History
Elijah Cross was one of the thousands of mutants to be depowered due to the effects of M-Day. Believing the U.S. government to be responsible for M-Day, Elijah founded and lead the terrorist organization X-Cell.[1]
He was targeted by FBI agents and S.H.I.E.L.D. Cape-Killers.
Eventually, he sought out Quicksilver for help. Using the power of the Terrigen Crystals, Quicksilver was able to briefly repower Elijah and a few other members of X-Cell.[2]

During the battle, Elijah's body was overloaded by the Terrigen Crystals and he exploded, making the X-Cellers from their own fates.
