![]() ![]() Man has always wanted to live a long, stress free and healthy life on earth. This Elixir is a mythical magical potion that cures all kinds of diseases, as well as granting immortal life to the drinker. Man’s search for immortality led in many directions, but the most prominent answer given by many fairy tales and folk tales is of an Elixir of Life, or Immortality. But, what exactly is the Elixir of Life, and where has all that searching got us? Such is man’s fantasy around achieving immortality that this search continues to this day. One such object that humans have searched for centuries is the Elixir of Life. People in these stories are often portrayed as questing to find some eccentric or fantastical object. In these tales, bygone people have mentioned things that pique our curiosity. Out of our historical accounts come such older tales that are difficult to believe, but which hold a tinge of fantasy. In our effort to connect with our roots and our curiosity, we show an interest in history and archaeology. Today, we know that we are not the first people to inhabit this planet. ![]() The quest for old scriptures, pieces of literature and artifacts stems from the human interest in finding out about those who have lived on earth before us. This way, the quest of one man leads into another. Many a time, the starting point has been the old accounts, writings, and literature that we have at hand. This often translates into a quest into the unknown, and this has led to the discovery of many wondrous things. Humans have a long life span during which they have the ability to think, understand and act on a certain curiosity. In particular, it sounds as though one of these books (The Marauders? Fallen Angels?) will focus on a team responsible for tracking down missing mutants and confirming their deaths before a clone is produced.The human race has always been fascinated with the possibility of immortality. What if Xavier mistakenly believes one of his X-Men is dead and clones them, only for the original to show up alive and well? What if he attempts to transmit the recorded memories of one X-Man into the body of a different X-Man? While we don't get answers to these questions in House of X #5, the implication is that they may form the basis for some of Marvel's upcoming Dawn of X comics.

It seems Xavier has even more ambitious plans for his new resurrection machine. And now we know the truth behind that strange opening flash-forward sequence way back in House of X #1. Cyclops and his team may have died on Sol's Hammer, but they're quickly resurrected and greeted by a grateful mutant nation. He can imprint those memories into the clone bodies, effectively bringing the original versions back to life. ![]() The reason Xavier has been wearing his Cerebro helmet constantly is that he's been using it to copy and record the minds of every single mutant on Krakoa. (Image Credit: Marvel Comics)The only trick is cloning mutants with their old memories intact. When those eggs are energized by Proteus, rendered genetically ripe by Elixir, incubated by Tempus and topped off by Hope's power of mutant synergy, they can be transformed into pods capable of producing cloned mutant bodies.Īrt by Pepe Larraz. This issue reveals that the "balls" Fabio shoots from his chest are actually eggs. He and four other mutants (Proteus, Elixir, Tempus and Hope) are the key to a process that can bring dead mutants back to life. Professor Xavier, Magneto and Moira MacTaggert may have finally succeeded in preventing mutantkind's Sentinel-dominated future, but only thanks to the sacrifice of Cyclops, Jean Grey, Wolverine, Nightcrawler and several others. House of X #5 follows up on a tragic development for the X-Men, as Cyclops and his entire team were killed during a mission to destroy the Mother Mold Sentinel factory. ![]()
