The Infinity Gems in Marvel's Cinematic Universe

The Infinity Gems are six stones that grant their holders amazing powers. In the comics, the mad titan Thanos has taken all the gems for himself several times in his Infinity Gauntlet to grant himself power that can only be compared to that of a god's. In the Marvel Cinematic Universe, we have seen several of these gems, and although their colors have been changed, here are all the gems we've seen so far:

Space Gem: Tesseract

This gem has shown that it has the ability to bend space in the Avengers movie by teleporting the entire Chitari army to Earth under the command of Loki. This gem could also have teleported Red Skull away, since his body was never found.

Reality gem: Aether

This gem was the red goo that took on Jane Foster as a host in Thor: The Dark World. It was used by Malekith, king of the dark elves, to also most bring all of the nine realms together.

Power Gem: ?

This gem wasn't addressed by name throughout the entire Guardians of the Galaxy movie, but was used by Ronan the Accuser to almost destroy an entire planet.

Mind Gem: ?

This gem is assumed by fans to be the glowing blue bit in Loki's scepter. The scepter in question was also seen the Avengers 2 trailer, meaning it could be the thing that gives Ultron his sentience.

Soul Gem: ?
This gem is assumed to be the yellow stone seen on the Vision at the end of the Avengers 2 trailer, meaning it could be what gives the Vision both his sentience and his humanity.

Time gem: ?

Inhumans Officially on Marvels Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

Last Tuesday, Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. returned from its brake. I was exited for the return, because on the midseason finale we had our first look at the Marvel Cinematic Universe's version of (some of) the Inhumans. After watching Sky and Reyna go into their chrysalises after being subjected to the mutagen, we saw our first Inhuman, the Reader. Then we waited nine weeks as Marvel replaced Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. with Agent Carter, and now its back, with Inhumans in semi-full swing. As well as getting to see Reyna's new form, we got glimpses of Sky's new earthquake themed abilities, a look at the Readers powers, and a flashback to Sky's mother helping out a young Reader. The new episode was fast paced, action packed, and shows you what is soon to come in Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.!

Avengers Age of Ultron Trailer #3

Earlier today, Marvel released the third trailer for the upcoming Avengers sequel; Avengers Age of Ultron. This trailer showed us more of the movies villains, including hints to what Ultron's goal is and how Scarlet Witch and Quick Silver come into play. In my opinion, the biggest moment in the trailer is at the very end when we get a glimpse at the Vision. See the trailer for yourself here.

Superman's New Power

Recently in DC's Superman issue #38, the Man of Steel was given his first new power since 1949, the Super Flare! This power allows Superman to expel all the solar energy that his cells have soaked up in a huge blast. Unfortunately, this leaves him powerless for a day or two. This will probably be used to put Superman in situations where he has to use his brains in stead of his brawn because he wouldn't be able to beat the enemy into submission.

Spider Man Joins the Marvel Cinematic Universe

Marvel and Sony finally put aside their differences, meaning that Spiderman will once again see a good movie! Starting with a role in the upcoming Captain America: Civil War film. This is perfect, seeing that Spiderman had a large role in the Civil War comic. In return for letting Spider Man into the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Marvel will likely help Sony make a new, good Spider Man movie! That's about it, thanks for reading!

CW's The Flash Introduces Grodd

In the last couple of episodes of CW's the Flash, we got our first look at the shows version of long standing Flash villain, Gorilla Grodd. The show has so far managed to make amazing, realistic effects on its low budget, and this 7' tall behemoth is no exception. As with many of the villains on the show, Grodd has a different origin than the comics. Instead of being a member of a race of super intelligent apes, Grodd is now a normal gorilla that gained his telepathic abilities from the particle accelerator explosion. It hasn't been confirmed, but it seems that Dr. Wells purposely had Grodd exposed to the explosion, so that Grodd could serve some sort of purpose. The Flash is currently on break, but when it returns expect to see more of Gorilla Grodd!

Are you lost? Watch the Flash on the CW, 8/9c!

Avengers 2: Merchandise Before the Movie!

Even though the movie hasn't come out yet, we've already had our first look at some sweet... toys? First, from the people at POP, we have the whole Avengers line-up, Ultron, and a extra large, 6" Hulkbuster! No word on when this figure will be available, but I will undoubtably be in line to get one.

Next up is LEGO, who has given us our first glimpse at some of the scenes in the movie, as well as the many models of Ultron, a look at the new Vision, several Iron man suits, and a Hulkbuster made of both traditional and Bionicle parts. This seems like a much better choice than making the giant suit a BigFig.

Finally, Hasbro has announced a whole Avengers Masion playset, complete with several Iron Man armors, Hulk, and other stuff. Just look at the picture, that's all I did!

