A'Kurru U'mbaya was a Wakandan bio-chemist who was empowered with the ability to transform his flesh into wood through his experiments. He used his powers to try to seize the throne. Shape-shifting: Icon has the power to transform his flesh into wood-- and his head appears elongated into an African mask. Although this wood seems more durable and impervious than normal wood, he is also able to control it to give him limited shape-shifting abilities, such as elongating his limbs and forming weapons with his hands. Icon can also cause a similar transformation in others-- transforming them into replicas of himself (without the shape-shifting abilities) under his direct control.
Aahmes was a Kushite lord in the city of Meroê, and the cousin of Queen Tananda.
Due to false accusation spread by Afari against him and the Black Spears commander Amboola, they were both suspected by Queen Tananda of plotting against her, and were arrested.
Amboola was killed by a demon released by the sorcerer Muru, agent of the actual plotter, Tuthmes,[1] but Aahmes' fate remained unknown. Search this site for: Aahmes (Earth-616).
