However, after he learns that he is a mutant and his parents disown him, he instead joins the X-Men, becoming Prodigy's roommate at the Xavier Institute.

After Wolfsbane loses control of her powers and mortally wounds him, Elixir manages to heal himself, which turns his skin gold.

[3] Elixir is an Omega-level mutant, capable of controlling the biological structure of any organic matter including his own body.

Besides healing, he is capable of boosting and restoring mutant abilities,[6] and possesses a death touch that can swiftly kill others and temporarily turns his skin black.

Elixir is also virtually immortal due to his healing abilities enabling him to regenerate his body and resurrect himself if killed.
