Infinity Stones are a huge deal in the Marvel Universe. Be it in the comics, or in the movies, the entire storyline revolves around these 6 singularities that everyone keeps running circles around. Apparently, Thanos is the one who is behind Infinity Stones on most of the occasions, but every now and then we see one of those gems pop up with someone you would never expect.
In Infinity War, Thanos will be behind those stones, collecting these one by one to fit into his gauntlet and wreak all sorts of havoc. In his defense, he will be doing so in order to save the world from itself. He will be coming for the stones which are dispersed in 6 different places. We already saw in the trailer that he got the Space Gem and the Power Gem on his gauntlet, which he got from Loki and Xandar respectively. We also saw that Glaive was about to rip off the Mind Stone from Vision’s head, but he would supposedly fail at that point of time. The Time Stone is currently with Doctor Strange and the Reality stone is with the Collector. The location of the Soul Stone is still unknown.
But it is no surprise that Thanos is going to have all these on his gauntlet at some point of time. This was the case in the comics as well. In the new storyline of the Marvel comics, all sorts of weird and funny things keep on happening. One of the most unexpected Superhero from the MCU has got hold of an Infinity stone in the ‘Infinity Countdown’.
The events of the latest Marvel comic end with the hilarious reveal of Wolverine passing the Space Stone to a recently deceased Avenger – Black Widow. Ever since the Secret Wars storyline reset the Universe, the Infinity Stones have been out of play, but last year’s Legacy #1 brought them back alongside Wolverine to tease the next big battle to come.
These Infinity Stones have changed a few hands in the last couple of months and we have already seen villains like Super-Skrull, Ultron, and Turk Barrett have been using the Stones for their own gain. Recently, Logan possessed the Space Stone, and in a surprising and funny change of events, he has passed it on to someone who hopefully trustworthy.
Black Widow died in the ‘Secret Empire’, so, for those who haven’t been reading ‘Tales of Suspense’, it may be a shock to see Black Widow alive. Now, the Infinity Countdown has established the fact that Comic book characters don’t stay dead for very long, and the same goes for movies as well. Not much is known about Logan and how he got the Space Stone after his revival, but it seems he gained a sense of humor since his death. Logan played a move that we would usually think Deadpool would make, which is, leaving one of the most powerful objects in the world inside a toilet tank in a country almost entirely populated by criminals. Well, as funny as it may be, it was thankfully found by Black Widow who obviously is a worthy recipient.
Black Widow is a typical hero, but she is the spy, who cannot be trusted all the time as she certainly has her own agenda and methods. She has been seen piling bodies ever since she came back from the dead, but Logan is a similar character whom we could not trust having an Infinity Stone, so who is to know what could possibly happen. We can only hope for the best.
Honestly, something like this could be really amazing to see in the upcoming Black Widow solo movie. The movie will likely be set up in the future of Avengers 4, so having an Infinity Stone pop up in the movie would be something huge. For now, let’s just hope that the Infinity Stones will still remain in the MCU after Phase 3, because anything is possible, and Marvel will be turning to a new and totally unexpected leaf after Avengers 4. Still, we are not done with these Infinity Stones and would love to see one appear in the Black Widow movie, but it will be highly unlikely. The Black Widow movie will probably open up in August 2020.
