One common cause of SLUDGE is exposure to organophosphorus insecticides (including parathion, malathion, and diazinon) or nerve gas, such as sarin. These agents phosphorylate acetylcholinesterase, thereby irreversibly deactivating acetylcholinesterase and raising acetylcholine levels and causing SLUDGE.
Every stone grants different abilities to its owner. The Infinity Gems (previously known as Soul Gems) are some of the most powerful artifacts in the Universe. Each one allows its owner complete omnipotence over one aspect of the universe: time, space, reality, mind, power, and soul. When all six are directly wielded together, nothing is impossible for their bearer.
Before being called the Infinity Gems, these items were known as the Soul Gems. The first soul gem was the one which first appeared on the forehead of Adam Warlock which was given to him by the High Evolutionary. Thanos was the first to use the six soul gems in unison.
