( December 2016 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) The first Infinity Gem appeared in the Marvel Universe comics in 1972 , in Marvel Premiere # 1 ( which also introduced the character Adam Warlock ) , and was originally called a `` Soul Gem '' . In 1976 , a second `` Soul Gem '' appeared in a Captain Marvel story which also mentioned that there were six Soul Gems and that each had a different power . One year later , two more `` Soul Gems '' were introduced in a Warlock crossover with Spider - Man , and the full set of six appeared as the death - obsessed villain Thanos attempted to use them to extinguish every star in the universe . In a 1988 storyline in Silver Surfer , the Elders of the Universe try to use the Soul Gems to steal the energy of the world - eating entity Galactus . In the 1990 limited series The Thanos Quest , Thanos refers to the entire set as `` Infinity Gems '' for the first time , and the gems began to take a more prominent role in the Marvel Universe . In this storyline , Thanos steals the gems and inserts them into a gold glove known as the Infinity Gauntlet . Thanos reveals the Gems to be the last remains of an omnipotent being . In the miniseries The Infinity Gauntlet , Thanos uses the Gems to become nearly omnipotent himself . He wields his power to kill half the population of the universe as a gift to his love , the cosmic embodiment of Death . Though he easily repels an attack by Earth 's heroes and other cosmic entities , the Gauntlet is stolen from him by Nebula , who undoes his mass killings . Adam Warlock recovers the Gauntlet in turn and divides the Gems among a group he calls `` the Infinity Watch '' , consisting of himself ; the superheroes Gamora , Pip the Troll , Drax the Destroyer , Moondragon , and his former adversary Thanos . This group 's adventures in defending the gems appeared in the ongoing series Warlock and the Infinity Watch ( 1992 - 1995 ) . The Gems are next gathered by Warlock 's evil alter ego , the Magus , in The Infinity War , a 1992 limited series . The Magus is defeated by Warlock and Earth 's heroes . In 1993 , a third limited series , The Infinity Crusade , described the attempts of Warlock 's `` Good '' side , the Goddess , to destroy evil in the universe by destroying free will ; the Gems are once more retrieved by the Infinity Watch . Following the cancellation of the Infinity Watch series , the one - shot title Rune / Silver Surfer depicts the Gems being stolen by the extradimensional vampire Rune and dispersed throughout the Ultraverse . The Asgardian god Loki subsequently enters the Ultraverse , collects the Gems , and discovers the existence of a seventh Gem , `` Ego '' . The Ego Gem , possessing the Avenger Sersi , merges with the other Gems to reform Nemesis -- the original omnipotent being whose essence formed the Gems -- and battles the Avengers and Ultraforce before being dissipated once again . In a story arc of the Thanos ongoing series ( 2003 - 2004 ) , Galactus gathers the six Gems , but accidentally allows an interdimensional parasite , named Hunger , access into the Earth - 616 universe . Thanos and Galactus banish the entity , and the Gems are scattered again with the exception of the Soul Gem , which Thanos retains for its customary custodian , Adam Warlock . In New Avengers : Illuminati , a 2007 - 2008 limited series , a cabal of Earth 's heroes gather the Gems and attempt to wish them out of existence , but discover that they must exist as part of the cosmic balance . Instead , the Illuminati divide and hide the Gems . In a 2010 Avengers storyline , the human criminal known as the Hood steals several Gems , but is defeated by use of the remaining Gems ; the Illuminati attempt to hide them again . Later , the Illuminati wield the Gems to stop another universe from collapsing into their own , but the Gems are shattered in the effort . Afterwards , the previously vanished Time Gem appears to Captain America and some of the Avengers and transports them into future realities , shattering throughout time in the process . As a result of the Incursions , the entire Multiverse is destroyed . However , Doctor Doom combines fragments of several alternate realities into Battleworld . Doctor Strange gathers Infinity Gems from various realities into a new Infinity Gauntlet , which he leaves hidden until the surviving heroes of Earth - 616 return . The Gauntlet is subsequently claimed by T'Challa , who uses it to keep the Beyonder - enhanced Doom occupied until Mister Fantastic can disrupt his power source . Following the destruction of the entire Multiverse and its restoration , the destroyed Infinity Gems are recreated and scattered across the universe , with their colors switched and some taking on uncut ingot forms . In Marvel Legacy # 1 , the Space Gem ( now colored blue ) appears on Earth where a Frost Giant working for Loki steals it from a S.H.I.E.L.D. storage facility , however he is intercepted and defeated by Wolverine . Star - Lord discovers an extra-large Power Stone ( now colored purple ) being protected by the Nova Corps , and an alternate universe Peter Quill named Starkill has the Reality Stone ( now colored red ) . A future version of Ghost Rider is revealed to possess a shard of the Time Stone ( now colored green ) , while in the present the complete stone restores the ruined planet of Sakaar and is claimed by the Super-Skrull . The Mind Stone ( now colored yellow ) is found on Earth in the hands of petty crook Turk Barrett , and the Soul Stone ( now colored orange ) is mentioned to Adam Warlock to be in the hands of his dark aspect the Magus ; however , Ultron is able to claim it after ambushing and killing him .

