The Infinity Gauntlet is a six-issue limited series published by Marvel Comics in 1991, a Crisis Crossover set in the shared Marvel Universe. The core series was written by Jim Starlin and pencilled by George Pérez (#1–4) and Ron Lim (#4–6). Its success, both critical and financial, cemented the reputations of everyone who worked on it.Following the events of The Thanos Quest, Thanos, the Mad Titan, has collected the Infinity Gems—six cosmic MacGuffins that grant their wielder great power over a different part of the universe (Time, Space, Mind, Soul, Power, and Reality). When Thanos puts them all on his glove, they create the Infinity Gauntlet, which gives him power over basically everything. Thanos had long been in love with the incarnation of Death after having been resurrected; The Infinity Gauntlet is literally about Thanos trying to use his godly power to court Death. When Death refuses to even acknowledge Thanos's newfound power, the Titan steps up his game by erasing half the population of the entire universe with a mere thought. Entire worlds and civilizations are torn asunder by Thanos's power—including Earth, which faces assumed annihilation as a result of power unleashed by the Infinity Gems.Earth's remaining heroes (and a few villains) soon come together to plan an attack against Thanos, hoping to catch him off-guard and stop him before he destroys all existence. Aiding Earth's attack force is Adam Warlock, who had been trapped inside one of the Gems and knows Thanos better than anyone save Thanos himself. (Warlock's plan is more of a distraction than an actual attempt to stop Thanos; he knows the heroes are doomed to fail.) Across the universe, other cosmic beings—including Galactus—prepare their own coordinated attack on the mad Titan.When Earth's assault begins, Thanos uses all the powers of the Gems to lay waste to his attackers. In the midst of battle, he is convinced to turn off most of the gems just to prove he can still do a lot of damage with just one. After he defeats the last of Earth's forces, the cosmic entities try to have their way with him—but Thanos outpowers them all and soon takes the place of Eternity...Infinity Gauntlet spawned an ongoing series, Infinity Watch, and two more miniseries that ultimately created a trilogy, and another miniseries with the same name that tied into Secret Wars (2015); A young girl named Anwen Bakian discovers one of the Infinity Gems on Battleworld. She soon ends up embroiled in a conflict involving Thanos and Star-Lord, and becomes a member of the defunct Nova Corps.It also received an adaptation for Marvel's all-ages line, written by Brian Clevinger.Infinity Gauntlet was loosely adapted into two video games by Capcom. The first, Marvel Super Heroes: War of the Gems, is a Beat 'em Up/Platform Game for the SNES. The second, Marvel Super Heroes, is an arcade Fighting Game; it followed X-Men: Children of the Atom and paved the way for the Capcom vs. series.The Infinity Gauntlet storyline — along with others similar to it — also serve as the underlying basis for Marvel's 2018 movie Avengers: Infinity War and its 2019 sequel Avengers: Endgame. | |

The Worf Effect | |
| The Infinity Gauntlet (Comic Book) / int_178ca149 | comment |
The Worf Effect: The Silver Surfer is an incredibly powerful cosmic being, one of the most powerful heroes in the Marvel universe. Roughly as strong as the Hulk, and also fast and with energy manipulation powers. The series opens with him collapsed in a heap on Dr. Strange's floor after falling through the window, panicked at the thought of Thanos's newfound power. | |

All There in the Manual | |
| The Infinity Gauntlet (Comic Book) / int_17ce80aa | comment |
All There in the Manual: The Infinity Gauntlet miniseries begins with Thanos already having acquired all the Infinity Gems. If you want to know how he got them, you need to read the Thanos Quest two-part comic. Also, Thanos' resurrection and the motivation for his deeds in The Infinity Gauntlet were first explored in issues of Silver Surfer that preceded this series. The Infinity Gauntlet Omnibus thankfully includes all of these comics, but the regular trade paperback only collects the miniseries. Notably, Thanos' motive in killing off half the universe is not to impress Death, despite that being the popular conception. He did it because she specifically ordered him to, because she felt the universe was overpopulated and headed for mass extinction. Further, she doesn't give him the cold shoulder because she's uninterested, but because he betrayed her trust in going after the gems rather than using the gifts she gave him to accomplish his task. All of this can only be found by reading Silver Surfer and Thanos Quest, with the Infinity Gauntlet limited series only covering the fallout of his betrayal. | |

Visual Pun: When Thanos accidentally triggers many natural disasters including a tsunami on Earth, The Trump Plaza Hotel and Casino in Atlantic City is consumed by the massive waves. Explanation "Under water" is an idiom for something underperforming financially. Donald Trump would file bankruptcy for many of his properties, including the aforementioned hotel. | |

