Mechanics

Two large wings, white and swan-like, grow from the bearer's back. They will carry him into the air, though not while he is dressed: the lift they generate falls short of hauling clothing along, so whatever he is wearing has to come off before takeoff.

The Quirk has one named Ultimate Move. Icarus Falling Ecstasy, described as a taboo technique, amounts to plunging from a great height in freefall.