Possessing any single Gem grants the user the ability to command whatever aspect of existence the Gem represents . The Gems are not immutable . For instance , on two occasions , one or more of the Gems have appeared as deep pink spheres several feet in diameter , while on other occasions , the Gems have appeared in their small oval shape but with different coloring . ( e.g. the Soul Gem being colored red when worn by the Gardener ) . In the Ultraverse , after merging into their original form of Nemesis , the Gems were again separated after a battle with Ultraforce and the Avengers . As part of the Marvel Legacy initiative , the Infinity Gems ( now known as the Infinity Stones ) , had their colors altered to match the colors of the Infinity Stones from the Marvel Cinematic Universe .

Other versions ( edit ) Council of Reeds ( edit ) The Reed Richards of Earth - 616 , in an attempt to `` solve everything '' , meets with a council of alternate universe Reeds . Three of them wear Infinity Gauntlets , which only work in concert with their respective universes . New Avengers ( edit ) During the `` Incursion '' storyline , the Avengers travel to a parallel Earth where a pastiche on the Justice League have replaced this Earth 's Avengers who all died in a previous cataclysm . Here the Gems are all square planes which are assembled into the `` Wisher 's Cube '' , a composite of the concepts of the Infinity Gems and the Cosmic Cube . Secret wars ( edit ) After various alternate universes are combined into Battleworld , Doctor Strange gathers Infinity Gems from other universes into a new Infinity Gauntlet that works in the area where Doom has built his palace . Strange leaves the Gauntlet hidden until he has access to someone he can trust it with ; after his death , the Gauntlet is claimed by T'Challa , who uses it against Doom in the final battle . A separate section of Battleworld known as New Xandar also has a Gauntlet fought over by multiple factions until the majority of the Stones , except the Reality Stone , were taken by Thanos . Thanos eventually tracks the missing Stone to Nova Corps member Anwen Bakian . When Thanos confronts her to get the Stone , Anwen gives him a duplicate of the Reality Stone she created called the ' Death Stone ' . When used along with the other five Stones , the Death Stone corrupts Thanos with black matter and turns him to dust . Ultimate Marvel ( edit ) In the Ultimate Marvel universe , an Infinity Gauntlet is seen in Project Pegasus . The Mind Gem ( stolen by Hydra ) is used by Modi ( Thor 's son ) to control both Director Flumm and Cassie Lang , but are stopped by the Ultimates . The Power Gem is later revealed to be in the possession of former S.H.I.E.L.D. agent Sayuri Kyota , while a second Infinity Gauntlet is recovered from an A.I.M. base by Thor and Susan Storm . Kang the Conqueror later allies himself with the Hulk , Reed Richards and Quicksilver as part of a plan to steal the two Gauntlets , which results in the destruction of the Triskelion . Quicksilver recovers two additional Gems allowing the villains to teleport away . Richards is later able to recover another of the Gems , which is found lodged in Tony Stark 's brain . He informs Stark that the Infinity Gems are needed to save the world from a coming cataclysm that will destroy the entire universe . After brainwashing Johnny Storm and forcing him to travel to the Earth 's core , the Dark Ultimates are able to recover the final gem , but are defeated by the Ultimates . The gems then shatter , rendering the Gauntlets useless . What if ? ( edit ) In a reality where Doctor Doom retained the power of the Beyonder , he acquired the Infinity Gems from the Elders of the Universe and used them to defeat the Celestials in a 407 - year - long war before finally forsaking his power . In an alternate reality where the original Fantastic Four died , a new Fantastic Four -- consisting of Spider - Man , Hulk , Wolverine and Ghost Rider -- was formed . With Iron Man replacing Ghost Rider , they were the only heroes available to fight Thanos when he initially assembled the Infinity Gauntlet . Despite Iron Man 's use of Negative Zone -- enhanced Celestial armor , Thanos still easily