Even More Omnipotent | |
| The Infinity Gauntlet (Comic Book) / int_1d375b63 | comment |
Even More Omnipotent: The eponymous artifact grants the wielder omnipotence when worn. More omnipotence than even, say, the Anthropomorphic Personification of the universe itself or all of the other Cosmic Beings of the setting combined. This becomes a plot point, because Thanos, the wielder of the gauntlet, is tricked into thinking that the only way to effectively dominate the universe is turn himself into the universe. But the second he does, someone else takes the gauntlet from his now-abandoned body and becomes the new big kahuna. | |

Set Bonus | |
| The Infinity Gauntlet (Comic Book) / int_2e62fdc2 | comment |
Set Bonus: The Gauntlet works better when all its gems are present. Justified, as it's mentioned that the Power Gem especially takes the abilities of the others and backs them with its infinite power. This is revealed to be inverted by Infinity War, as a result of the Living Tribunal's declaration in the first issue of Warlock and the Infinity Watch right after the first miniseries: possession of all six gems by a single individual renders all of them inert. Reversing this judgement is what drives the villains' plot in the sequel series, Infinity War. | |

Distaff Counterpart: Believe it or not, Thanos uses the Infinity Gauntlet to create an Amazonian Beauty female version of himself in the form of Terraxia the Terrible in an attempt to goad Death into jealousy. She apparently has all of his (non–Infinity Gauntlet) powers as well, in that she is easily able to slay Iron Man and Spider-Man. Of course, Thanos forgot the Required Secondary Power of breathing in space and she's killed when Nebula sends the two into exile in deep space just a few issues after he created her. | |

Amplifier Artifact: The Reality Gem is almost useless on its own, because it is almost impossible to control by a mortal mind. However, if someone possesses both it and another gem it greatly amplifies their power, and the Mind Gem and possibly others make it easier to use. | |

Mike Nelson, Destroyer of Worlds: When Death continues to reject Thanos, the latter gets very angry and subconsciously releases an omnidirectional blast that destroys most of the Milky Way and literally shakes the Earth to its core. Given that his assigned task was to cull half of all life in the universe and not to cause wanton destruction to it, this was obviously unintentional. | |

Batman Gambit: The mother of all Gambits happens in the first series, where Adam Warlock manipulates most of Earth's most powerful heroes and sacrifices nearly all of them just to get Thanos to raise his hand at a specific moment. It doesn't work, forcing Warlock to employ a second gambit against the Gauntlet's new owner, Nebula. | |

Deus ex Machina: In order to defeat Nebula's control of the Gauntlet, Warlock pulls himself (and the Surfer) BACK inside Soul World, and claims the previously unheard of ability to "reach out to the six" from within the Soul Gem, which somehow produces an energy backlash that rips the Gauntlet from Nebula's hand and leads to a free for all for possession of it. Once Warlock finally has the Gauntlet, his sole argument for keeping it is explained as "[his] right of possession", which no one bothers to challenge. | |

Not-So-Omniscient Council of Bickering: The Cosmic Higher-Ups all gather to talk about what's to be done with Thanos and the Gauntlet, alternating between "we should do something" and "we shouldn't do something". Eventually, they decide to do something... and promptly get defeated by Thanos using the Gauntlet. The Skyfathers, similarly, all gather in Asgard to plan their response to Thanos's new omnipotence, but his very first assault cuts them off from the universe and they're left powerless to intervene. | |

Throw-Away Country | |
| The Infinity Gauntlet (Comic Book) / int_53dc1e7 | comment |
Throw-Away Country: During the events of Infinity Gauntlet, the entirety of Japan sinks to the ocean. Of course, like most of the disasters during the story, it gets a Reset Button at the end. It also seems that the US was supposed to follow in its path, as parts of the West Coast started sinking as well. When the battle escalates to Cosmic Entity proportions, the shockwaves from the assault reach so far out into the Universe that Earth is simultaneously thrown out of orbit and rubbed against dimensional distortions, opening portals into the Negative Zone. With Warlock and the Surfer fighting just to survive, the Cosmics embroiled in much bigger issues, and the Watcher narrating the disaster as a sidenote, it was only Nebula unwittingly undoing this with her universal Reset Button that prevented a dead Earth's conquest by Annihilus from becoming a small footnote in cosmic history. | |

First-Episode Resurrection: Having died in Avengers Annual Vol. 1, #7, their souls taken into the Soul Gem, Adam Warlock, Gamora, and Pip the Troll leave Soul World and possess the recently deceased victims of a car crash just in time to join the story. Gamora and Pip's new bodies slowly revert to the characters' original appearance, while Warlock, as usual, cocoons himself to regenerate. Unfortunately for Gamora, she's almost immediately killed again when she falls to Thanos's universe-halving genocide, and she skips the whole saga until the final pages. | |

