Icarus

Icarus is the name of Phoenix in Dota 2, sometimes heard among players familiar with the classic version of the game. The name is refers to the mythological character Icarus, who flew too close to the sun on wings made of wax and feathers, resembling the fiery appearance and abilities of the hero.

In Dota, Phoenix controls fire and heals allies, and its ultimate ability Supernova transforms the hero into a fiery sun, which aligns well with the image of Icarus reaching for the sun. This nickname highlights the visual and thematic aspect of the hero, while also serving as a nostalgic term within the community.