defeated the team until Wolverine tricked Thanos into erasing Mephisto from existence before cutting off Thanos 's left arm , and therefore the Infinity Gauntlet . With Thanos powerless , Spider - Man used the gauntlet to undo the events of Thanos 's godhood . Contest of Champions ( edit ) In the Contest of Champions miniseries , an alternate version of Tony Stark uses the Reality Gem to win the superhero civil war and affect the outcome of a presidential election . When he tries to use the Gem on Battleworld , he is killed by the Maestro , who says the Gems do not work in any universe other than their own . In other media ( edit ) Television ( edit ) The Infinity Gauntlet and the Infinity Gems appear in The Super Hero Squad Show television show . The Infinity Gauntlet and the Infinity Gems appear in Avengers Assemble . In this show , there are only five Infinity Gems and the Soul Stone is not present . Film ( edit ) It has been suggested that this section be split out into another article . ( Discuss ) ( April 2018 ) The MCU incarnation of Thanos wielding the Infinity Gauntlet , with the six Infinity Stones The Infinity Stones are significant in the Marvel Cinematic Universe , playing important roles in several films . Director James Gunn created the backstory for the Stones in the film Guardians of the Galaxy , where the Collector explains they are the remnants of six singularities that existed before the Big Bang , which were compressed into stones after the universe began and dispersed throughout the cosmos . In the film Avengers : Infinity War , it is further explained by Wong and Doctor Strange to Tony Stark that each stone embodies and controls an essential aspect of existence . In order of introduction , they are : Space Stone ( Blue ) : Housed in the Tesseract , it first appears briefly in the Thor post-credits scene . In Captain America : The First Avenger , it is used by the Red Skull to power weaponry developed by Hydra , and in The Avengers it is shown to be capable of generating wormholes , which Loki uses to transport the Chitauri to New York City in an attempt to conquer Earth . After the Avengers repel the invasion , it is returned to Asgard for safekeeping . In November 2013 , producer Kevin Feige confirmed that the Tesseract is the Space Stone . Loki steals the Tesseract before Asgard 's destruction at the end of Thor : Ragnarok and gives it to Thanos in Avengers : Infinity War to save Thor 's life . Mind Stone ( Yellow ) : In The Avengers , Thanos gives Loki a scepter that allows him to control people 's minds and to project energy . The scepter falls into the hands of Hydra leader Baron Wolfgang von Strucker , who is shown in the mid-credits scene of Captain America : The Winter Soldier to have been using it to experiment on humans . The only surviving subjects of those experiments are Pietro and Wanda Maximoff , in whom superhuman abilities were unlocked . In Avengers : Age of Ultron , the scepter is revealed to contain the Mind Stone , and has an artificial intelligence that grants sentience to the computer program Ultron , who then incorporates the stone into his `` Vision '' , an android . The Mind Stone can also enhance the user 's intelligence , grants the user immense knowledge , and can create new life . In Avengers : Infinity War , Vision is injured by Thanos ' children trying to get the Mind Stone and is taken to Wakanda to have it removed , in the hope that he can live without it . When the operation to remove the Stone is interrupted , Wanda Maximoff is forced to destroy Vision and the Stone , only for Thanos to use the Time Stone to repair and collect it while killing Vision again . Reality Stone ( Red ) : Formed by the Dark Elf Malekith into a fluid - like weapon called the Aether , it is said to be able to destroy the Nine Realms and return the universe to its pre-Big Bang state . The Asgardians entrust the Aether to the Collector at the end of Thor : The Dark World to separate it from the Tesseract , as they consider it unwise to have multiple Stones close together . The Aether , when bonded with a host , can turn anything into dark matter , and is capable of sucking the life force out of humans and other mortals . In