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: ?

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!

Age of Ultron Trailer: What's in Store?

I expect that anyone who breathes oxygen has seen the new Age of Ultron trailer. If you don't breath oxygen, here's it is:

Okay, now in the trailer you see several versions of Ultron, the killer robot that we expect has been built by Tony Stark. This means they are staying fairly close to the comic Ultron, who constantly rebuilds himself to become more powerful. Second, you see the twins from the after credits scene of Captain America: Winter Soldier, Scarlet Witch and Quick Silver. Although Marvel has to really try to beat X-Men: Days of Future Pasts's Quick Silver. Finally, we see Hulk destroying stuff, and even the Iron Man Hulkbuster armor about to be put to use. This could hint that Marvel is ready to shoot Hulk into space to stop him. Planet Hulk anyone? Anyway, I will be posting about the upcoming phase 3 marvel movies!

More Pop! Figures

I recently got some more of these funny figures with the big eyes. They were War Machine Mark II and  Iron Man's Starboost  armor. They are really detailed and I really want to get the rest of the set!

Question of the Week (or Year) #4

Who looks cooler? Iron Man, or Gypsy Danger from Pacific Rim? I couldn't choose so I'm asking you people instead!

New Iron Man 3 LEGO Sets

I have recently found that LEGO has made three new sets to go with the Iron Man 3 movie. These sets include Iron Man Mark 42 armor, Aldrich Killian, Pepper Potts, Tony Stark, The Manarin, and an Extremis soldier. They also had War Machine Mark 2 (Iron Patriot without the paint job) instead of Iron Patriot himself. Later I will make a post about the new Man of Steel LEGO sets!

Iron Man 3 App

This app is very similar to Temple Run where as you are constantly flying and avoiding obstacles, while collecting "Stark Credits", blasting bad guys, and biulding all Tony Stark's armors. I would be careful though considering that it has glitched a couple times and crashed my Kindle once.



Iron Man 3 Review

 Iron Man 3 was almost as good as the Avengers! The movie contained 42 different suits, a fiery regenerating army, and a lot of the same stuff as the graphic novel Iron Man: Extremis. Though I was wrong about Norman Osborn having a part, I was right about Pepper getting to wear the suit!



Mark 38: The Hulkbuster Armor know as Igor

Marvel vs. DC #1: Iron Man vs. Batman Results

I asked 25 people who would win and almost 2/3 of them voted for Batman! Here were the results:
-Batman: 16 votes
-Iron Man: 9 votes
Some of the ways Batman would win are hacking Iron Man's armor with his Bat-Computer, or throwing an exploding Batarang into the ARC reactor in Tony Starks chest!

Marvel vs. DC #1: Iron Man vs. Batman

Hey guys, this is a new thing for News On Comix: Marvel vs. DC. Here we will take heroes or villains with similar powers and see who would win. The results will be posted the next day. Our first matchup is Iron Man vs. Batman. Both are billionaire's with big toys and are part of a super team. One has a suit. One has a car named after him. Who will win? Answers tomorrow.

Movies of Summer 2013

I'm going to see Iron Man 3 on Free Comic Book Day which, strangely, is the day after it opens. The movie trailer gives you hints on what going to be in the movie. In the Iron Man 3 trailer you see extra Iron Men, Pepper Potts in the suit, and Norman Osborn in the Iron Patriot suit. Pretty crazy!

Later in the summer we'll all be seeing Man of Steel, which is said to be the stating point of the Justice League movie. This movie will feature general Zod (Yes!) and was based somewhat on the Earth One movie line. More about that later.

Don't forget the Wolverine that's coming out January 26. IMDb wouldn't give me anything useful about  the movie other than that Wolverine goes to Japan. As soon as I get more I'll post it.