Dismantled MacGuffin: The Gauntlet. Complicating matters is the fact that the Gems want to be together, and possessing two or three makes the others much easier to find. | |

Godzilla Threshold | |
| The Infinity Gauntlet (Comic Book) / int_72856b70 | comment |
Godzilla Threshold: Adam Warlock's recruiting drive includes Galactus... and he's at the low end of the recruits, which grow to include Lord Chaos and Master Order, the embodiments of Love and Hate, a couple Celestials, the Watcher, and Eternity. The latter is the personification of the universe itself. The Cosmic Entities themselves go to tremendous, never-before-seen lengths to engage Thanos, such as trying to smash him with populated worlds, or discarding their physical form to attack him as beings of Pure Energy. | |

Spotlight-Stealing Squad: On paper, Infinity Gauntlet, Infinity War and Infinity Crusade are Crisis Crossovers, starring the most important heroes of Marvel Comics. Actually, they are stories of Thanos, Adam Warlock (and his good and evil sides), and the Infinity Watch; the other heroes are just either Cannon Fodder in someone else's big plan, or incompetent bufoons that get in the way and can't do any harm or take part in the bad guy's defeat. | |

Token Evil Teammate: When Nebula wields the Infinity Gauntlet, Thanos becomes this to the heroes (and Warlock) in their attempt to wrest it from her control. Adam Warlock is forced to disperse the six Infinity Gems amongst a team to safeguard each one. He chooses one for himself, four for his friends... and he hands the Reality Gem to Thanos, although this isn't revealed until Crusade. | |

Amulet of Concentrated Awesome: While Thanos on his own is nothing to sneer at, the Infinity Gauntlet makes him one of the most powerful being in the entire universe (possibly on par with the Living Tribunal, but still weaker than the One Above All). He handily defeats Earth's defenders using only the Power Gem. When all manner of cosmic beings come up against him, he effortlessly wipes the floor with them using the full power of the Gauntlet. | |

What Happened to the Mouse? | |
| The Infinity Gauntlet (Comic Book) / int_863fa679 | comment |
What Happened to the Mouse?: Just before seeking out the Infinity Gems, Thanos gives orders to the captain of the Sanctuary to spread word of his return to every criminal, cultist, and space pirate in the galaxy. After acquiring the Infinity Gauntlet, Thanos returns and is pleased to find that the captain has recruited and assembled a huge space armada that could take on most powers in the galaxy. Thanos states that the fleet will make a good royal guard now that he is a god. After this issue, neither the fleet nor the Sanctuary are mentioned again. Thanos didn't make use of them during his reign as supreme being, and didn't use them for any other purpose in any issue after the Infinity Gauntlet. In Infinity Gauntlet, Thanos sends Firelord and Drax through time, shrinks and presumably squashes the Hulk, and turns Thor into glass, then shatters him. All of these characters pop up toward the end, summoned by Dr. Strange as the characters wrestle for the gauntlet. One would have to read some of the crossover issues to learn how Strange located those heroes. Even more egregious is the fifth member of the people found by Strange, Dr. Doom. Doom attempts to steal the Gauntlet and is violently repulsed, but still combat capable. He takes another shot at Thanos a few pages later, proclaiming only death will stop him. Thanos promises him that death, then we cut to Adam and the Surfer, and when we cut back Thanos is battling Cyclops and the Scarlet Witch with no sign of Doom. Doom then appears in the background of one panel several pages later (without lines and with his cloak having somehow grown back from being destroyed), and then he vanishes completely until he turns up with Strange, with no idea of what his actual fate was, considering the last man standing is Captain America. Doom's fate is only revealed in tie-in issue Dr Strange #34 and is explained that Thanos fused Doom's armor together and rendered him comatose, requiring Strange to seek out the monks that helped Doom construct his armor so that they can free him. | |

Refusal of the Call: Subverted — Adam Warlock calls in the Hulk to help out, but he refuses as the Avengers are there and he's still quite sore with them. As this was the point where Green Hulk, Grey Hulk and Banner had become Professor Hulk, Captain America realizes it's time to put aside their differences and decides to clear the air once everything is over. Hulk is fine with this and finally joins. | |

Willfully Weak: When the mortal heroes come to take down Thanos or die trying, Thanos is one second away from just smiting them instantly with his full might before Mephisto convinces him that all girls including Mistress Death are attracted to the sight of an underdog overcoming perilous odds with nothing but raw determination. Thanos agrees and cuts off his access to all gems except for the Power Gem... giving the heroes a .05% chance of winning. | |