Red Lantern Guy Gardner

I recently picked up a Red Lantern comic, something I don't usually do. Apparently the hot-headed Green Lantern Guy Gardner had replaced his green ring for a red one once again. This change could not be more welcome with me! This guy was always getting into fight with other members of the Green Lantern Corp, so what better corp to switch to than the one fueled by rage! I'm pretty sure he originally joined the corp to go undercover, but I have a feeling he won't be leaving for a while, seeing that he is now on of the most popular Red Lanterns, more so than Atrocitus, but less than Dex-Starr. On the other hand, by putting Guy in the Red Lantern Corp, DC has made him a more important character. Up until that point he had just been an angry GL, but now he has character and purpose. Also, he lost the dorky hair.

Speaking of Red Lanterns, I've also found that Supergirl had been one. This surprised me since I hadn't remembered her as being so angry. Also, I think Dex-Starr is the best Red Lantern ever. If you haven't read his short origin, you should check it out. You can find a video about it by YouTuber Comicstorian.

Lobo Review

I loved the old Lobo, in all his fraggin' glory. He was like a cross between Superman, Wolverine, and a biker. Now they have given Lobo his own series, but there is some guy that looks like a college student on the cover. Well, spoiler alert, because this is the "actual" Lobo, and the other fraggin' Lobo just took his name. Here's where the story starts; the new Lobo just killed the fraggin' Lobo and got arrested, blah blah hired to kill eight assassins, blah blah new team of annoying humans. Don't think this means I don't like the book, I do, but they could have kept the fraggin' Lobo around at least, and not have killed him.

Batman V. Superman Update

An earlier post on this movie was a bunch of gibberish and speculation. This time I'll try to just use speculation.

WHAT WE KNOW:
Batman and Superman will fight!
Wonder Woman will be in this!
This movie will set up all later DC superhero movie- wait. What?

Marvel spent years leading up to the Avengers and giving all their characters solo films so we could get to know their characters. DC is just shoving a Justice League prequel down our throats and hoping that it will make us want to see the they're later movies. This is wrong. You don't build pyramids pointy side down, and you don't give us a superhero team-up movie before the solo films. DC says that Wonder Woman and Flash movies is in the oven, hopefully Batman, Green Lantern, Aquaman*, and Cyborg movies too, so why not give us those first, then Batman V. Superman, then Justice League. Also, how has a Shazam movie been confirmed before any of the ones mentioned in the previous sentence?! Anyway, what I'm saying is, I don't have high hopes for this film, but maybe I'm wrong. Batman V. Superman, no pressure.

*(Don't laugh, I explain his amazing-ness HERE)

Polls! Polls Everywhere!

Hey guys! I've put a poll somewhere on the left of the screen! If you care, go check it out, if you don't care, still go check it out! The current poll is on upcoming movies, if you don't like that poll, or have an idea for another one, please comment! I can't fix what I'm doing wrong if I don't know what I'm doing wrong!

Ant Man Trailer Analysis

A month or so ago, Marvel released the first trailer for Ant Man. From the trailer, we've found that the movie will feature Scott Lang, the second Ant Man, being mentored by the first Ant Man, Hank Pym, on how to be Ant Man. It also seems that Pym will be using Lang to get Pym's company back from the movie's main villain; Darren Cross. Cross's story will be altered from the comics, as he is apparently taking the mantle of Yellow Jacket. ImDb tells us that one of the female characters we saw in the trailer is Hope Van Dyne, does this mean we'll see the Wasp? I HOPE so! Ha! I'm hilarious... Anyway, ImDb also tells us that both Howard Stark and Peggy Carter will play a part in the movie, most likely in flashbacks to when Pym was Ant Man. That's all I got, thanks for reading!

Sorry for bad quality, but you can guess what the dot is!

First look at Yellow Jacket!

Flash Review

The Flash has almost reached its mid season finally, so I think it's about time to write a review. So far, we've seen Barry Allen go up against many of his signature baddies, such as Weather Wizard, Captain Cold, Plastique, and the Mist, and learn how to better use his powers. Not even half way through the season, The Flash is running up vertical surfaces, across water, and punching the iron of a meta's face. If you haven't watched the show, you won't get that.

Then there is the Professor Zoom thing. It's obviously Dr. Wells. He can actually walk, he stabs people, and has a subscription to a newspaper from the future! It's almost as if they WANT us to think he is Prof- Wait, that's it! They want us to think he is Prof. Zoom, so when they reveal he's not, we're surprised! Or maybe they just think we're oblivious. Either way, looking forward to talking about the Flash/Arrow special!

Oh, by the way, looking forward to seeing the Atom, Firestorm, Killer Frost,Mirror Master, and Cap. Boomerang. I know they're coming, but not when.
