Significant Issues
The Elixir of the Rock of Etam was given to the Deacon from the Ark of Bezalel right before he went into battle against Ghost Rider (Ghost Rider #25, 2008)


When the Ark of Bezalel was presented to the violent offender known only as the Deacon, after he was liberated from solitary confinement in a maximum security Texas penitentiary by a prison guard in the service of Zadkiel, he reached into the Ark and was first given the Elixir of the Rock of Etam. The guard explained how one sip would grant the Deacon the strength of the Biblical Samson, and it can only be presumed he drank some of the tonic because the Deacon was able to fight toe-to-toe with Ghost Rider. After the Deacon was defeated, the Elixir of the Rock of Etam was never retrieved by Blaze, so it is possible the Deacon still has it in his possession.
