At the beginning of the first game, Pit began as a young angel boy, trapped in the [[Underworld]]. Palutena, the Goddess of Light, had been imprisoned, so she entrusted Pit with a magical [[Bow]] and the duty of gathering the [[Three Sacred Treasures]], defeating the Dark Goddess [[Medusa]] and saving [[Angel Land]]. Pit must journey through the Underworld, [[Overworld]], [[Skyworld]], and finally, the [[Palace in the Sky]] in order to gather the Three Sacred Treasures and free Palutena. | At the beginning of the first game, Pit began as a young angel boy, trapped in the [[Underworld]].

In ''Kid Icarus: Of Myths and Monsters,'' Pit is charged with training for the defense of Angel Land, after Palutena foresees an invasion of demons led by a monster called [[Orcos]]. The training involves the Three Sacred Treasures, which Pit must unite. However, because of a dire emergency, Palutena had entrusted the Three Sacred Treasures to the fortress guardians. To prevent Orcos's invasion, Pit must once again obtain the Three Sacred Treasures. | In ''Kid Icarus: Of Myths and Monsters,'' Pit is charged with training for the defense of Angel Land, after Palutena foresees an invasion of demons led by a monster called [[Orcos]].

A return to the series as the flagship title with the Nintendo 3DS. Twenty-five years after the first game (referencing the real-life gap between the NES classic and ''Uprising''), Medusa is revived by her minions. A now-teenage Pit is tasked with defeating Medusa and her army of monsters by Palutena, who gives Pit the [[Power of Flight]], which allows him to fly for five minutes before his wings burn up. This allows him to get between the various areas where he fights the army on the ground. Along the way, he'll not only use the Bow to fight his foes, but will also gather a large new repertoire of weapons with both long and short-ranged capabilities, showing off a few new tricks. | A return to the series as the flagship title with the Nintendo 3DS.

In the ''Subspace Emissary | In the ''[[smashwiki:Subspace Emissary|Subspace Emissary]]'', Pit is first seen watching [[mariowiki:Mario|Mario]] and [[wikirby:Kirby|Kirby]] battling on a stadium through a [[Reflecting Pool]] in Skyworld. When he sees the stadium get engulfed by Subspace, Palutena appears and sends him to defeat the Subspace army, giving him his bow. Pit soon meets Mario, who was knocked out of the stadium by [[mariowiki:Petey Pirahna|Petey Piranha]], the act of which turned him into a trophy before he landed in the Sea of Clouds near Skyworld. Pit and Mario quickly team up and set out to defeat the Subspace army. They eventually form a larger party of fighters with [[zeldawiki:Link|Link]], [[mariowiki:Yoshi|Yoshi]] and Kirby, which joins up with other characters later in the story. | ||

However, he and most of the others are rescued by King Dedede, Luigi and Ness, who had been absent in the invasion. Pit takes part in the final battle against Tabuu with all the other characters. | Eventually, all the characters, with the exception of [[mariowiki:Luigi|Luigi]], [[wikibound:Ness|Ness]] and [[wikirby:King_Dedede|King Dedede]] (and [[smashwiki:Sonic|Sonic]], who only appears at the end, as well as [[bulbapedia:Jigglypuff|Jigglypuff]], [[zeldawiki:Link|Toon Link]], and [[lylatwiki:Wolf|Wolf]], the three of whom are absent from the storyline altogether) join up and invade the Subspace, only to get turned into trophies by [[smashwiki:Tabuu|Tabuu]].

Pit appeared as one of the main characters in the cartoon, ''[[wikipedia:Captain N: The Game Master|Captain N: The Game Master]]''. Here, he was referred to as "Kid Icarus" and, after initial suspicion, became Kevin's loyal sidekick next to Duke. He was voiced by [http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0432228/ Alessandro Juniali]. Pit is drawn with a comically larger head (with a massive cowlick) in comparison to the rest of his body and is constantly in flight, as though he already possessed the [[Wings of Pegasus]]. He has a tendency to append the catchphrase "-icus" to words (and sometimes maximus for large things) and speaks as a young teenager just hitting puberty. No longer satisfied with normally deadly arrows, Pit has a large selection of different projectiles in his quiver with a large variety of functions, and he always seems to have the right one for the job (ranging from saw-bladed arrows to pizza arrows); sometimes, however, he pulls the wrong arrow and simply must make do with whatever he drew. One episode was centered on the plot of ''Kid Icarus'', with the team trying to collect the Three Treasures. Kid Icarus came from the "Mount Icarus" realm. | Pit appeared as one of the main characters in the cartoon, ''[[wikipedia:Captain N: The Game Master|Captain N: The Game Master]]''.

In this appearance, he was depicted playing a violin or viola in the ending. This may be a pun on his choice of weapon, as the tool used for playing a stringed instrument is also called a bow. | Pit appeared in the official Nintendo version of ''[[Wikipedia:Tetris|Tetris]]'', as an instrument player alongside [[metroidwiki:Samus Aran|Samus]] of [[metroidwiki:Metroid (series)|''Metroid'']] fame and several of Nintendo's other characters.

*There are not any proper angels in Greek mythology, but there is one archer with wings; Pit bears a very striking resemblance to the cherubic [[wikipedia:Eros|Eros]] (also known as [[wikipedia:Cupid|Cupid]] in Roman mythology), the god who would inspire love by shooting people with arrows. In popular culture, Eros/Cupid is often depicted as having arrowheads shaped and colored like hearts due to his love motif, and some of Pit's art and his trophy from ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'' depict his arrowheads as looking like hearts. | *There are not any proper angels in Greek mythology, but there is one archer with wings; Pit bears a very striking resemblance to the cherubic [[wikipedia:Eros|Eros]] (also known as [[wikipedia:Cupid|Cupid]] in Roman mythology), the god who would inspire love by shooting people with arrows.

**Pit's own name seems to be derived from Cupid himself, particularly from the ''pid'' part of Cupid. There is evidence to this as seen in the Japanese version of ''Uprising''. In Chapter 11, Viridi mentions that Pit's name (which is ピット ''Pitto'' in Japan) is unoriginal because he resembles Cupid (キューピット ''Kyūpitto''). | **Pit's own name seems to be derived from Cupid himself, particularly from the ''pid'' part of Cupid.

*Pit also draws inspiration from Icarus, the figure for whom the series is named: For example, at the end of ''Kid Icarus: Of Myths and Monsters'', Pit flies up toward the sun, and his wings fall off. This alludes to the story of Icarus, whose wax-and-feather wings allowed him to fly, but, caught up in the moment, he disobeyed his father, Daedalus, and flew too close to the sun, causing the wax holding the wings together to fall off, causing him to plummet to his death. A similar allusion is made in ''Uprising'', when Palutena notes that the Power of Flight can only sustain Pit for five minutes before his wings burn up, causing him to fall, and he must reach his destination before that happens. | *Pit also draws inspiration from [[wikipedia:Icarus|Icarus]], the figure for whom the series is named: For example, at the end of ''Kid Icarus: Of Myths and Monsters'', Pit flies up toward the sun, and his wings fall off.

*And finally, Pit draws inspiration from Biblical angels. Angels in the Bible are commonly depicted as benevolent messengers and guardians. Pit's position as Palutena's bodyguard and a protector of humans fits as a role of a guardian angel. There are also hints of Pit being a messenger, however he has never really been seen doing such tasks in games. | *And finally, Pit draws inspiration from Biblical angels.
