Elijah Cross is a fictional character in the Marvel Comics universe. He first appeared in "X-Factor" vol. 3 #17 as a de-powered mutant, who lost his powers as a result of M-Day.

Fictional character biography

Little is known about Elijah Cross, other than his role as leader of the terrorist group of former mutants called X-Cell, who believe mutants lost their powers as a result of a government conspiracy.

Cross was to be apprehended by S.H.I.E.L.D. to face allegations of sending a government official a toy elephant that nearly choked him to death, but Rictor and Wolfsbane intervened, believing the agents to be the criminals in the altercation.

Afterwards, Cross went to former mutant Quicksilver, asking him if he could return his powers to him using the Terrigen Crystals embedded in Quicksilver's skin. Cross regained his powers for a short time afterward and used them to fight X-Factor. In the middle of the fight, Cross began to smoke and then exploded as a result of the Terrigen Crystals.

Powers and abilities

Elijah Cross had the ability to increase his mass without being constrained by gravity, allowing him to move at speeds normal to a person of his regular body weight.
