The Philosopher's Stone is a legendary alchemical substance capable of turning base metals into gold. It was also capable of creating the elixir of life that provides the user immortality.
History
At some point during this period, Diablo briefly held and lost the Philosopher's Stone. Despite all his power, Diablo's enemies were many and he was soon forced to flee Spain, apparently losing the Philosopher's Stone in the process.[1]
The Philosopher's Stone ended up in a museum in Chicago, where it was dismissed as a mere trinket by one of the curators, Doctor Baker. Khem stole the stone and, using it and a coded mathematical formula transcribed by Benjamin Banneker, produced an elixir that merged her with the Philosopher's Stone, giving her the power of transmutation without reliance on the technology invented by her father, Curtis. Ironheart overloading Khem's armor and powers separated Khem from the Philosopher's Stone, but only partially, with a piece of it remaining in Khem while the other half that was ejected from her body was given to the Fantastic Four.[2]Properties
