Fortune's Shawn Tully peers deep inside the brain of Carl Icahn, who now portrays himself as a billionaire Robin Hood, hounding CEOs and enriching shareholders to the tune of $50 billion.

Whether his prescriptions fit his target companies perfectly is a matter of debate. What's clear is that of all the activists, from Eddie Lampert to Nelson Peltz, it's Icahn who's pursuing the largest number of prominent companies in the widest spectrum of industries, from oil and gas to hotels to pharmaceuticals to real estate to auto parts. Icahn is also taking on bigger prey than anybody else - notably Time Warner  and Motorola - proving almost singlehandedly that a huge market cap is no longer an impenetrable defense.

U.S. billionaire investor Carl Icahn wants Motorola Inc (MOT) to return more of its $12 billion in cash to shareholders and take on more debt. Motorola said earlier in the day that Icahn would seek a seat on its board and has taken a 1.4 percent stake in the world's second biggest handset maker.

The financier believes Motorola should take on a buyback possibly in the form of Dutch tender, for as much as one-third of its market capitalization, according to the cable channel. Share of Motorola Inc. leaped more than 6% Tuesday after Carl Icahn, the wealthy investor famed for his involvement in corporate proxy fights, indicated he would seek nomination to the company's board. Icahn typically invests in companies he believes are undervalued or improperly managed. Motorola (MOT) stock fell sharply this month after a 48% decline in fourth-quarter profit. It now trades nearly 30% below its one-year peak.
