What Is The Purpose Of The Gauntlet in Infinity War?

The gauntlet has the ability to create and destroy on a gigantic scale.

For Thanos, Warlock and the Avengers the aim is to retain the gauntlet and use it to bring back Eternity so that the Magus and doppergangers can be destroyed.

To distract the Avengers the double of Mr Fantastic detonates a gamma bomb outside the pizza shop they have met in.

That bomb does not cause as much damage as would have been expected as the explosion is contained by the Invisible Woman and the radiation from the blast is redirected into outer space.

 The Magus and the double of Thanos then launch a surprise attack, giving the heroes the mistaken impression that Magus has formed an alliance with the Titan.

The heroes eventually locate Magus’ base and defeat the dopplegangers who were there and releasing their captive comrades.

Quasar gets there alongside the Ultimate Nullifier, joined later by Doctor Doom and also Kang the Conqueror. Doom and Kang were hoping to gain some power for themselves.

Magus stops the plan to defeat him by capturing Warlock and the gauntlet yet gets wounded himself during the fighting. He then loses the gauntlet to Doom and Kang who want to harness it’s power.

Magus discovers the cubes have been stolen yet still manages to defeat Doom who had already betrayed Kang. Doom attempts to persuade Magus to hand over the gauntlet.

However by that point Eternity has fully recovered and requests that the gauntlet is switched back on, and that request is granted by the Living Tribunal.

The reactivated gauntlet assists Magus in defeating Doom and Quasar is dissolved, and could not be saved by the Ultimate Nullifier.

What Is The Plot of Infinity War?

Andrew Warlock had considered himself to be a hero, yet his actions would unintentionally give Thanos his opportunity to destroy half the universe.

When he had control of the gauntlet, Warlock had used it to get rid of the good and bad parts of his being so that he would only make wise and logical decisions when using the gauntlet.

    By expelling his good and bad aspects, Warlock brings back his evil persona, Magus. On his return Magus wants his revenge against both Warlock and Thanos.

First Magus decides to gain extra power to improve his chances of success. Magus collects five cosmic cubes, and uses the power from them to capture and contain the cosmic being Eternity. Then he creates his own realm as well as an army of evil doubles of all the superheroes.

The plans of Magus are worked out by Thanos after he finds the empty cubes and he decides to warn Warlock.

Infinity Crossover : Who Is Fighting Against Thanos

Thanos and his forces came to Earth and did not have the easy conquest that he would have expected. Against overwhelming odds the Illuminati held their own.

Wakhanda was successfully defended, the X Men were stopped by two of the Titan’s soldiers though it is not clear whether or not they had been defeated. The city of Atlantis had already been captured, while Namor lied to stay alive, with Mr Fantastic and Iron Man held the attackers back from the vantage point of Avengers Tower.

t was not Dr Strange’s finest hour yet he survived, on the other hand Ebony Maw seemed to have a lot of superhero potential and should appear in later adventures.

Yet the star of the show, or at least of the fighting on Earth was the Black Bolt. He had already been hiding and protecting one of Thanos’ sons.

Furthermore, Black Bolt has been plotting to find ways to restore the Inhumans to their full fighting power. Achieving that aim would make it more difficult for Thanos to get what he wants from Earth.

When Thanos comes down to Earth to discuss his demands, it is with Black Bolt he holds talks with. Black Bolt does a great job of talking for the whole planet.

What Thanos did not know was that Black Bolt and his brother Maximus the Mad had made preparations to deal with such a threat. At the core of the plan is the bomb that Maximus built, it is set off by the screams of Black Bolt.

Besides the explosives the bomb contained Terrigan Mist, which activates the full powers of the Inhumans and massively reinforces the number of defender Earth has. The mist also restores full power to Thanos’ son. It is a power that can rival his father’s.

This is a compelling story and it is intriguing to find out how Black Bolt does in stopping Thanos.

Why Is The Death Of Captain Marvel A Classic Comic Book Story?

Jim Starlin’s graphic novel was a major milestone for the comic book publisher. It was one of their first forays into storytelling beyond their regular monthly comics.

The Death Of Captain Marvel also took on the daunting task of killing off a character that had been established in the Marvel Universe for the better part of three decades.

Death is eventual for all of us, and it’s a difficult subject that the writer/artist handled with elegance and compassion.

What Are The Main Conflicts In Marvel’s Infinity Crossover?

There are three main conflicts ongoing throughout the Infinity story, these conflicts intertwine with each other and that keeps you interested in events throughout the whole story.

    The Avengers against the Builders

This was the conflict that had already begun at the start of Infinity. The majority of the Avengers are already fighting the Builders with their galactic allies, the Galactic Council including the Kree and the Spartoi races.

The Builders are so powerful that the Avengers have to join forces with all the alien empires within the universe to have any hope of winning. The threat of the Builders meant forming an alliance with recent foes the Skrulls.

During the fighting the Avengers show the Galactic Council what they are capable of doing. Other comics are represented by Gladiator from X Men, Kree from Fantastic Four, and Spartoi is from Guardians of Galaxy

    The Illuminati Group

The members of the Illuminati Group are Black Panther, Iron Man, Mr Fantastic, Namor, Dr Strange, Beast and Black Bolt. This group are tasked with stopping any attacks on the Earth whilst the rest of the Avengers are fighting the Builders.

Black Bolt, Black Panther and Iron Man have to lead the fight against Thanos and his forces. The Mad Titan sets his new generals, the Black Order or Cull Obisidian against Earth.

The main part of the storyline is spread across the Avengers and New Avengers series and were written by Hickman. There were more parts to the story told as Crossovers in other comics, and it was also included in the new Mighty Avengers.

It is during such times of danger that the greatest minds among the superheroes get together to find ways to avoid disaster and to win in the end.

    The fight to stop Thanos

The third fight is against Thanos and his forces, who attack Earth to find and take back the infinity gems. The titan had assumed that it would be much easier to do so with most of the Avengers away.

The Builders presented Thanos with the chance he had been waiting for to attack Earth as he knew it now had weaker defensive cover. He had been watching the planet closely ever since the Illuminati had used the Infinity Gauntlet.

Besides the infinity gems, Thanos goes to Earth to track down any of his children who were already there. He kills all the offspring is able to locate. That information was provided in the Thanos Rising story.
