Ultraseven


The Icarus aliens were an advanced race. They planned to invade Earth using the 4th dimension. A man (Icarus) was the neighbor of a young boy. The young boy knew he was an alien. Nobody believed him until they saw a bird floating in the air that was not moving or falling. Dan Moroboshi aka Ultraseven, came to investigate. When he jumped out a window, Dan was in a dimension with yellow balloons where the neighbor revealed that he was an Icarus. He planned to take over Earth with his giant size and saucer. He then ordered his saucer to attack an oil district. Dan realized he could not use his capsule monsters or transform. Dan knew that he had to destroy the alien device. Dan was now in a forest along with the alien man. The alien man became a towering Icarus. Dan became Ultraseven! Now the fight began. Icarus tried to attack but, Ultraseven dodged. Icarus' ship attacked but, Ultraseven hid behind a mountain. Icarus and the saucer had him pinned down until, the Ultra Garrison attacked the ship. Icarus began to shoot his energy rays, but Ultraseven managed to dodge and kick Icarus high into the air. Ultraseven threw the eye slugger at him, greatly injuring Icarus. Ultraseven tossed Icarus over the mountain, via telepathy. Icarus' saucer tried to retreat but, was shot down.

New Ultraman Retsuden
His appearence in Ultraseven was referenced by his son and his fiery friend in Episode 11 but what they didn't know was that Alien Icarus is actually watching them talk on TV with a Dark Dummy Spark in his hand. He then curses Ultraseven, his son, and his son's friend for the wound on his chest that was inflicted by Ultraseven's Eye Slugger. In episode 12, he was seen sneaking up on Hikaru Raido and Ultraman Taro as they talk about Tyrant and all of the monsters that make up the chimera. When Ultraman Taro, could not remember the monster that makes up Tyrant's ears, the fiend shouts out loud and then his cover was blown. In Episode 13, He attempted to host the episode and talk about the rest of the monsters that make up Tyrant but after a beatdown by Hikaru, he teleports away to safety.

Ultraman Ginga Theater Special
Alien Icarus was a combatant of the Dark Spark War who was then turned into a Spark Doll by Dark Lugiel. Lugiel then Dark Lived him in the special so that he can be the successor to Alien Valkie as Lugiel's servant. He was first seen to Hikaru and his friends in the woods, while they were looking for the Spark Dolls that combine to form Tyrant, in front of Misuzu Isurugi and Kenta Watarai holding King Crab's Spark Doll. He refused to hand it over at first, but after a combination of Tomoya Ichijouji's Gunpad, Kenta's camera flash, and Ultraman Taro's Ultra Willpower, he was sent flying. Icarus was then seen scheming after Hikaru Raido and Chigusa Kuno left with Bemstar in Icarus' right hand and Seagoras in his left. He disguised himself as Misuzu to trick Hikaru into handing over the Spark Dolls but the Ginga Spark dispells his disguise and he chases after the group. Icarus then takes Misuzu hostage and steals the rest of the Spark Dolls (Hanzagiran, King Crab, Red King, and Barabas) so that he can Dark Live himself and the other Spark Dolls to form Tyrant. After Tyrant was defeated by Hikaru as Ultraman Tiga and Tomoya as Jean-nine, the monsters were turned back into Spark Dolls while Alien Icarus became his alive self again. Hikaru and his friends then tied up Icarus and demanded Icarus to tell him who his master is. No matter how many times Jean-nine blasted him, Icarus refused to tell him, but, suddenly, he was turned back into a Spark Doll by Dark Lugiel.

In episode 7 of the series, Icarus, along with many other kaiju and seijin, can be seen cheering Ultraman Ginga on as he fights Dark Galberos.

At the end of the series, it is likely that Icarus returned back into space as his original form after Ultraman Ginga defeated Dark Lugiel.
