Let's get straight into this shall we?
When Marvel Phase One started we didn't really know what to expect apart from that we were getting an Avenger's Assemble Movie.
But along the way, in THOR we saw something teased...
With the Infinity Gauntlet being shown in THOR everyone went crazy, well why would they you may ask? Because of this guy... or alien if you prefer...
This is Thanos, he is a Titan, also referred to as "The Mad Titan" And no wonder why, he is one of THE most powerful villains to ever come across, well, the Universe aswell as the Avengers.
So anyway back on track, we were teased with the Gauntlet but with no confirmed questions as to why it was their.
So the came the Captain America where we were introduced to the Tesseract, then it appeared in The Avenger's where it shows to hold unlimited power.
It was then confirmed later on that it is an Infinity Gem by Volstagg at the end credit scene in Thor: The Dark World where him and Sif are taking the Aether to the Collector to lock away and keep safe because "It is too dangerous to keep two Infinity Stones so close together" as Volstagg explains.
So with that being said we now move into the "Aether"
A substance powerful enough that if used correctly has the power to effectively "Blackout" the universe turning everything into dark matter. When it's not being used to kill everything it gives the user power, and lots of it, it has the ability for the user to be able to defend itself, and allows you strength, lots of it.
So, here we have two Infinity Stones confirmed by the end of the movie. But which are they?
Well, it's no question in my mind that the Aether is definitely the Power Gem, it just screams that to me, and of course their is the Tesseract, this could either be the Mind Gem or the Space Gem, Mind is possible because Loki's staff/spear (Which is powered by the Tesseract) has the power to change people and make them his "Slaves" He uses it to control their minds, but, however we see it has the ability to teleport people in space, so that is unconfirmed, yet.
So what about now? Well, at the end credit scene of The Avenger's, we saw Thanos standing up from his throne and turning to the camera, grinning.
Now, what is interesting is that the Chitauri Leader says to Thanos "To challenge them is to court Death" Now here is two definitions of what "Court" means
1.Be involved with (someone) romantically, with the intention of marrying.
2.Pay special attention to (someone) in an attempt to win their support or favor
Now Death is a woman.
Well supernatural being if you like, who of which Thanos is in love with, I won't go into the details but in the Graphic Novel "The Infinity Gauntlet" Thanos spends the entire Novel trying to prove his love to her. She is closely linked to the Infinity story.
Now, here we look to the future, we recently just got the Trailer to Guardians of the Galaxy, and see this Orb:
Now with the films story description it states that this Orb has the power to literally destroy the universe, so that got me thinking that this could be the Reality Gem, it would make sense right? But we won't know until it's mentioned by the collector or someone else. As we know the collector is on the hunt for the gems because when he get the Aether from Volstagg he states "One down, five to go" He could be working for Thanos or being forced to as to give away Thanos' identity so he doesn't alert the Avengers until the Proper time.
So now we have three more gems to be mentioned, but I don't think we'll see anymore of them until Age of Ultron where one may get mentioned and in Phase Three which will build up to Thanos wielding The Infinity Gauntlet.
So this is the end of this huge Editorial, I hope you people liked it as this is my first Article posted and I'm only 15.
What is next for the Mad Titan and the Gems?
We can only wait for more films of Phase 2 and 3 to be released
