Hello CBM users, Hybrid here to share where/when we might have seen infinity gems in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) films...so let's begin!



1) Space Gem:
I believe the "tesseract" is truly the space gem, for many reasons. The main reason is because all we saw it do was teleport/transport objects or open space bridges. This would also explain why Thanos wanted it so badly, even though he has a history with the cosmic cube. Overall, let's go over what we saw it do...

Thor: Odin used it to transport to Earth from presumably Asgard.

Captain America: Red Skull was transported to an unknown location in space...and it could be argued so were people shot with the hydra guns.

Avengers: It opened up space bridges in space allowing the Chitauri to invade from an unknown part of space, transported Loki, & transported Loki & Thor back to Asgard.



2) Mind Gem:
I think, and many others too, think the "gem" on Loki's staff given by Thanos was the mind gem. The reason? it allowed Loki to control people's minds with a touch and was also the only object to be able to pierce the "tesseract"/space gems energy field.



3) Soul Gem:
I think that we most likely will see the soul gem with Adam Warlock in the upcoming Guardians of the Galaxy movie...



4) Power Gem, Time Gem, Reality Gem:
I think, and take this with a massive grain of salt, that we may see these gems on the Mandarin in Iron Man 3. The reason being that they could be what gives him those various abilities within those rings.



Side Note: the "tesseract" & the orb on Loki's staff have look to it, check out the pictures to see what I mean.

You are right but the tesseract is not purple but it did transport people. Maybe we will see the space one later on.

Everything is smart and original, but Adam warlock is NOT in GOTG. They said that the people on the promo art are the only members. starlord, rocket raccoon, griot, drax and gamora

Michael Korvac can warp reality. Give him the Reality Gem, replace Mandarin's with the Soul Gem.

Man, I know this is a realization occurring just now, but if that's true and they never mention these gems until about Avengers 2 I would have to hand it to Marvel for integration every piece of story so fluidly.

I'm only wondering what the general public's reaction to this might be... 1) Holy crap, no way! I didn't see that coming... or 2) I see what they did there. Making the weapon need all those things from previous films. Touche Marvel, touche. The latter of course being from people who have no concept of the Infinity Gauntlet.

@Hybrid0027 yea but its the cosmic cube but with similarities of the space gem i just cant wait for thor 2 because **spoilers** there might be a seen where the other and the new and improved chitauri destroy the odin's trophy room and steals the infinity gauntlet and all the trophies lead to dr.strange,surtur and more

@Hybrid0027, Yes, but Warlock, as far as we know, won't be featured. Just a bit of speculation on my part.

Similiar how in the Iron Man films The Ten Rings Organazation were associated with each of his vilians cuz they were all wearing rings on their hands...

Iron Man 1: Most noticeably Raza was constantly rubbing the ring on his hand when on screen and Stane had one also, u can see it the most when he's putting the Arc Reactor into Iron Monger.

Iron Man 2: Justin Hammer had a ring as well that can be seen when having a meal with Vanko after he breaks him out of jail.

The power of bling.

I know NOTHING of GOTG, but I think you're onto something with the Tesseract and the Soul Gem. The only flaw I'd see in that theory is why Thanos or the Other would give Loki the Soul Gem to retrieve the Space Gem?

I could have sworn that, in Thor, they showed that there was another Tesseract, or "Casket", in store on Asgard? I just assumed they were two of the same thing. Was I wrong?

Though, if they do have the Infinity Gems, I think at least one would be on Earth, thus why they invaded during the Avengers... And I'd take a guess that one is on Asgard and would play a role in The Dark World...

I'd also hope that, since the Russians wouldn't really be a good villain anymore, that Thanos is somehow tied into the pot of The Winter Solider... dunno what kind of plan a cosmic god would need Captain America's old friend for, but it would be cool if they can tie that in.

This is a little, thin, to say the least. These connections you made are really just speculation.

The tesseract is not an infinity gem, that would be weak as hell. Ghe only one we MAY have seen is on Loki's staff, but even that is kind of lame. He had to touch people with it to take them over. Infinity Gems are way more powerful than that.

