The Infinity Stones (formerly known as the Infinity Gems and the Soul Gems) are powerful artifacts that originated from the original universe, found below the Quarry of Creation and inhabited by Celestials. That universe contains countless Infinity Stones, which get sent to other universes by the Celestials.
The first of the Infinity Gems to appear in the Prime Marvel Universe was the Soul Gem, which was given to Adam Warlock by the High Evolutionary.
Thanos was the first to use the six Soul Gems in unison. He intended to destroy the universe by using the Soul gems to destroy the stars. He was stopped by the Avengers, Adam Warlock and Captain Marvel.
The Elders of the Universe were the second entities to use the gems in unison. Connecting the six Soul Gems to a device, they were able to use its beams to absorb the life energy of Galactus and transfer it to a barren planet, giving it life. However, the Silver Surfer interfered and destroyed the machine, and the gems were lost in a black hole. Galactus also punished some of the Elders by consuming them.
Because the Elders of the Universe were barred from entering Death's realm due to prior machinations of the Grandmaster, Galactus soon found himself being poisoned from within by the Elders he consumed. To save Galactus, who asserted that only one of the gems had the power to absorb the immortal Elders' souls inside his body, Silver Surfer, Mr. Fantastic, and the Invisible Woman journeyed through the black hole to recover the gems, where Invisible Woman became possessed by the sentient Soul Gem and had her evil Malice persona awakened. She was later subdued, but the whole scheme turned out to be work of the In-Betweener so he could use the gems to destroy Galactus.
Reed, Sue, and the Silver Surfer were able to get into contact with Master Order and Lord Chaos, and the two entities agreed to aid them in stopping the In-Betweener. They then used their powers to free the Elders of the Universe who were trapped inside Galactus and restore him to full strength. Master Order and Lord Chaos then dealt with the In-Betweener before he caused any more trouble and entrusted five of the Soul Gems to the Elders of the Universe, while the In-Betweener was imprisoned by his masters and retained his Gem.
On their own, the Infinity Stones provide great power. They form a circuit, meaning that mastery over the aspect of each Infinity Stone allows for better exploit of another. Assembled together, they create a positive feedback loop, granting the user infinite power, although they only work in their native universe. The gems are also sentient. In unison, the Gems exceed cosmic beings like Eternity in power. In fact, the Gems allowed Thanos, Nebula, and Adam Warlock to defeat almost all of the universe's major cosmic entities at the same time with ease. The only beings that have overcame the Gems together are the Living Tribunal and God Emperor Doom via the power of the Beyonders.
•Power Stone – Powered by the user's mastery of mind. Increases strength and durability, enhances virtually any known superhuman ability, energy manipulation. It also supplies the other gems with their power/energies.
•Space Stone – Powered by the user's mastery of power. Allows travel through space, mostly through teleportation. Able to interfere with the motion of other objects.
•Time Stone – Powered by the user's mastery of space. Allows for time travel; stop, slow down or speed up flow of time; accelerate or slow down ageing; see into the past and future; and bend time to the user’s will.
•Reality Stone – Powered by the user's mastery of time. Alters all of reality; similar to the effects of a Cosmic Cube, but much, much higher.
•Soul Stone – Powered by the user's mastery of reality. Observe, attack or even steal a being's soul or spirit. Also used to revert individuals to their natural state.
Earth-517
In Battlerealm, Infinity Stones are created by channeling the energies released by the great battles of the Contest of Champions. The convoluted nature of Battlerealm, however, make them unstable and hard to control. The first Infinity Stone native to Battlerealm (the Genesis Stone) was created by Maestro from the concentrated ISO-8 dust he left incubating inside the participants of the Contest; the second (called the Evolution Stone) was created from the Dark Phoenix's ISO-Terrigen cocoon; the third (named the War Stone) was created during the battle to prevent Dormammu from conquering Battlerealm; and a fourth (the Nightmare Stone) was created by M.O.D.O.K. with the help of Taskmaster using the data acquired from the Summoner's battles at Hotel M.O.D.O.K. Following the Maestro's defeat at his hands, Thanos took the Genesis Stone for himself and went on a quest to acquire the others. After claiming the Evolution Stone, Thanos tried to claim the War Stone as well, but Doctor Strange, who had been investigating the Mad Titan since he vanished with the Genesis Stone, took hold of it first. Under unknown circumstances, Thanos came to be in possession of the Nightmare Stone and the Stark Enhanced Spider-Man acquired a new Infinity Stone (the Chaos Stone). Thanos tried to steal the Chaos Stone from Spider-Man, but Doctor Strange and other heroes of Battlerealm intervened. After the Infinity Stones were strewn across the Battlerealm once again due to the actions of the Black Panther, the Goddess of Death Hela secured the remaining Infinity Stone (the Death Stone) and gave it to Thanos, who in turn used it to trap most of the heroes of Battlerealm in a lifeless copy of reality to gather the other five stones unopposed.
