Infinity Watch: Marvel's NEW Super Team - Infinity Stones & Crazy Powers!

Get ready for a cosmic shake-up in the Marvel Universe, because the Infinity Watch is back, and it's unlike anything you've ever seen!

A Whole New Infinity Watch

Forget the old guard. This isn't your grandpappy's Infinity Watch. This time, the Infinity Stones themselves chose their hosts, merging with them to create a team of ridiculously overpowered individuals. We're talking about Avengers Annual 2024 #1 by Derek Landy and Salvador Larroca, where the whole universe learned just how amazing and unstoppable these new players can really be!

Meet the New Team

Marvel Comics really dropped a bombshell, the new team members and their abilities will shock even longtime fans. Prepare to be amazed (and maybe a little confused)! Each Infinity Stone went on a hunt to pick the perfect host! And these choices totally defy expectations.

Reality Stone: Star (Ripley Ryan) - Short-range reality manipulation. Formerly a Thunderbolt and Captain Marvel enemy. First appeared in Captain Marvel #1 by Kelly Thompson and Carmen Carnero.
Space Stone: Quantum - Close-range teleportation and portals. Used to be a henchman for the Assessor and fought Spider-Man and Iron Man. Showed up in Miles Morales: Spider-Man #7 by Saladin Ahmed and Javier Garrón.
Mind Stone: Colleen Wing - Telepathy, mind ejection, dream invasion, and psychic katana. Part of the Daughters of the Dragon and an ally of Iron Fist. From Marvel Premiere #19 by Doug Moench, Larry Hama, and Neal Adams.
Soul Stone: Multitude (Ward) - Summons lifelike energy constructs of any Marvel character. Operates solo. First appeared in Avengers Annual #1 by Jed MacKay and Travel Foreman.
Time Stone: Overtime (Hector Bautista) - Time travel and time manipulation. A solo operator, first showing up in Infinity Wars: Infinity #1 by Gerry Duggan and Mark Bagley.
Power Stone: Apex (Prince Otherone) - Enhanced physique, enhances the powers of others. A galactic mercenary and Guardians of the Galaxy ally who first popped up in Guardians of the Galaxy #3 by Al Ewing and Juan Cabal.
Death Stone: Phil Coulson - Time-of-death omnipresence and pain/death inducement. A seasoned S.H.I.E.L.D. agent who appeared first in Battle Scars #1 by Chris Yost, Cullen Bunn, Matt Fraction, and Scot Eaton.

The Surprising Choices

Some of these picks may shock you, given how these members weren't exactly paragons of virtue before their merger with the Infinity Stones. Several had villainous pasts or made some serious questionable choices in their earlier stories!

How Did This Happen?

It's Adam Warlock's fault, well, not totally his fault. But the key element here comes with 2018's Infinity Wars storyline! It involved some serious and very exciting moves!

Gamora killed Thanos with the power of the Power Stone.
This led to Gamora attempting to assemble the Infinity Stones and a very odd place called Warp World was created, filled with mashed-up Marvel characters. This essentially wipes out the previous iteration of the Infinity Watch.
Adam Warlock steps in, fixes Warp World, and decides to give each Infinity Stone its own soul!
This causes the stones to seek out new hosts!

The Most Powerful Watch Ever

Marvel is delivering an exciting iteration! If anything what stands out is that the previous incarnations of the Infinity Watch never actually saw each member fuse directly with a stone.

The original Infinity Watch was made to control the immense power of the Infinity Stones by spreading the burden, with a key person being Adam Warlock who actually got the Infinity Gauntlet first!

That previous team eventually fell, and was then taken over by Gamora during Infinity Wars!

That all means that this Infinity Watch is stronger and may lead the Marvel Universe on an unforgettable new adventure. One where time will tell what this means and if anything these amazing, unique Infinity Stones holders are some of the greatest powers the Marvel Universe has!
