distinguish Bang Babies from other metahumans as well as normal humans. According to Icon, he possesses powers that all humans will possess once they evolve past their limitations. Icon possesses extraordinary longevity, enabling him to age at a much slower rate than human beings. Though centuries old, he appears to be around forty years old. Icon's lifespan is typical for a Terminan and the only power that is not the result of his genetic maximization. Skills Icon is among the Cooperative’s most celebrated mediators.