I swear if they water down the infinity gauntlet in these movies then it will ruin the whole thing they've been striving for, which is keeping close to the comics. If the Avengers beat thw IG by themselves, I'll stop watching Marvel movies.

The Tesseract IS the cosmic cube. Why would you say it isnt? You say that we only saw it open portals, but you seem to forget that it was also used a giant energy source. Shield was studying it to find its true potential, we just never got to see anyone unlock it.

Bottom line is, all of these theories are pretty baseless aside from the mind gem, and possibly Warlock showing up with the soul gem in gotg.

But Mandarin having possession of 3 infinity gems? No way.

And again, the tesseract being the reality gem would just be weak. Why not have both exist in the films?
CorndogBurglar
CorndogBurglar - 8/6/2012, 5:27 PM
And like someone else said, why would Thanos gove away and infinity gem in return for one? That doesnt make any sense.
CorndogBurglar
CorndogBurglar - 8/6/2012, 5:32 PM
Also, they never called it the cosmic cube, but that doeant mean it isnt the cube. Look anywhere on the net. Its the Cube, dude.

They never called Salina Kyle Catwoman in TDKR,, but did that make her any less Catwomam?

CorndogBurglar - 8/6/2012, 5:53 PM
I know what the cosmic cubes are in comics, in fact I have the first appearance of it, and you kind of skimmed over their powers. Cosmic cubes can warp reality, and includes teleportation and opening gateways.

The cosmic cubes are fully capable of doing what they did in the movies.

Thing is, if Thanos was meaning to assemble the Infinity Gems, why would he give Loki one? The Infinity Gauntlet that we saw on display a few years back at Comic-Con and for a frame in Thor, may actually be the genuine article.

I HOPE there's more to Marvel master plan than just collecting bling.

@tainted87 he give loki the gem so he could take over the earth and to get the cube for him. But i think after that thanos would probably betrayed loki after

Tainted87 - 8/6/2012, 7:52 PM
It just seems counter-productive to trade one gem for another.
Tainted87
Tainted87 - 8/6/2012, 8:25 PM
Oh, I agree that it IS the mind gem (I don't know why I am always automatically typing "soul gem") - I mean how else would you explain Banner turning into the Hulk uncontrollably after picking up the staff? Also, it definitely takes control of the mind... the writing is on the wall.

But why not send THE OTHER to retrieve it? Because we wouldn't have the story.

I'm not complaining, I just don't approve of Thanos' methods.

Loki and the Mind Gem, possibly. But, I mostly have to agree with Corndog on this one. I think the connections you're making are stretching it way too far.
I think Phase 2 will give us many more clues as to what Thanos has planned for the MCU.
CorndogBurglar
CorndogBurglar - 8/7/2012, 1:09 PM
Honestly, even the gem in the staff looks way too big to be an infinity gem.
HaroldOfGalactus
HaroldOfGalactus - 8/8/2012, 6:46 AM
one small problem with this theory bro.....

In the avengers movie, Nick Fury tells the team on the helicarrier that loki's staff is powered by the cube. so the "mind gem" and "space gem" in this case are the same thing.
HaroldOfGalactus
HaroldOfGalactus - 8/8/2012, 6:54 AM
thats how in the opening scene when loki teleports into the underground shield base, he points the staff at a couple of agents and blasts them away exactly the same way the hydra weapons worked in CA:TFA. that and the later comment by cap "That thing works like a hydra weapon"
HaroldOfGalactus
HaroldOfGalactus - 8/8/2012, 1:22 PM
55 minutes into the movie, right after Stark makes the jab at banner for turning into a green rage monster, Cap says "lets start with that stick of his. It may be magical but it works an awful lot like a hydra weapon" to which Fury replies "i dont know about that but it is powered by the cube. And I'd like to know how loki used it to turn two of the sharpest men I know into his personal flying monkeys"
HaroldOfGalactus
HaroldOfGalactus - 8/8/2012, 1:26 PM
this is also how they were able to use loki's staff to get a reading on the gamma levels the tesseract would put off
