And he would go aloing with it just because him and Strange are such good friends?

Silver Surfer 34 is the return of Thanos.

The first appearance of the Infinity Gauntlet - that is, Thanos' glove with all six of the "Infinity Gems" attached to it and working in unison - is Thanos Quest 2.

The "Infinity Gems" made their first appearances in various Marvel comics from the sixties to the eighties, usually along with the characters who owned them - The so-called Elders of the Universe (like The Gardener, the Grandmaster, etc.).

I suppose this could be a bit interesting if Thanos Quest #2 has a splash page featuring the completed Infinity Gauntlet. I know the gauntlet itself becomes something of a relic but becomes a moot point when the gems are first broken up (Infinity Watch) and eventually "dealt" with. (I do know the Magnus reformed the gauntlet in Infinity War at least once).

I'm not sure where they are now and if the gauntlet will ever return to the Marvel Universe.(shrug)

Apparently it's going to be revealed that the gems are in the possession of the members of the Illuminati. I think it was in dec or Jan Wizard.

Let me scan that..

Please do scan it in. That is ridiculous. Any broad-sweeping power that can auto-reverse the changes is a total cop-out. Didn't someone cause the Infinity Gems to never work with one-another again (guessing the Livinig Tribunal)? How are they going to explain that some mere humans made the Gems work again. The Guantlet had it's story and they should leave it alone.

Though I still don't like it, the Cosmic Cube would make more sense. The Red Skull has been using it since Captain America #1 and they've been pulling the Skull into the story as of late (last couple months). I thought that was the direction they were going. Seems like it would be perfect timing for the Cosmic Cube to leave the Cap story as it's been there for 25 issues already (and a bit too powerful).

Totally agree with Pat. The IGs are becoming the cure all. As I recall, the Living Tribunal basically (in Warlock and the Infinity Watch #1 or something) heard the petition of Eternity to never allow the gems to work together again. This was briefly reveresed in Infinity War -- where Eternity reversed his request. Long and the short of it was that the Tribunal represented some "higher" authority beyond even the Infinity Gems -- and that he could cause the Gems to stop working as one.

If they possess the Gems -- how in God's name did that happen. Where's Adam Warlock when you need him?

---

To clarify the issue about the use of the Infinity Gems/Soul Gems, at the end of the Infinity War the Living Tribunal made the statement that only Eternity could allow the gems to be used in unison, to which Eternity then stated that he would never allow them to be ever used again.

I guess this would mean that if Bendis & Co are going to make it that the Gems could be used once again in unison, then they are going to have to explain how this group were able to overcome the restrictions placed by Eternity or are they just going to say "Bugger it" and do it anyway? If they do, it'll be a disappointment.

Since Dr Strange is a Illuminati member it seems pretty simple. Just have him talk Eternity into lifting the ban...

Thanks for the explanation.

Wasn't Eternity involved in the Gods vs. Thanos fight in issue #5? Why didn't he just make them not work together during the battle. If he wasn't there, which I don't seem to recall, that would explain it.
