice League (McDuffie) and Icon creator won't let that happen anytime soon.

Icon:
Flight, invulnerability, massive superhuman-strength, super-speed, reflexes, and stamina. Enhance mental perception and senses, regenerative-healing factor, longevity, ability to generate and project positron energy.

Why? I thought he is a good flip on Superman. More original than the others.

But u have to admit, it was a cool way to have one and still have the alein aspect of Superman. To have a alien to crash land and then assume the appearance of the first person it sees and for it to be a slave. Better than Marvel's attempt with Sentry.

The Sentry IMO is a far better character.He doesn't have all of Superman's powers like Hyperion and Gladiator and he's a schizophrenic.I think it's interesting that his whole storyline revolves around what he thinks or what he feels rather than what's acutally happeening.I like how he created the Void to be his archenemy and he ended up losing control of him.He's basically the greatest hero who everybody forgot.

I do like him. Most don't though and I don't get that.

But I like all of the Superman clones, since I'm a big fan of Superman.

Besides the Sentry and Majestic..I don't really like any of the other ones.icon has a cool storyline but the art in his comics is terrible.Makes it very hard to read..and he looks ridiculous in that costume.

I think Benes can do him some justice...he is a fairly good artist...but he does his best work on female characters.

@Vance Astro: 1. the series mostly focusses on Rocket. 2. he only has 1 or 2 of Superman's powers. He also has different powers. He is not the black Superman he is an Icon in comics.

I never veiwed Icon as a "Black Superman", if that's the case every alien being that lands on earth with superhuman strength and nigh invulnarability can be called a superman clone. The only way the Sentry get's away with it is because his back story differs making him an earth born being with artificial super powers. All and all his abilities are ment to be an exaggeration of the arch-type cape wearing superhero IE superman. His other powers are an obvious perversion to show a difference between the two, no different from Icon so I don't see how he's so much better than Icon aside from the bad drawing and uninteresting storyline...I like icon though, I put him closer to Majestic than superman. In fact the only common things Icon and superman share is an alien lineage that ends up on earth, but there are like 100 of those in the DC Universe. Icon is a aiight take on a black hero and I have seen more entertaining black hero's, but he's not a superman rip off...his cotume does suck though....

I recently picked up the trade. It was a great series. Way ahead of it's time.

He's not my Favorite Milestone creation, but he has he's some redeemable qualities. I mean, at least he was better than Dog from Blood Syndicate(even though in his defense, Dog was better written).

#26 Posted by YoungGunna (2439 posts) - 2 years, 2 months ago - Show Bio

Much respect Icon one my favorite characters

#27 Posted by Customizer (7 posts) - 2 years, 2 months ago - Show Bio

Indeed.

The claims of "Black Superman" are silly.
Is quicksilver the "other white Flash" because he has super speed? Are all characters with a similar power sets clones of the first character with that power set?
Of course not. Silly fanboys are silly.
