Gender: Male Location: somewhere within time & space
Reality vs Time has always been the most interesting of debates.
Basically a paradox is created, how can you influence the concept of Time, on someone who controls Reality around them? Time is an aspect of Reality as is Space and everything in between.
There's only one true solution for Time,
go back to the point before the one who wields the Reality Gem made their move,
otherwise a perpetual Time Loop is created, where the TG wielder continues to rewind time while the RG person continues to fix the the concept of Time within that Spacial Reality.
Exactly. I always felt that with the power gem backing up the reality gem in the Infinity Guantlet, it should've made the space and time gems redundant imo.

I understand, it's just that other than increasing the control over reality as we know it, they really don't do much when combined with the reality gem on the Infinity Guantlets.

Not really. The soul gem is still used to control the energies of the dead and the living, and the mind gem is used to read and influence everyone in the universe.

Well, when all the gems are combined together, they give the user complete control over "everything that is."
Billions of years ago, the gems were linked together as a being, so to speak, who was literally a part of everything. He was everything, and everything was him.
Master is correct, in that all of them put together simply give you control over... everything.
And when Thanos demonstrated what the reality gem was capable of to the Collector, he warped the time/space continuum, and it became all screwed up.

I see what you mean,
And I agree.
But I must add, the difference in scale is dramatic.
While the RG & PG can control a Galaxy or pocket Universe at best, the IG according to the LT in the Rune series can bring about the demise of atleast Two MultiverseS, one of them being the house of the 616 Universe.
However, when you think about it, if the power gem truly is "a limitless source of energy," then with it backing up the reality gem, it should produce the same results.

You CAN use the Reality Gem to it's fullest capabilities when it's backed by the power gem. The other gems aren't really necessary to access that level of power, they're necessary to CONTROL that level of power. This has actually been established twice on panel(once by Adam Warlock, and once by LT)... (please log in to view the image) (please log in to view the image)
The way I see it, the Power Gem allows the Reality Gem to work at peak capacity, and the other gems allow it to work at peak efficiency.

I don't think it's possible.
When Nemesis was formed, the Seven Gems combined, the Gems were struggling over control of the power they all made up, Nemesis was unable to fully realize her power, but her power was astonishing.
And now come to think of it, it was the Time Gem and Reality Gem together, that saved the day.
When Nemesis was split by the Ebony Blade, her power let out Creation Waves, that were producing one Reality after another, had it not been for the TG & RG, the Waves would have continued into Infinity and Eternity making Realities.

I have to disagree,
that's the issue I was talking about from Warlock Chronicles,
that's not the Reality Gem at it's full capacity, that's just a Rift in Time and Space that was gradually warping Reality into madness. At full capacity the Reality Gem would have warped the entire Universe in one instant, it would have created a rift that Warlock would have not survived, like he did this one when he dove in it.
If the same results were possible, the IG would be pointless.
I know THAT wasn't the Reality Gem at full capacity, because the Goddess didn't have the Power Gem to back the Reality Gem. I didn't mean that it's been established that the Reality Gem could be used at peak capacity with the Power Gem twice(rereading my post I can see how my statement could be taken that way), I meant the fact that the other gems were necessary to ensure control of the effects of the Reality Gem.
