The Power Stone

also known as The Orb

A purple singularity in a silver ball, and everyone who died reaching for it.

5 entries 4 films 1 episodes 10h 23m

The Power Stone is the only Infinity Stone whose entire origin film is about the object rather than the people who want it — Guardians of the Galaxy is a heist movie where nobody knows what they have stolen. It kills anyone who touches it alone, which is why the Guardians survive by holding it together, and why they hand it to the Nova Corps rather than keep it. Four entries on the sacred timeline, one of which is a time-travel repeat of the first.

  1. Guardians of the Galaxy

    Film · 2014122m

    Set in 2014. Peter Quill lifts the Orb from a temple on Morag, and it passes through the Broker, Gamora, the Collector and finally Ronan, who mounts the bare stone in his warhammer. The Guardians share the load between four hands to survive holding it, then leave it locked in a Nova Corps vault on Xandar.

  2. Avengers: Age of Ultron

    Film · 2015141mcameo

    A cameo in Thor's vision at the Water of Sights, where he sees the Infinity Stones laid out and works out that someone has been steering events — the scene that made him leave for Asgard rather than help rebuild the Avengers.

  3. Avengers: Infinity War

    Film · 2018149m

    Thanos has it before the first frame. Xandar was destroyed and the vault emptied off-screen, and Thor confirms it in one line of dialogue — the Power Stone is what lets Thanos overpower the Hulk in the opening scene.

  4. Avengers: Endgame

    Film · 2019181m

    Rhodey and Nebula travel to Morag in 2014 and simply take the Orb out of the temple before Quill arrives to steal it, which is why they can watch him dancing outside. This is also where 2014 Nebula gets captured and swapped, and the whole third act follows from it.

  5. What If... Ultron Won?

    What If...? · S1 E8 · 202130m

    Alternate timeline. Ultron holds the Power Stone as part of his full set, and the episode is the clearest look in the MCU at the stone being used casually rather than as a doomsday device.
