You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 3.85.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 21:48, 22 February 2026.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''Elixir''' ('''Joshua''' "'''Josh'''" '''Foley''') is a fictional character appearing in [[American comic book]]s published by [[Marvel Comics]]. The character is usually depicted as a student at the [[X-Mansion|Xavier Institute]].

==Publication history==
He first appeared in ''[[New Mutants]]'' vol. 2 #5 and was created by [[Nunzio DeFilippis]], [[Christina Weir]], and [[Keron Grant]].<ref>((cite book |last1=DeFalco |first1=Tom |last2=Sanderson |first2=Peter |last3=Brevoort |first3=Tom |last4=Teitelbaum |first4=Michael |last5=Wallace |first5=Daniel |last6=Darling |first6=Andrew |last7=Forbeck |first7=Matt |last8=Cowsill |first8=Alan |last9=Bray |first9=Adam |title=The Marvel Encyclopedia |date=2019 |publisher=DK Publishing |isbn=978-1-4654-7890-0 |page=121))</ref>

==Powers and abilities==
Elixir is an [[Omega-level mutant]], capable of controlling the biological structure of any organic matter including his own body.<ref name="NM12">''New Mutants'' vol. 2 #12</ref> He must be in proximity to whomever he uses his power on. Besides healing, he is capable of boosting and restoring mutant abilities,<ref name="NM10">''New Mutants'' vol. 2 #10</ref> causing painful boils and welts to appear, manipulating the life-forces of others, creating tumors,<ref>((Cite book|title=X-Force: Necrosha))</ref> curing the Legacy Virus,<ref>''X-Force'' vol. 3 #10</ref> causing death, and cleansing the body of drugs.<ref>''X-Force'' vol. 3 #3</ref> Later, after his powers were expanded radically, he could even cure the M-Pox. 
The [[Stepford Cuckoos]] telepathically copied and transferred the [[Beast (comics)|Beast]]'s knowledge of anatomy, biology, and genetics into Josh's mind, allowing him the knowledge to heal virtually any malady.<ref>''New X-Men'' vol. 2 #38</ref>

Because of his control over his own biology, Elixir has proven to be very difficult to treat medically.<ref>''New X-Men'' vol. 2 #28</ref> He usually passes out after pushing his powers too far and remains in a coma for some time. Elixir is also virtually immortal as although he can be killed, his powers grant him the ability to resurrect himself, as well as the ability to be reborn into a new body. He can even regenerate on a cellular level.

Since his rebirth, Elixir's powers evolved to the point of bring people back from the dead as seen as when he was able to affect the 16 million deceased mutants on Genosha at once, and although it quickly drained him out of energy and he passed out, [[M (Marvel Comics)|Monet]] and Magneto speculated, that Elixir was fully capable of resurrecting them all but at the cost of his sanity.

He is also able to detect abnormalities in living beings: he detected techo-organic cells in Angel's body, detected Emplate in Monet's body and even sensed the effect of magical inversion on Sabretooth. When Josh started to cure the M-Pox he felt that the disease was afraid of him.

==Other versions==
===New X-Men: Too Much Information===
When David learns of a mental block within his head that prevents him from keeping the information he absorbs permanently, he asks for Emma Frost's aid in removing it. Working with Dani Moonstar, they show David a possible future outcome because of the mental blocks' removal. After leaving the Xavier Institute, David promises to help Josh find the full potential of his powers. Months later after establishing his own business, Josh is used to create a  cure to both cancer and AIDS. Although successful, it comes at the cost of his life.<ref>''New X-Men: Academy X'' #10</ref>

===House of M===
In the ''[[House of M]]'' reality, Josh was an agent of [[S.H.I.E.L.D.]], serving alongside Agent Kevin Ford ([[Wither (comics)|Wither]]) as interrogator. Foley and Ford were in charge of "persuading" [[Cameron Hodge]], a member of the Human Liberation Front, to reveal the location of his terrorist cell. Josh uses his power to "speed up the body's biological functions," and combined with Agent Ford's power, they are able to create a net effect that causes a part of the terrorist to die and then [[Regeneration (biology)|regenerate]], which Foley describes as "quite painful". Before Ford and Foley begin torturing Hodge, Agent Noriko Ashida ([[Surge (Marvel Comics)|Surge]]) interrupts them, prompting Ford and Foley to attack her. She incapacitates them both but Foley manages to use his power to rupture her blood vessels and cause her lungs to fill with blood.

==In popular culture==
* Elixir is referenced in the [[MC chris]] song, "Nrrrd Grrrl": "She's more like a wallflower, Like the one that Stryker sniped, I'm like Elixir when I'm with her, 'Cause I think I like her type."<ref>Ward, Chris. "Nrrrd Grrrl." Lyrics. ''mc chris is dead.'' mc chris LLC, 2008.</ref>