Avengers : Infinity War , Thanos lays waste to Knowhere and takes the Reality Stone from the Collector . Power Stone ( Purple ) : The Power Stone is contained within an orb that Ronan the Accuser seeks to find for Thanos in Guardians of the Galaxy . It is capable of destroying entire civilizations , and Ronan tries to use it to destroy the planet Xandar . The Guardians of the Galaxy stop him and entrust the stone to the Nova Corps for safekeeping . Before the events of Avengers : Infinity War , the Power Stone is the first to be obtained by Thanos , as Thor informs the Guardians that his army has decimated Xandar . Time Stone ( Green ) : The Time Stone was encased in the Eye of Agamotto by Earth 's first sorcerer , Agamotto . A Master of the Mystic Arts can use the Stone to alter and manipulate time . Thousands of years later , in Doctor Strange , Dr. Stephen Strange learns to use the Eye and uses it to save the Earth from Dormammu by trapping the demon in a time loop until he abandons his plans for Earth . The Masters of the Mystic Arts retain possession of the Eye in their secret compound Kamar - Taj in Kathmandu , Nepal . During the events of Avengers : Infinity War , Strange uses the Time Stone to look into future timelines ; viewing millions of possible outcomes of their conflict with Thanos . Strange later surrenders the stone to Thanos in exchange for him sparing Tony Stark 's life . Soul Stone ( Orange ) : The Soul Stone is first seen in Avengers : Infinity War . Some time prior to Guardians of the Galaxy , Thanos asked Gamora to locate the Soul Stone , because unlike the other Infinity Stones , there was little record of its existence . Gamora found it hidden on the planet Vormir . Thanos takes Gamora to recover it , where they discover that the Red Skull guards the Soul Stone . Red Skull warns Thanos that he must sacrifice something he loves to acquire it . Thanos tearfully throws Gamora off a cliff and gains the Soul Stone . A right - handed gauntlet appears in the film Thor , where it is stored in Odin 's vault ; this gauntlet was later revealed to be a fake in Thor : Ragnarok . In the mid-credits scene of Avengers : Age of Ultron , Thanos is seen wearing a left - handed gauntlet . Gaming ( edit ) The Infinity Gems are featured in the video games Marvel Super Heroes In War of the Gems ( based on the `` Infinity Gauntlet '' saga ) and Marvel Super Heroes . In Marvel vs. Capcom 2 : New Age of Heroes , Thanos uses Power , Soul , Reality , and Space for his Supers . The Infinity Gems , including the Infinity Sword , appear as a driving part of the Marvel Super Hero Squad : The Infinity Gauntlet video game . The Infinity Stones play a major role in the fighting game Marvel vs. Capcom : Infinite . During gameplay , using an Infinity Stone will grant player characters a specific enhancement based on the stone being used . In the game 's story , Ultron and Sigma use two of the stones to become `` Ultron Sigma '' and merge the worlds into one under their control , and the heroes must retrieve the other four stones to stop them . The Infinity Stones in the game use the naming and color scheme of the Stones from the Marvel Cinematic Universe rather than the naming and color scheme of the Infinity Gems from previous Marvel video games . The Collector 's Edition of the game comes with a replica of the Infinity Stones housed in a small box with an LED display . From January to August 2012 , Wizkids presented the Infinity Gauntlet program at stores that host HeroClix tournaments . An Infinity Gauntlet prop was released , followed by a different Gem each month . Each Gem can be added the Gauntlet , increasing its power in game . The Gems can be displayed on a stand that comes with the Gauntlet or on each Elder that Thanos encountered in the story Thanos Quest . Replica Infinity Gauntlets were given out as trophies at Ultimate Fighting Game Tournament 8 , a 2012 Road to Evo tournament . In a tie - in with the film Avengers : Infinity War , Marvel and Epic Games announced the `` Infinity Gauntlet Limited Time Mashup '' mode for Fortnite Battle Royale , where players can find the Infinity Gauntlet hidden on the game map and become Thanos with added abilities .
