HISTORY

A legendary supernatural object with the power to transmute the elements. One fragment of the Philosopher's Stone was found by Dr. Albert Desmond, who used it to become the super-villain Doctor Alchemy (I). (It was also used by his "followers", Dr. Alchemy II and III.)

Another fragment of the stone was in the possession of Jason Blood and once transformed Morgaine Le Fey into an Egyptian-style mummy. Still another fragment has been seen in the weapon collection owned by the Scavenger (II).

Although Lex Luthor once possessed a powerful object he called the "Philosopher's Stone", this was not the real thing, but a camouflaged Worlogog - Metron's "map" of time and space from the 853rd century.
