* [[King in ~~The~~ Mountain]]: His body is perfectly preserved in a stasis field in the Ultramarines fortress-monastery, where pilgrims insist that he is healing.

It says something about the Imperium that the doubters concede that this is a good point.

* [[Power Fist]]: The Gauntlets of Ultramar.

* [[Slashed Throat]]: Courtesy of Fulgrim. And people insist it's healing. It must have been a hell of slash to endanger the extremely tough and massively redundant biology of the god-like Primarchs, not to mention the massive healing factor he must have. On top of that, consider that the enormously potent medical science of the Imperium was unable to save him. And despite the Imperium's technological atavism, their medicine must still be enormously advanced, especially considering they'd almost certainly break out all the good stuff they don't have the resources to provide to all one quadrillion humans for a literal son of their god.
