How Did Iron Man Pull Off The Glove

Warning: major spoilers follow for Avengers: Endgame.

We’ve waited almost a year to the day for Avengers: Endgame, the conclusion to the harrowing events of Infinity War where Thanos wipes out half the universe using the Infinity Stones. In the opener of Endgame, we learn that although Thanos continues to wear the glove that carries the stones, he destroys the gems so they can’t be used by anyone else . . . like the Avengers, who are desperate to bring back the loved ones they lost.

Thanos is quickly executed for this duplicitous crime, but it takes our heroes five years to come up with an elaborate time-bending plan to retrieve the gems from the past so they can reinvent the present. Iron Man leads the charge using Stark Industries’ technology to craft his own version of the Infinity Gauntlet in which to place a new set of gems and undo that deadly snap. The fact that the Infinity Stones work without the original glove and remain stable using Iron Man’s Mark 42 armor is a revelation for how the stones work and what they can do. So, let’s review what we already know about the Marvel Cinematic Universe version of the Infinity Gauntlet and theorize how the device works.

The gauntlet itself is simply a glove or similar tool designed to harness the power of the Infinity Stones. With all six gems in place, the wearer of the gauntlet has the power to do whatever they want — read minds, steal souls, bend time, alter reality, manipulate energy, or travel through space (teleportation). When assembled properly, this device has the power to alter existence in any way the wearer sees fit. All the user has to do is focus on the goal they want to accomplish.

Thanos has his gauntlet built on Nidavellir by demanding the Dwarves forge him a glove capable of harnessing the power of the Infinity Stones. So, King Eitri — remember that character played by Peter Dinklage in Infinity War — complies with the demand, hoping to spare his people from Thanos’s wrath. However, his efforts are in vain. For as we see when Thor arrives on Nidavellir to have a new weapon forged (Stormbreaker), the brave dwarf is his race’s sole survivor.
