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: ?
Location Unknown

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!
