* ''Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse'': The six Infinity Stones that have been introduced throughout the movies are exceptionally powerful artifacts when used individuals. And when placed in the Infinity Gauntlet, they can allow their user to perform great feats such as [[spoiler:erasing half of all life in the universe with a snap of their fingers, as Thanos does in ''Film/AvengersInfinityWar'']].
