Aside from that, the sheer impact that the Mind Stone has had on the MCU - especially for its role in creating two of its most powerful heroes (one of which can phase through matter) - is what makes the Mind Stone one of the MCU's most powerful Infinity Stones. Were it not for Vision's weakened state, a team in possession of the Mind Stone would have posed a significant threat to Thanos despite his possession of the other stones. The fact that Thanos made sure to acquire all other stones before completing the set with the Mind Stone speaks volumes. As it stands, the Mind Stone has also demonstrated dominion over hearts and minds alike and was all Ultron needed to destroy Thanos in What If.Ultron Won? Were it not for the fact that the Mind Stone, which granted various powers to Quicksilver, Scarlet Witch, and Vision, has demonstrated powers similar to both the Power and Space Stones, it would probably sit lower in the rankings. Though it is hinted that the other stones seem to have a semblance of sentience, the Mind Stone appears to be in a league of its own, operating as though it was a supremely intelligent sentient mind capable of communicating directly with Vision. Of all its abilities, however, the ability to teleport wherever the wielder pleases is kind of diminished by the presence of space-hopping spaceships and the Bifrost. Thanos even created a mini black hole on Titan in his bout with Strange, showing just one way the Space Stone could replicate the power of the Power Stone through different means. When it finally reached the hands (or gauntlet) of Thanos, however, was when the Space Stone truly demonstrated what it was capable of.Ĭomplete manipulation of space is no joke, as Thanos showed when he crushed Rhodey's armor, phased Bruce Banner into solid rock, and threw an entire moon onto Iron Man (with the help of the Power Stone). ![]() To name a few, it bestowed Carol Danvers with light-based powers, was used by HYDRA to power devastating weaponry, and repaired the Rainbow Bridge of Asgard. Due to this starring role, the Space Stone has been shown to display a plethora of powers that go beyond the manipulation of space. The Space Stone is the one that received the most fanfare owing to its prominence throughout Phase 1 in the guise of the Tesseract. Individually, however, it appears to be comparatively lacking in raw power. Red Skull also said that it had a " certain wisdom," making it seem like it holds a place of authority. In What If.Ultron Won? The Guardians of the Multiverse steal the Soul Stone from Ultron and use it to power a machine designed to destroy Infinity Stones. Instead, it seems that the Soul Stone's main power is to influence the other stones and compose an integral part of a completed Infinity Gauntlet. ![]() ![]() Incidentally, the second power it was proved to display was the ability to pinpoint Doctor Strange's soul as he attempted to overwhelm Thanos with illusory duplicates, which is a nifty feature though only under exceptionally specific circumstances. While unpleasant, it isn't too dissimilar from the pocket dimensions that a stone-less Doctor Strange could conjure up. What the Soul Stone was proved to achieve was the ability to trap souls in a " Soul World," which looks like a purgatorial pocket dimension. The Soul Stone likely chose which of the souls to eliminate in the Snap, for example, but evidently couldn't carry out the Snap on its own. The fact is that the full extent of its powers is purely speculative. Red Skull's assertion that the Soul Stone held a " special place" among the Infinity Stones also carries sinister undertones that track with its locale and mode of acquisition. Avengers: Infinity War established that the Soul Stone, unlike the others, came with its own bodyguard and harrowing gauntlet to run. The Soul Stone is the most enigmatic of all the stones and no doubt capable of far more than was depicted on-screen.
