Fictional character biography

Sikorsky is the physician aboard the Starjammers’ starship, "The Starjammer." Sikorsky is a Chr'Ylite, an insectoid race, possessing two bulbous composite eyes, an iridescent green carapace, transparent insectile wings on top of their bodies and mantis-like appendages. Sikorsky resembles a very large dragonfly, or a very small helicopter. He is given the nickname Sikorsky by the Starjammer’s captain, Corsair for his resemblance to a Sikorsky helicopter. When he speaks, Sikorksy's words are usually captioned in a square box instead of a rounded word balloon, a technique that indicates an artificial or robotic voice. Whether this is because Sikorksy is somehow robotic in nature or simply requires advanced technology to communicate with other life forms has never been clarified.

Powers and abilities

Sikorsky can fly, can mentally scan the interiors of living beings’ bodies, and has high empathic ability.

Sikorsky has mastered medical science far more advanced than that of Earth. For example, he is responsible for moving Professor X's mind from a ravaged body into a freshly cloned, healthy one that could also walk.
