Who could forget the Nintendo game series "Kid Icarus"? The main protagonist, an angel made to represent and portray the character of Icarus from the Greek myth, is a courageous, but far from bright, lad named "Pit."

I am reminded of the Bastille song "Icarus" which is one of my favourites.
In the Fantasy series The Darkangel Trilogy by Meredith Ann Pierce, darkangels were also called icarus (singular) or icari (plural). This was a great name for them, since they were winged vampires.
