Infinity Gems

The Infinity Gems are 6 colored precious gemstones with vast cosmic power that were immensely powerful artifacts native to the Marvel universe and most famous for being used by the arch-villain Thanos to become, for lack of a better word, a god.

The Infinity Gems are the left over remains of a vast, omnipotent being that was said to have existed in the distant past but grew immensely lonely of its existence and thus died - it's great power forming the Infinity Gems as a by-product of its death.

The number of Infinity Gems has traditionally been six, though a seventh has been revealed more recently and are as follows:


 * Space (Purple) allows the user to command space as they see fit.
 * Mind (Blue) - allows the user to become the most powerful psychic in existence.
 * Soul (Green) - allows the user to steal, manipulate and alter souls while also being a vessel for a pocket-universe, the gem is also sentient.
 * Reality (Yellow) - allows the user to basically change reality the way the user sees fit!
 * Time (Orange) - allows the user to control time pretty much without limit.
 * Power (Red) allows the user to command all power and energy that has ever existed.
 * Ego (Gold) holds the essence of a cosmic being known as Nemesis within it, has only appeared in the limited series Avengers/Ultraforce.
