Warning! Contains spoilers for Action Comics #1043!
The Infinity Gauntlet storyline showed how terrifying Thanos and the Infinity Stones can be, but DC Comics' version of the stones are even scarier. DC and Marvel are known for constantly borrowing ideas from each other for character ideas and events. Based on the latest issue of Action Comics, DC may be borrowing the basis for Marvel’s Infinity Gauntlet storyline for their next big event after Dark Crisis.
The Infinity Stones are six gems that each grant their user control over a given aspect of the universe. The Infinity Stones formed from one of the oldest beings in the universe, who split themselves into six pieces out of loneliness. In the most iconic storyline featuring them, the Mad Titan Thanos gathered all of the Infinity Stones together into the Infinity Gauntlet and used the vast power of the Gauntlet to wipe out half of all life in the universe. While he was eventually stopped and this massive loss of life was undone, this event had a massive impact on the Marvel Universe. Now DC seems to be introducing their own analog of these Infinity stones, but when they are combined they may bring even more destruction than Thanos did.
