Avengers: Infinity War's Infinity Stones: Locations, Powers, More Explained

Thanos is waging war against the Avengers and their fellow heroes but he needs to get his hands on all six Infinity Stones first! Find out each of the stones' powers, their locations and what happens if the Mad Titan fills up his Infinity Gauntlet. Spoilers: People may die.

The Avengers are preparing to go to war with Thanos (Josh Brolin) in their biggest challenge yet--one some of them will likely not survive--and it's all over a bunch of rocks. So what exactly makes the stones in Avengers: Infinity War so valuable?

The Infinity Stones, when brought together, would give Thanos the power to wipe out half of the universe. On their own, though, these six gems are still pretty powerful--whether it's the mind stone and it's telekinetic abilities or the time stone's power of time travel. In fact, the mind stone even powers Vision (Paul Bettany).

Thus far, each of them has been introduced in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, save for the soul stone. That's the wild card heading into Infinity War. Whether it will be introduced or saved for Avengers 4 remains to be seen. However, whenever it does arrive, it can only bring bad news for the Avengers.

Take a look at the video above to learn everything there is to know about the Infinity Stones, then check out GameSpot's comprehensive coverage of Avengers Infinity War. The next and biggest chapter in the MCU hits theaters on April 27.
