"a nice legend but nobody believes they really exist…including me. Statues capable of becoming living avengers?"
―Indiana Jones[src]

The Ikons of Ikammanen were a legendary set of statues that could become animated to avenge the wicked. Indiana Jones didn't believe they were real; however, Charlie Dunne claimed that he and his sister Edith Dunne could prove they exist. When Charlie was killed, Jones searched his briefcase and finds a map and a photo of a shrine. The Ikons were discovered to exist on an island off the west coast of Africa, guarded by traps and fanatical warriors. They were found to be human skeletons encased in gold, made by the local natives who dipped captives into a vat of the molten metal. Uttering the words "Busda kanel day harg" brought the gold encrusted avengers to life. Jones, having learned this phrase through translating writing associated with the Ikons, used it to animate one that Edith Dunne had brought aboard her airplane. Jones parachuted from the plane, leaving Dunne, who was ultimately responsible for her brother's murder, to face the statue's wrath.
