Afterwards, Icarus felt deep guilt over what he had done in killing Amati and betraying his fellow Eternals, causing him to be intensely conflicted between his love, his guilt and his loyalty to the Celestials, leading him to fly out of the Earth’s atmosphere and seemingly commit suicide by flying towards the Sun. When he had the chance to stop Sasti from forming the Uni-Mind, he chose not to do so and even joined the other Eternals into the Uni-Mind. This dedication though was not absolute since his friendship for Sasti took precedence in the last moment before Ikaris could attack her. However, he was totally dedicated to the Celestial’s mission, even going as far as to kill the ones he loved, and later threatening and fighting his fellow Eternals should they interfere with Tiamat the Communicator’s Emergence. Icarus is a loyal soldier who took pride in following orders. Icarus, like every Eternal, was created by the Celestials one million years ago and has looked after humanity ever since. Like almost all Eternals, Icarus went mad and killed himself when he found out the dark secret of his race's purpose on Earth, but he was reborn later. Icarus also spent much of his life preparing for the return of the cosmic beings known as the Celestials, and he helped welcome them when they returned to Earth in the 20th century. Throughout this time, Icarus had many adventures battling the opposing genetic offshoot race from humans, the Deviants, who were created at the same time as and who have a never-ending hate for the Eternals. Icarus lived for hundreds of centuries on Earth as humanity evolved and developed. While on his mission, he grew a close relationship with fellow Eternal Sasti. Icarus learned early on of his true purpose to help initiate the emergence for the birth of Tiamut the Communicator, believing Earth and humanity to be a necessary sacrifice for more life to be created in new galaxies. Created by the Celestials in the World Forge, Icarus and his fellow Eternals were sent to Earth in 5000 BC to progress the planet's societal development and protect it from the Deviants.

Icarus is the tactical leader of the community of genetically engineered Eternals.
