After attaining the stone, Thanos is confronted by some of the Avengers, the Masters of the Mystic Arts and the Guardians of the Galaxy. In “Avengers: Infinity War,” Thanos traded the soul of his favorite daughter, Gomora, who despised Thanos and his motives, to gain the Soul Stone. The Reality Stone’s job is to warp matter into dark matter called Aether, granting Thanos temporary power over reality and allowing him to create illusions which helped him defeat of The Guardians of the Galaxy.
Thanos found this red stone in a collector’s museum in Knowhere. After gaining this stone and killing Loki in the process, Thanos gained the ability to bounce between worlds to retrieve the rest. It has the power to create portals and bridges into different dimensions and places. This blue stone previously powered Loki’s scepter.
With the help of The Power Stone, Thanos was able to swiftly retrieve the rest. The purple stone, the first obtained by Thanos, grants its wielder extreme energy manipulation capabilities and the ability to destroy worlds with a simple punch to the ground. As of the end of “Avengers: Infinity War,” half of the universe’s life is wiped and Thanos, injured from the sheer power he excercised with the Inifinity Gauntlet, has sought repose on a far-off planet and the Avengers, now fewer in number, must find a way to defeat Thanos and undo the damage he caused.
Tremendously powerful on their own, the powers of the stones can be combined and magnified when combined in the Infinity Gauntlet. With a snap of his fingers, he was able to turn half of the life in the universe to dust in his attempt to achieve balance. The six Infinity Stones unified in the Infinity Gauntlet give Thanos ultimate power.