Retcon | |

Retcon: While Jim Starlin had already introduced the Infinity Gems in the 1970s during his run on Warlock (1967), they were called Soul Gems back then, and they all looked the same and had similar powers, instead of each Gem controlling a different aspect of existence. This was still the case when they were used in Steve Engelhart's Silver Surfer run, as well as during Starlin's own run on the title that lead to The Infinity Gauntlet. It was only in Thanos Quest that Starlin established the Gems as having different, unique powers and colors. | |

What If? | |
| The Infinity Gauntlet (Comic Book) / int_bad22526 | comment |
What If?: An issue of What If? is devoted to exploring what would have happened if the Silver Surfer had successfully snatched the Infinity Gauntlet from Thanos's hand at that pivotal moment. Instead of surrendering it to Warlock, as Adam had planned all along, the Surfer keeps it, and very quickly jumps off the slippery slope in trying to become a "benevolent God". It ends when Shalla-Bal, his long-lost love, convinces him of the error of his ways, and, together, they destroy the Gauntlet and the Infinity Gems, seemingly killing themselves in the process, but actually disappearing to live simple, mortal lives on an unknown world. | |

The Story That Never Was: Thanos manages to get the Infinity Gauntlet, a powerful Applied Phlebotinum that can modify everything, so he erases the half of sentient life of the universe to please Death, among other things, like defeating the Cosmic Entities of the Marvel Universe. After the battle against the Mad God, Adam Warlock finally gets the Infinity Gauntlet from Thanos and uses it to Set Right What Once Went Wrong by restoring all the lives lost in the event (not just the ones erased by Thanos but the deaths of heroes battling Thanos, too) and also makes everyone in the universe think it was All Just a Dream. | |

When the battle escalates to Cosmic Entity proportions, the shockwaves from the assault reach so far out into the Universe that Earth is simultaneously thrown out of orbit and rubbed against dimensional distortions, opening portals into the Negative Zone. With Warlock and the Surfer fighting just to survive, the Cosmics embroiled in much bigger issues, and the Watcher narrating the disaster as a sidenote, it was only Nebula unwittingly undoing this with her universal Reset Button that prevented a dead Earth's conquest by Annihilus from becoming a small footnote in cosmic history. | |

In this future, even the few who survived the battle with Thanos such as the Hulk, Doctor Doom, and Drax end up getting killed before Adam Warlock ends up falling in battle while the Surfer is treated as Thanos' personal lapdog. | |

Continuity Snarl | |
| The Infinity Gauntlet (Comic Book) / int_df582b0b | comment |
Continuity Snarl: Wolverine is shown operating on Earth while Cyclops is still a member of X-Factor during the brief period of time that X-Factor was wearing blue and gold uniforms. However, they didn't have this outfit switch until after the X-Men, Wolverine included, were whisked off into outer space to rescue Professor Xavier, and by the time they returned to Earth they were immediately swept up in an event that saw the X-Factor members rejoining the X-Men by the story's end. As a result, the two's appearances here completely contradict one another. | |

Hero Killer | |
| The Infinity Gauntlet (Comic Book) / int_e16fb8ca | comment |
Hero Killer: Thanos and Terraxia, they killed most of the Marvel heroes that attacked them, including but not limited to: Terraxia ripping Iron Man's head off as well as beating Spider-Man to death with a rock, while Thanos blows up Cloak, suffocates Cyclops to death, used his eye beams to vaporize Quasar and snapped Captain America's neck with a single strike. Though they all came back to life at the end thanks to Nebula hitting the Reset Button. | |

No Man Should Have This Power | |
| The Infinity Gauntlet (Comic Book) / int_e888fbd8 | comment |
No Man Should Have This Power: Defied, Adam Warlock ends up the bearer of the gauntlet at the end, and he intends to use it well. In the epilogue, he set his animosity aside and briefly visits Thanos (who, at the end of it all, ended up surviving the events) and asks for advice. When Adam leaves, Thanos, for his part, is relieved to be rid of the gauntlet. | |

The Starscream | |
| The Infinity Gauntlet (Comic Book) / int_eedee4d | comment |
The Starscream: Mephisto, to Thanos. Like Warlock, he manipulated Thanos's reactions to make him vulnerable to the theft of the Gauntlet; he was even instrumental in getting Thanos to "power down" from the Gauntlet's omnipotence and give the Earth heroes a fighting chance, much to Eros's astonishment. Unfortunately, he played his hand too early and telegraphed his assault, and was almost destroyed for his betrayal. | |

Abstract Apotheosis | |
| The Infinity Gauntlet (Comic Book) / int_f03c046 | comment |
Abstract Apotheosis: Thanos was defeated when he abandoned his body and became/replaced Eternity at the head of the Cosmic Beings... and failed to realize that the Gauntlet itself, which sustained his new existence, was still on his lifeless body's hand and within easy reach of vengeful relatives. | |
