Sikorsky
Real Name: UnknownAffiliation: Starjammers
Alternate-X Versions: None
Codename Etymology: Pronounced []; Last name of helicopter inventor Igor Sikorsky, probably so named by Corsair due to his body shape.
Powers: None uncommon to his race. Sikorsky is a superb healer of both organic and cybernetic systems, and as such functions as the Starjammer's physician. He looks like a green mechanical dragonfly of sorts with red eyes. In some ways, he also resembles a helicopter, which explains the name Corsair gave him. Sikorsky's medical expertise has been used by the X-Men a number of times. He saved Colossus when the young Russian had been pierced by Deathbird's spear, and cloned Professor X a new body when his original one turned into a Brood Queen. Later on, Sikorsky again saved Xavier when his cloned body failed. Unfortunately, the Starjammer was under heavy fire at the time and couldn't return Xavier to Earth, leading to his long exile with them in deep space. During that time, Sikorsky was fed a virus when he updated his medical records that turned him into a spy and saboteur for Deathbird. His actions caused the Starjammers to be trapped, but once his mission was completed, the virus was purged and Sikorsky was able to assist his friends once again. Curiously, he was not seen in the battle with the Uncreated.
