"I had an eye test, and it's definitely not me. It's him. Dad, nobody's face is a &*%$ing blur. Nobody human, anyway."
 * Amateur Sleuth: After replacing the murdered doctor, decided to investigate. Then there was "Suicide Blonde". After which the local cop advised him to stop before he successfully finds some criminal who will just shoot him.
 * Dream Sequence: When "Harry" was injured and on morphine, he was seeing a mix of landscape near Prudence and his home planet. Then another when he sees his fiance.
 * Dream Weaver: When Asta notified her father about weirdness, he took her on a dream world trip to "check on her doctor pal".
 * Glamour Failure: Nurse Asta doesn't see straight through the illusion, but sees his face as a blur, and even then only half the time. So she went to test her vision (which is perfect). Then she went to her father.


 * The Greys: A downplayed version. "Icarus" has typical "Sectoid" looks, but is purple-ish in color and not a midget by human standards, though not tall, either. And the same trait don't prevent his fiance (seen in flashbacks) from being a good-looking young lady by human standards.
 * Space Elf: Borderline. "Icarus" is a cool and fairly benevolent dude, whose overconfidence may be his worst enemy (especially when getting caught on camera is a risk), even though he's cautious and smart enough to avoid the worst pitfalls. Also, his Dream Sequence shows a very nice overgrown landscape. Amusingly, his confidence and poker face made him a very good small town doctor.
 * Healing Factor: Not clear if natural, augmentation or via Psychic Powers.
 * The Hermit: "Icarus", while capable of passing for a human, quite sensibly decided that it would be prudent to settle in Old Haskins cabin and deal with humans mainly via internet. And become "Dr. Harry Vanderspeigle", because not many Americans know exactly how Dutch accent sounds. Which worked for two years, then the only doctor in a nearby town was murdered, and the locals found themselves in need of basic forensics and some replacement.
 * Living Lie Detector: "Icarus"/Dr.Vanderspeigle, though not via Psychic Powers. It's just that he is very observant, and quickly learned to read human body language, and most humans are expressive.
 * Magical Native American: Asta, but then her father is a shaman (and… a mechanic).
 * Psychic Powers: Psychic camouflage and Telekinesis.