Earth-1365
In this reality, the Infinity Gems are referred to as "Inu Abanayyartu", or simply "The Stones". Their powers are unknown but presumably comparable to their multiversal counterparts.
Earth-1610
In this universe, there are eight Infinity Gems instead of six. They were generated on the Earth during great calamities, including the paleolithic extinction event, Ragnarok, the Ultimatum, and the sinking of Atlantis and Lemuria, as some sort of scar tissue to help the planet. Four of them were in S.H.I.E.L.D. custody. A green (possibly the Soul Gem) and a purple gem (possibly the Space Gem) were attached to a glove. The Mind Gem was stored apart in Project Pegasus, from where it was stolen by Modi, though it was ultimately retrieved. The Power Gem was contained in S.H.I.E.L.D.'s The Torch facility in Sioux City, and it was stolen by Hydra double-agent Commander Crimson. After the events centered around the Mind Gem, the Invisible Woman learned about the other two gems in the gauntlet. She noticed the glove was designed to hold four gems, so she set out to find the fourth Gem before it fell in wrong hands. Sue tried to study the gems in order to track down the fourth one, but found their spectrum analysis was inconsistent. Thor tried to talk to the gems as if they were sentient, demanding the location of the others, causing him and Sue to be teleported to a Hydra research base in New Mexico. After fighting through Hydra troops, Sue discovered another gauntlet containing the fourth gem, with space for three more stones. Meanwhile, the Power Gem was used by Commander Crimson to fend off her Nebraska outpost against the Ultimates. An energy surge from the Gem caused Commander Crimson to disintegrate, and the gem to melt the ground and fall straight down into Earth's core. The gem recovered from the New Mexico Hydra lab generated rhythmic pulsar blasts that pointed at the Moon, prompting Sue and Thor to travel there. Even though they were faced by the Black Knight of the West Coast Ultimates, the Invisible Woman managed to retrieve the Gem. The Sue Storm of an alternate future, who called herself Kang, traveled back in time from the destruction of her reality to the present, convinced that she would need the Infinity Gems to prevent the cataclysm she escaped from. She freed Hulk, and the Maker from imprisonment, with the help of Quicksilver. Kang's Dark Ultimates struck when the present Sue Storm was briefing the rest of the Ultimates on the five Gems that had been acquired. Hulk destroyed the Triskelion and got hold of the Gems, while Quicksilver retrieved the sixth gem from the ruins of the Maker's Dome. Using the power of the almost-finished Infinity Gauntlets, the Dark Ultimates began to reshape the world their image. As part of a desperate attempt to stand against the Dark Ultimates, Tony Stark tinkered a glove theoretically capable of attracting and containing the Power Gem that became buried underneath Nebraska. Before he could use it, Stark was neutralized by Quicksilver, because he possessed inside his brain the final Infinity Gem. Reed surgically removed the Gem from Tony's brain, and apprehended Johnny Storm from a hospital, brainwashed him, and used his capacity to sustain enormous temperatures to retrieve the Power Gem from Earth's core. After recovering the Power Gem, Pietro collected it from Johnny to hand it over to Reed. Kang had to take the Gem forcefully from Pietro, who had realized Reed planned on eradicating mutantkind when he completed the Infinity Gauntlet. The Ultimates and the Howling Commandos were confronting Reed when Kang arrived with the Gem in order to complete the Gauntlets. They fought for the grasp of the final Gem. Kang tried to convince Reed that she needed to have the Gauntlet, otherwise the universe would end. Thanks to the intervention of Johnny Storm, who had snapped out of the brainwash, the gems fell in Iron Man's possession. In the very next moment, a tear in the fabric of reality caused by a Wolverine echoed through the Multiverse, and shattered the Infinity Gems.
•The colors of the other two additional (seventh and eighth) Infinity Gems in the Ultimate Universe are not exactly clear. The Mind Gem was blue.[110] The two Gems in the Infinity Gauntlet in S.H.I.E.L.D.'s possession were green and purple. The Gem in possession of Commander Crimson was red (while it wasn't identified as the Power Gem, it featured the same abilities). The Gem found in a New Mexico Hydra outpost was light-purple. The Gem found in the Moon was white. However, when the Infinity Gauntlet is shown with the Gems recovered by the Invisible Woman (which are every Gem introduced so far except the Power Gem), the light-purple and the white Gems are instead orange and yellow. A second red Gem is retrieved by Quicksilver from the Maker's Dome. The Gem extracted from Tony Stark's mind is orange. When Iron Man assembles all of the eight gems, they appear to be red, yellow, purple, green, white, orange, and two blues.
•In the original story describing the origin of the Stones, the Stones came into existence following the suicide of the cosmic being known as Nemesis.
•The term "Infinity Stone" (as opposed to "Infinity Gem") comes from the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Upon their return in the Infinity Countdown event, the stones were also recolored to match their MCU counterparts.
•This change is attributed to the transition from the Seventh Cosmos to Eighth Cosmos following Secret Wars (2015).
