Title:

Uncanny X-men Annual (2016)

Synopsis:
Balancing the Scales

Magneto, M, and Sabretooth discover that the grave of Elixir has been dug up. They track Elixir, whose powers have increased since his re-birth, to Genosha. There, he is resurrecting and killing the Dark Rider who murdered him, Gauntlet, over and over again. The X-Men confront him. He appears to bear a grudge for how they were not able to save him, although he remembers Monet holding him when he was shot. Elixir senses the change Emplate has given Monet and offers to free her from it. He asks the X-Men why they didn’t come to check on him sooner, before boasting that he plans to use his newfound ability to resurrect the dead to bring all the dead mutants from Genosha back to life. The X-Men watch and worry, but the strain is too much for him. Elixir passes out. Monet persuades Magneto not to assume Elixir would have resurrected the mutants as flesh-eating zombies, and that Elixir has been given a new shot at life.

They take him to a crisis medical center in Missouri that has been set up to assist mutants suffering from M-Pox. Elixir attempts to use his powers to heal the sick and dying, and it seemingly works – until his death-power overwhelms him and he starts to harm the mutants, the doctors caring for them, and then the X-Men. Before he can kill them, Elixir takes control of himself, and heals them in time. Despite the issues with his powers, Elixir did heal some of the sick mutants, and the X-Men agree that he can still be of use to them.

They take him to Xorn’s temple in Tibet, where Xorn starts to work on helping Elixir with his powers.

=======================
Lady Luck

Domino is in Ecuador when she gets a request from Sunspot to assassinate a man called Rojas, who had gone into hiding after he and his army massacred mutants dying from the Terrigen Mists. Rojas believes the mists to be a gift from god in purging the mutant race. Domino agrees to carry out Sunspot’s mission in exchange for him wiping the monetary debt she owes him for the weapons she borrowed from him. She works her way through Rojas’s base with ease, but when she has taken out all of his men, she finds herself without any bullets – until one she had lost earlier falls from a vent above her, into the gun which she then uses to shoot Rojas. When Domino completes the mission, she gives hints at being the one who gave Sunspot the intel about Rojas.
