Everyone in the MCU has been fighting over the Infinity Stones for years now, even if movie audiences didn’t always realize it. But what exactly are all these glowy rocks, and how were all the Infinity Stones finally brought together? Here’s how Thanos, the Mad Titan got all six Infinity Stones on his pretty purple fingers.
Pretty much everyone in the MCU – from Peter Quill to Cull Obsidian – has tried to get their hands on an Infinity Stone at one time or another. But with everybody searching for these magical rocks, we should probably ask: where did the Infinity Stones come from?
Well, Marvel revealed the Stones’ backstory in Guardians of the Galaxy, when the ragtag sci-fi heroes visit an eccentric antiquer called the Collector, played by Benicio del Toro. As the Collector explains to Star-Lord and his crew, before the creation of the universe, there were six singularities. Then, after the Big Bang exploded everything into existence: “…the remnants of these systems were formed into concentrated ingots: Infinity Stones.”
As a result, these gems are incredibly powerful, with each one controlling an element of the universe: power, space, reality, time, the soul, and the mind. And unless you’re some sort of celestial being, you can’t touch these stones with your bare hand – not for very long anyway. That’s why Infinity Stones tend to show up inside orbs, scepters, glowing blue cubes… or a shiny gold glove.
