Talk:Infinity Gems

Avengers Annual#7 shows Thanos killed Xiombar to get one of the gems.

Gem Quest?

Never heard of that storyline. Should it be removed from the article? Luis Dantas 02:00, 1 November 2005 (UTC)

Silver Surfer v.3 appearances

The Gems appeared in Silver Surfer #15-17 when the Surfer, Reed and Sue Richards went into a black hole to obtain the Gems in order to save the life of Galactus. Sadly I don't know where this storyline fits into the grand scheme of things, so I don't want to do a slipshod edit of the Gems' possessors. At the very least, though, Reed and Sue should be counted in the Soul Gem list. Korvac 16:52, 10 September 2006 (UTC)

Clean Up

Have added references, another picture, and tidied up the grammar and make it a little easier on the eyes.

Pulled Darkseid as he was never really in possession of the gems. He found the Gauntlet, was shown for all of two panels with it and that was it. As Darkseid never even got to use the gems and the story was a crossover, his claim is not as strong as the Marvel characters.

Time and Power colors

In the article, Time's color is written as (orange/red*), and Power's is written as (red/pink*). However, there is nothing connected to the asterisks to further explain.Ophois 22:25, 11 June 2007 (UTC)

How are they worn?

How does someone use a single gem? Do they have to hold it in their hand? Does it attach to the owner somehow? 66.167.147.162 16:31, 22 June 2007 (UTC)

Typically the wielder wears it on their forehead. The gems can obviously adhere to a host. I'm thinking we also need sources for those claims about gem abilities.

Asgardian 08:01, 16 July 2007 (UTC)

Any kind of contact is enough. Adam Warlock, Moondragon, and most of the elders of the unitverse always wore them on their forehead, Thanos just held them in his hand (or gauntlet, obviously), Pip the troll had his in between his toes and Drax the destroyer swallowed his. 213.220.223.200 (talk) 19:30, 23 December 2010 (UTC)

I imagine with objects as powerful as these, 'wearing' them is irrelevant. Lots42 (talk) 20:29, 20 January 2011 (UTC)

List of owners of collected gems and/or the Infinity Gauntlet

There are a considerable number of characters (I count at least 10, and that's not counting the War of the Gems video-game wielders, that I took from the old listings) who have possessed either the collected gems (sometimes minus the reality and/or soul gems) or the Infinity Gauntlet. If they are not listed anywhere, they inevitably get added one by one to each of the individual gem owner lists, which I think is unwieldy, and usually the list is incomplete. Additionally, the collected gems' power is displayed as exceeding the powers of the individual gems, in my opinion warranting a separate description. Accordingly, I've created a separate table row for the collected gems/the gauntlet. I invite comments on this setup.

Asgardian, I noticed you'd deleted the table row during your cleanup, with a remark about the Infinity Thrall needing references. I've restored it with the references. Also, when I previously added the row for the Set/Infinity Gauntlet, I had moved information from the other rows to the new row (such as the names of common owners), so if and when the Wikipedia community decides to remove the row, or if you remove it temporarily while the matter is under discussion, the set/gauntlet owners should probably be re-added to each of the individual gem's owner lists. InfinityMinusOneMRV (talk) 20:50, 27 December 2008 (UTC)

After some thought, I've removed it again, as it is problematic. Some of the information is incorrect and also repeats what is mentioned in the entry for the Ego gem. A list of who has held the Gauntley - certainly one of that length - is unnecessary, and video games are non-canon. I will rework the entry about the Thrall for inclusion. Asgardian (talk) 13:06, 28 December 2008 (UTC)

OK. In that case, the header should be changed back to "Prior owners (of individual gems)" (as otherwise the column contents wouldn't be correct for the column header), and some care should be taken that full set/gauntlet members are not re-added to the individual gem owners. Possibly a permanent note on the talk page would suffice, but I'd suggest a small text in the page, above or underneath the table, stating that the full set/gauntlet owners are described in the history. Alternatively someone (not me) could police the page and revert any such changes. InfinityMinusOneMRV (talk) 23:08, 28 December 2008 (UTC)

As a side note, what information do you think is incorrect? The video game listings I have no information on (and I agree with you that they are non-canon, I just didn't feel it was my place to remove them if people wanted them here), but the other owner names I can all vouch for, and support with precise comic issue title-and-number references if necessary.

Reality Gem

Only five of the gems appear in Avengers/Two-In-One crossover story mentioned on this page. The reality gem wasn't present; as far as I know, it wasn't even mentioned until its first appearance in The Thanos Quest. (70.92.176.224 (talk) 01:39, 14 May 2010 (UTC))

No it's the full six that appear but they hadn't been individually named at this stage. The only distinction was that only Warlock's could steal souls (and so Thanos didn't collect it directly) but otherwise IIRC prior to The Thanos Quest the gems were never individually identified by name or power or colour. Timrollpickering (talk) 14:26, 30 July 2014 (UTC)

Rumor

Supposedly a Gauntlet appears in Ultimate Origins. Definitely noteable if true. Lots42 (talk) 20:29, 20 January 2011 (UTC)

Mind Gem in The Avengers movie?

