Years later, in 2007вЂ™s New Avengers: Illuminati #2, Mister Fantastic sought to collect the Infinity Stones, with the help of a shadowy cabal of Marvel heroes. Brian Michael Bendis, Brian Reed, Jim Cheung/Marvel Comics Mister Fantastic (sort of) But the supreme cosmic forces of the Marvel Universe ordered him to give up the Gauntlet and split up the Infinity Stones - which resulted in the creation of the Infinity Stone-guarding team known as Infinity Watch.Д«ut thatвЂ™s another story. Warlock didnвЂ™t do much with the Infinity Gauntlet, desiring mostly to keep it from being used by someone less scrupulous than him.

For the purposes of this piece, all you really need to know about Warlock (not to be confused with the X-Man character known as Warlock) is that heвЂ™s an artificially created вЂњperfectвЂќ human who, following a series of complicated events, became a sort of space messiah.ДЄnd, in Marvel Comics, heвЂ™s the traditional guardian of the Soul Stone. If thereвЂ™s a big glaring difference between the story of the Infinity Gems in the Marvel Cinematic Universe and the Marvel Comics Universe, itвЂ™s that the character of Adam Warlock has yet to be properly introduced to the MCU. Mark Bagley/Marvel Comics Adam WarlockДЄt the end of Infinity Gauntlet, Adam Warlock takes possession of the Infinity Stones. Later, in a heated moment, she reset the universe nearly as it was 24 hours previously, returning its decimated population to life and reviving the many beings Thanos had personally killed, as well.Д«ut ultimately, by the end of Infinity Gauntlet, the eponymous glove wasnвЂ™t on the hand of Thanos, or Nebua, or any hero of Earth. She used it to immediately restore her body to health and banish Thanos to the depths of space. NebulaвЂ™s short tenure with the glove was as chaotic as ThanosвЂ™. He displayed his helpless brother Eros for DeathвЂ™s amusement, and he fought the Avengers - turning WolverineвЂ™s bones to rubber, suffocating Cyclops in an airtight cube, transporting Drax back in time into the age of dinosaurs, turning Thor to glass and shattering him - to prove his bravery.Д«ut eventually, ThanosвЂ™ ego got the better of him, and a momentary lapse in judgement allowed a second person to snatch the Infinity Gauntlet off his hand and take it for her own.

He trapped Nebula in a living hell of pain to the point of death, without allowing her to die. He killed half the universe, as she had ordered him to, and transformed her space fortress into a shrine to her worship. Thanos collected the Infinity Stones for the first time in Marvel Comics history in Jim Starlin, George PГ©rez, and Ron LimвЂ™s 1991 miniseries Infinity Gauntlet, and used his newfound omnipotence to do the cosmic equivalent of hanging around Mistress DeathвЂ™s house with a boombox. But hey - itвЂ™s easy to pull off something as decadent as a gold glove if youвЂ™re naturally a royal purple. Obviously, Thanos created the Infinity Gauntlet, so heвЂ™s the first person to ever wield its power and, arguably, the one who wore it best.

ThereвЂ™s an elite class of characters who have collected all six Infinity Stones and successfully used their power - and not all of them were major players in Avengers: Endgame. In the wake of the Infinity Saga, it seems like a great time to look at the history of the Infinity Gauntlet in the main universe of Marvel Comics, beginning with the original Infinity Gauntlet miniseries. The ultimate act defeated the big purple king, and should shape the Marvel Cinematic Universe for the years to come.

He was only human, and when your weapon of choice leaves Smart Hulk aching, one can only imagine the energy rush it sends through a mortal human. In the end, Tony Stark sacrificed himself by wielding the gauntlet to defeat Thanos.
