The MCU Infinity Stones have played a major role from the very beginning of the franchise, and this is a guide to their origins, powers, and potential future. Far from being mere plot McGuffins for villains to wield, the Infinity Stones have only increased in importance as the film franchise evolved. In Guardians Of The Galaxy, The Collector explains the origins of these all-powerful gems, revealing they’re remnants of six singularities that were compressed into stones following the Big Bang. In Avengers: Infinity War, Doctor Strange reveals to Tony Stark that each stone controls an aspect of existence itself, which can be observed in how the Infinity Stones' colors match their corresponding singularity's other manifestations in the multiverse.
An Infinity Stone on its own is a powerful weapon, but when they're all combined, the user gains near-infinite power. Each phase of the MCU has revealed more about the Infinity Stones, leading to Thanos' quest to wipe out half of all life in the universe in Avengers: Infinity War and the Avengers' mission to undo the snap in Avengers: Endgame. The Infinity Gauntlets allow both universe-wide changes to happen, putting each of the Stone's abilities to work with each other to achieve it. However, they're difficult to manufacture and are unable to prevent the life-threatening physical toll that using all six Infinity Stones entails.