The scepter given to Loki by Thanos at the beginning of The Avengers is powered by a blue gem. Loki uses the scepter to control the minds of others, from Hawkeye to the Chitauri army. It is never explicitly stated in the film that it's the Mind Gem, but then that sort of thing is rarely articulated.Wyldstaar (talk) 03:34, 10 May 2012 (UTC)

The mind gem was shown to be on the Infinity Gauntlet in Odin's treasure room in Thor. I doubt Thanos stole the gauntlet (or only the one gem) and then gave it away. But hey, if you can find a reliable source, I won't argue. Argento Surfer (talk) 14:39, 10 May 2012 (UTC)

The Infinity Gauntlet appears in Thor so briefly that it can only be seen if you view it in slow motion. Even then, it's only in four frames of footage. If Joss Whedon chose to do a bit of revisionist history, I don't think it would be a problem. I'm not saying that it's definitely the Mind Gem, just that it seems like a strong possibility. Wyldstaar (talk) 23:42, 16 May 2012 (UTC)

No original research.--TriiipleThreat (talk) 00:16, 17 May 2012 (UTC)

The film explicitly states that Loki's scepter is powered by the Tesseract; that's why it is able to close the portal. Having it look very similar to the Mind Gem could have been intentional, but that does not matter without a reference. Kurt Parker (talk) 14:35, 17 May 2012 (UTC)

In the film, it's Nick Fury who states that Loki's scepter is powered by the Tesseract. Nick has a nasty habit of telling lies when it's convenient to him. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Wyldstaar (talk • contribs) 18:19, 3 May 2013 (UTC)

Loki's Scepter is definitely the Mind Gem. It's never been confirmed but it's a fairly safe bet. The idea that it is powered by Tesseract is just Nick Fury's opinion, and the fact that it has a similar powersource to the Tesseract gives it away. To breach the Tesseracts protective field you would need an Equal power source. Hence it could really only be another Infinity stone. The Infinity Gauntlet appears in Odin's Throne room, but it contains EVERY gem. As the Gauntlet is full. (It is the same physical object that was displayed at Comic Con) If this is not just fanservice it is most likely a Gauntlet from another universe. They only work in their native Universes, so removing it from its origin Universe and giving it someone with the power to protect it properly, like Odin the Allfather, would be a viable strategy to get rid of one.Exodus111 (talk) 23:21, 2 August 2014 (UTC)

What is your source Exodus111? No original research. - Favre1fan93 (talk) 16:54, 5 August 2014 (UTC)

Guardians of the Galaxy re-confirms that the Sceptre is not the Mind Gem (I say re-confirms as The Avengers already confirmed that it was simply powered by the Tesseract, and Thanos would never hand over an Infinity Stone to Loki, just to get another Infinity Stone, just as he relied on Ronan's own power as the Accuser to retrieve the Power Stone in GotG) - when the Collector was giving the history of the Stones, we see an image (scroll down into the comments) of the Stones forming, each a different colour: purple in the centre for the power stone, red for the Aether, and blue for the Tesseract. The other colours are yellow, orange, and green, nothing remotely like the colour of the gem in Loki's Sceptre. This is a pointless debate powered by fanboys who didn't pay attention when watching the films. - adamstom97 (talk) 06:03, 17 August 2014 (UTC)

Marvel Studios head Kevin Feige has officially confirmed in their big Marvel Phase III press conference that the gem in Loki's staff is in fact one of the Infinity Gems. Here are three references, and there are plenty more available, as this entire press conference has been heavily reported on. Wyldstaar (talk) 05:06, 30 October 2014 (UTC)

What are they called in GotG?

I have seen a lot of edit-warring in various articles to use various names for the Gems. Can anyone provide a definitive name for what they are called in the GotG film, or does the film use varying names for them? 2601:D:B480:ED2:1CE:F234:F2BE:9D69 (talk) 15:28, 10 August 2014 (UTC)

IP, what articles are those? Also, within the MCU, the comic Infinity Gems are known as the Infinity Stones. So far we have officially seen the Space Stone via the Tesseract, the Power Stone via the GotG Orb, and a third, unnamed stone via the Aether. Sources for these are all on the article in the Film section. Media outlets have been using "Gems" occasionally instead of "Stones", but Feige stated in an interview they are stones. - Favre1fan93 (talk) 16:21, 10 August 2014 (UTC)
