2. The Infinity Gauntlet

Just about everyone knows about the Infinity Gauntlet these days thanks to Avengers: Infinity War, but the movie only explained the Gauntlet to a point.

When it is fully assembled, whoever wields the Infinity Gauntlet has the power to control all of time, space, reality, soul, mind, and power. What this essentially means is that the person who holds the Gauntlet is an immortal god capable of anything.

Thanos famously used it to kill half of all life in the universe, but it is capable of far more than that simple feat. It can be used to rewrite physics, create a new reality where clowns aren't scary, or even slow or speed up the passage of time.

Using the Gauntlet has no negative side effects. In the movie, it appeared to damage Thanos' left arm up to the shoulder, but in the comics, that's not the case. Use of the Infinity Gauntlet is limited only by the person's imagination and will to do whatever they desire.
