Warlock wins, of course. In Thanos' Quest when Thanos had 5 of the gems and he was going after Grandmaster's Mind gem, he says with the 5 there were thousands of ways he could have taken the mind gem but outsmarting Grandmaster was the most satisfying. When Magnus had an IG with 5 gems and Thanos had the Reality gem, Thanos didn't try and put his 1 against the 5, he outsmarted Magnus instead.
The Rune thing with the time gem was a load of crap.
Gender: Male Location: Planning to take over the WORLD!
apparently, according to thanos, the power gem is the sort of backbone of the others. when they are collected the power gem appears to be the battery that the others draw from.
individually they operate differently though. the power gem couldn't counter all the things the other gems could do, i don't think. and anyway, all adam needs is one gem -- the soul gem. no answer for that from the power gem.
Well Warlock was the only one to put up any fight so it might just be the soul gem.
(The way Rune stole those other 4 gems was awful by the way, it made it look like stealing the gems from the Watch is like taking candy from a baby. And since when does Thanos walk around with the gem on his forehead? He keeps it in his safe!)
Probably just a rumor, but I don't know for sure. They did it to death with Infinity Gauntlet, Infinity War, and all the Infinity Watch villians that tried to steal the gems. So as much as I liked them, Marvel really needs to go in a new cosmic direction for a while (Annihilation is a good start).
Meh, but the number of times of Adam resisting the gem's influence, willing it to himself from other places, etc. greatly outnumbers the "betrayal", which means that it'll likely be his greatest asset, not his achilles heel in this fight.
NEW AVENGERS: ILLUMINATI #2 (of 5)
Written by BRIAN MICHAEL BENDIS & BRIAN REED
Pencils & Cover by JIM CHEUNG
The Infinity Gems offer their users complete mastery of the universe -- if any one of the Gems fell into the wrong hands, it would be catastrophic. So, when the Illuminati discover the Infinity Gems are scattered across the cosmos, completely unguarded, the race is on to collect them before anyone else learns the truth. The fate of the Marvel Universe hangs in the balance as Brian Michael Bendis (New Avengers) and Brian Reed (Ms. Marvel) team up with Jim Cheung (Young Avengers) to tell another chapter in the tale of the Illuminati!
32 PGS./Rated T+ …$2.99
Not sure when its gong to be set. Maybe each Illuminati member will get a gem?
Ok, I see where your coming from. But at the same time, we can't exactly rule out the fact that the SoulWorld might infact Betray Warlock again. It seems like Marvels' digging pretty deep with that one.
