7/2/2023 0 Comments The infinity stones![]() ![]() Powers: The Soul Stone gives the wielder the essential power over death – the wielder can capture and torture souls and allows the wielder to bring fallen souls to life. However, these can be dismissed as idle ruminations and the evidence in the previous movies, coupled with the intense fight sequence outside Wakanda suggests that the stone might be there which is why Thanos turned his attention to the country in the first place. There has also been one crazy theory post the second infinity war trailer, that Captain America might be the soul stone, but there is an equally crazy theory that Tony (Iron Man) has the soul stone inside him. Black Panther’s powers have been linked to this stone and the ability to glimpse into the ancestral plane after consuming the flower suggests similar powers of the soul stone as well. It has been suggested that the vibranium meteor which landed in Wakanda contained the soul stone and the Black Panther movie teases it a bit since the meteor glows with a light emanating from within. Most popular opinions favor Wakanda – the super advanced fictional country in Africa and home of the Black Panther. However, that hasn’t stopped fans from speculating where the stone might be. This stone has so far remained a secret in the MCU and the big reveal will come in the Infinity War movie itself. Okay, we start with the one we know the least about. So before Thanos finds out where the stones are and all hell breaks loose, let us take a look at the stones, their powers and how they would help Thanos become essentially the most powerful being in the universe. The stones are believed to be sentient and from Age of Ultron, Marvel has insinuated that Thanos has begun to actively search for the stones rather than sending agents like Loki (Avengers) or Ronan (Guardians of the Galaxy). However, when placed in specially designed containers the stones’ powers can be harnessed by almost anyone, for example, the Eye of Agamotto being wielded by Doctor Strange. However, the stones’ extreme power means that none but the most powerful beings in the universe can come in direct contact and harness the power of the stones – thus the stone in its original state can be wielded by Celestials. The six stones are unique and have different powers and have been used by civilizations knowingly or unknowingly time and again over the millennia. The stones predate creation itself, they are six immensely powerful singularities that got concentrated into ingots or stones at the time the universe was created. What are infinity stones? – The soul gems as they are known in the comicverse first appeared in the 1972 issue of Marvel Premiere 1#. ![]()
