I was just thinking about Icarus today! You see, I've always thought of him as *censored*
EDIT: I have decided not to 'go there'. My feelings on Icarus are already well-documented and there's no need for hysterical bleating at this time of night.

#22 Elena Ivanova
Real Name: Elena Ivanova
First appearance: Wolverine #68
Last appearance: Maverick #12
Powers: Elena is a telepath who has psychometric telepathic abilities, can scan psionic images, initiate memory playbacks, and create mental illusions.
Status: Missing! Damnit!
Creator: Larry Hama and Mark Texiera
Bio:
Elena is the daughter of Epsilon Red, a Russian Telepath/psi talent, who operated in the 1960’s. Wolverine was sent to kill him, but before Ole Logan can put Epsilon Red in the ground, Sabretooth steps in and tells him that the mission is scrubbed. Sabretooth then kills Epsilon Red’s pregnant wife. The kiddo that was born from her dead body (Fun!) was the fantastic lady known as Elena Ivanova.
Later, in the present, Elena Ivanova is searching for her mom’s killer. She’s got a total mad on for Sabretooth. She meets up with Maverick and the two agree to find and kill him dead. Unfortunately, Maverick was really sick and was dying from the Legacy Virus. Maverick actually succumbs to the disease and dies, but Elena uses her psi talent to bring him back to life and actually puts his disease into remission. After several adventures helping Maverick, Elena gets a lead on Sabretooth. It turns out to be a trap and she’s rescued again by Maverick. Elena was severely wounded by the scoundrel that is Sabretooth and falls into a coma.
She awakes from her coma AND………..(wait for it..)…………………………………
Is never Effing heard from again. Sabretooth’s dead, so she’s likely drinking vodka somewhere. It’s unknown if she retained her powers after M Day.
Did you know?: Elena’s pops is still alive and got his powers from the same organization that Omega Red did. I wonder if there are other Red’s out there?
I loved, loved, loved this character. The tragedy that befell even the circumstances of her birth. The fact that she had the stones to deal with Omega Red to even get close to someone just as, even if not more dangerous, in Sabretooth. Hell, how many women in the Marvel Universe would trudge through the old Morlock Tunnels looking for Creed?
Factor in the sexual tension she had with Maverick, and she was one of the neatest female characters that was just dropped off the face of the Marvel Universe. It would've been nice to see her at the Red Room in the Uncanny arc from #496-499, or maybe as one of the new Winter Guard that's been in Iron Man and Hulk the past few months. But yeah, she is an awesome forgotten telepathic treasure.
Any writer who needs a telepath who has some knowledge of black ops, or espianoge... use this gal. She's too good to be wasted. I don't care if it's a cameo in a Black Widow miniseries, and that's all... but work with what you've got, because she's got a lot of personality for someone obscure.

- the best there is at what i do -
!!!!!
Couldn't agree more. I love Elana. She's definately a character who I think could possibly be quite fun to work with in the MU. Especially with all the focus on black-ops and espionage in the MU. Heck, stick her into X-Force. That'd be awesome to see. I wanna see more 'Red's' come out of that program.
I dunno who Elena is, but she seems kewl.
Whatever happened to Kylun?
