Infinity Gems
The Infinity Gems (originally referred to as Soul Gems and later as Infinity Stones) are powerful cosmic artifacts in the Marvel Comics universe, each with unique abilities. There are six stones: Space, Mind, Reality, Power, Soul, and Time. When all six stones are brought together in the Infinity Gauntlet, the wielder gains unimaginable power and control over all of reality. Thus, they are among the most powerful and sought-after items in the Marvel Universe; playing important roles in several storylines, in which they were wielded by characters such as Thanos and Adam Warlock.
