A'Kurru U'mbaya (Earth-616) VS Aaron Soames (Earth-616)

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.

Aaron Soames, 65, was deprived of his 35-year pension from Cordco, Incorporated when his legal records were accidentally destroyed and his employer Edwin Cord refused to acknowledge his claim. Soames stole an armor developed by Cord Conglomerate for the United States government. While trying to take revenge on Cord, Soames came to blows with Daredevil. Finally cornering Cord in front of the hero, Soames took his revenge - but not by killing his target. Rather, he destroyed Cord's ID cards and legal papers from his wallet, symbolically paying back his ex-employer for his betrayal. Right afterward, Soames was killed by Cord's security men firing a concussion beam which pierced his armor. Daredevil, in his civilian identity as Matt Murdock, was one of the few mourners at Soames' funeral.
