The upcoming Avengers: Infinity War movie is all about Thanos and the Infinity Stones, but what are they? Even though, the movies are related to the comics, many things change as the stones. Take a few minutes to refresh your mind on the stones according to the Cinematic Universe.
The Infinity Stones are six Singularities that have existed before the beginning of the universe. After the “Big Bang”, where the universe exploded in order to create its existence, these were formed into the Infinity Stones that represent aspects of the universe itself. It is said, that these stones were used by Celestials, just like Ego in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 2, to judge the worlds and its people. **FUN FACT: In the comics, they were referred to as Soul Gems but later Thanos decided “Infinity Gems” was a better name.** Lets go ahead and check out the stones.

Thanos provided Loki with this stone when he asked him for his help in order to invade Earth. It was also used by HYDRA in a series of experiments.
