Infinity Gauntlet #[nn]

In "GOD," the Silver Surfer crashes into Dr. Strange’s sanctum, warning the Sorcerer Supreme that Thanos now wields the Infinity Gauntlet—empowered by Mephisto’s whispers. With Death still unmoved by his affection, Thanos unleashes his power, erasing half the universe’s life in a single, devastating act. As Earth’s heroes scramble to comprehend the scale of the catastrophe, the cosmos trembles under the weight of a new, godlike tyrant.

In "From Bad to Worse," the universe reels from Thanos’s devastating snap, wiping out half of all life. With the Kree and Skrull empires reigniting their war and Earth’s heroes scrambling to respond, Adam Warlock steps forward to lead humanity’s defense—only to find himself up against a Thanos who’s not done playing. As Odin convenes a council of gods and Dr. Doom seeks answers in Strange’s sanctum, the cosmic threat escalates when Thanos unleashes a shockwave that fractures Earth itself, pushing the balance of power into chaos.

In "Preparations for War," Fury learns Earth is hurtling toward destruction after a cosmic wave knocks it from its orbit. As chaos erupts across the planet, Adam Warlock rallies heroes and cosmic forces for a final stand against Thanos, even convincing Dr. Doom to join. With the universe's might gathered and Thanos forging a new companion in Terraxia, the heroes are sent across the cosmos to face the Mad Titan in a battle that will decide the fate of all existence.

In "Cosmic Battle on the Edge of the Universe!", as Earth's heroes rally against Thanos, a twist of fate redirects the tide when Mephisto whispers a challenge to his ego—Death favors courage over conquest. Thanos, intrigued, tempers his might and faces the heroes in a brutal, one-on-one clash, each defeat a step toward a greater design. From the void, Warlock watches, knowing the battle is a ruse, and sends the Silver Surfer on a desperate mission to seize the Gauntlet—only to fall short. With the stage set and the universe holding its breath, Thanos reclaims his full power, only to face the ultimate reckoning: the most powerful beings the cosmos has ever known.

In the wake of a collapsing universe, Thanos conquers the mightiest cosmic entities and even bests Eternity itself, transcending death to become eternal. With his body left lifeless, Nebula seizes the Infinity Gauntlet, claiming ultimate power as her revenge. Though cast adrift in space, Thanos is drawn to Earth by Dr. Strange, where Warlock calls on him to stand against Nebula’s rising threat.

In "The Final Confrontation," Nebula, wielding the Infinity Gauntlet, stands at the center of a cosmic storm as Thanos and Earth's heroes close in. With a desperate act, she rewinds time by 24 hours, only to face the full might of the cosmic pantheon and emerge victorious. As chaos unfolds, Adam Warlock makes a secret move—slipping into the Soul Gem to wrest the Gauntlet from her grip. In the aftermath, Warlock claims the power for himself, sending most of the heroes home while he and his allies, Gamora and Pip, pursue a quiet, unsuspecting Thanos—now living a simple life as a farmer, far from the stars.
