"By Their Own Bootstraps"
The introduction and origin of Milestone Comic's Icon, and his sidekick/inspiration Rocket.
While committing a burglary in the suburbs with some of her friends, Raquel Ervin witnesses the powers of Augustus Freeman IV. She is inspired by his powers, and in return inspires him to become an "Icon" to the people of the Dakota's inner city by using his powers as a "super-hero". She, of course, will be his sidekick.
The Icon-ography (letter's page) included contests to win autographed copies of the "First Edition #1".
