The Mind Stone embedded in his head makes him Thanos Target #1, after all. Mind Stone: Much of Infinity War’s final act revolves around Vision’s role as part-Avenger, part-Infinity Stone vessel. Loki wasn’t going to let such power slip from his grasp, though, and attempted to betray Thanos. So often shown as being part of the Tesseract, the Space Stone remained in that cube until the Mad Titan plucks it from its container and adds it to the Gauntlet at beginning of Infinity War.

Space Stone: Thanos takes this bad boy after Loki effectively hands it to him on the ship full of Asgard survivors following the events of Thor: Ragnarok. It shows what a big deal they are, but, as some were taken off-camera or in abstract ways, you might need a little refresher on how it all went down. In the latest MCU movie, Thanos’s attempt to collect all six Infinity Stones took up most of the movie. The short answer? After the events of Avengers: Infinity War, the Infinity Stones are with Thanos and, yes, while that’s true, half the fun is in the journey. That was the first time we saw an Infinity Stone in action, and it certainly made quite an impact. You may remember it from the time it made Hawkeye turn all blue-eyed and evil. Mind Stone: Found inside Loki’s Chitauri sceptre, this yellow stone has gone on quite a journey, but its first appearance was in 2012’s The Avengers. It ended up at the bottom of the ocean after Cap crashed into the ice and saved the day, but was retrieved by Howard Stark (that's Iron Man's Dad) while he was looking for Cap.

Space Stone: The Space Stone was the very first Infinity Stone to make an appearance in the MCU, via a quick glimpse of the blue cube in Thor’s post-credits scene (opens in new tab), before becoming a major plot point (and part of Red Skull’s schemes) in Captain America: The First Avenger. Long story short, he ruled the universe, killed off half of its inhabitants, and (nearly 30-year-old spoilers here) eventually ended up at the mercy of every superhero, supervillain, and cosmic entity.īut what about in the MCU? Let’s chart where they first appeared: Thanos brought the Infinity Stones together in his Infinity Gauntlet. The Stones/Gems/big shiny things that make everything go bye bye were first introduced in 1972’s Marvel Premiere, but really brought into the comic mainstream in 1990/91’s The Infinity Gauntlet. Most Stones are stored in containers and are, wisely, kept away from each other, but Thanos has a few tricks up his sleeve (or should that be gauntlet?). In fact, they’re so powerful that Thanos created the Infinity Gauntlet just to hold them all. In the first Thor (opens in new tab) movie, Odin calls them “an ancient force of infinite destruction,” so yeah… they’re not playthings. So, basically, they're immensely powerful when separated and, together. Its powers in the comics range from reviving the dead to stealing super powers.

As for its power? The Soul Stone could prove to be the most powerful Infinity Stone of them all. The Soul Stone is definitely orange, as shown by the hue when Thanos and young Gamora meet after the snap. Soul Stone: We’ll have to look to the Marvel comics for help here because the Soul Stone hasn’t been fully revealed in the MCU yet, despite it finally appearing in Infinity War.

In Infinity War, Thanos manages to use it to manipulate matter itself, turning Star-Lord's blaster into a bubble gun. If the Reality Stone latches on to a powerful enough host, it can increase the host’s strength (as it did with Thor: The Dark World (opens in new tab) baddie Malekith) and can help convert matter into dark matter. Reality Stone: The ruby-red Reality Stone is a bit harder to describe, with its powers affecting humans by essentially rotting them away. Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch gained their powers from these tests, and Vision eventually came into being as a result of the Mind Stone, with Iron Man’s JARVIS operating system becoming fused into a synthetic body originally crafted for Ultron.

First used as a brainwashing tool by Loki, Baron Strucker then exploited it for a series of experiments to create superhumans by unlocking their minds to hidden abilities.

Mind Stone: The yellow Mind Stone has taken on a few different forms in the MCU, most notably Loki’s sceptre in The Avengers (opens in new tab), and then as part of Vision himself in Avengers: Age of Ultron (opens in new tab).
