Okay, last I read about the Infinity Gems, Reed Richards had brought them together in front of the Illuminati.
 He put on the Gauntlet and the Watcher showed up to snap him back in place.

Then what?

Were they dispersed to the Illuminati?

Did any Skrulls get one?

Thanks.

Skrulls haven't been seen with them... yet... but tis a good idea, i haven't thought about it until now

(realizes that either he or vance astro are the only ones who are gonna post)

The greatest Marvel villain acquires the ultimate Marvel weapon.

by Richard George

US, September 8, 2008 - At IGN Comics we're always on the prowl for the latest and greatest art, especially pieces that seem to indicate huge things for future comic book storylines. (Sometimes that isn't always the case, but hey, great art is great art.) This time we have one that seems to answer one of the bigger questions related to Marvel's Illuminati mini-series: What has become of the Infinity Gems?

The Marvel Universe is full of beings possessing overwhelming power, but none of their abilities can stand next to the Infinity Gems and the gauntlet that can unify them. Named Time, Space, Mind, Soul, Reality and Power for the aspects of the universe they can control, these gems have been the source of cosmic power struggles in the past... and now it appears Victor Von Doom might have discovered their hidden locations.

During the New Avengers: Illuminati limited series by Brian Bendis and Jimmy Cheung, the Illuminati gained possession of all six gems. Determined to prevent abuse of the artifacts, each of the members (Charles Xavier, Tony Stark, Reed Richards, Namor and Dr. Strange) was given one of the gems for safekeeping. It looks as though Doom might have found a way to locate the gems, and he now will have the power he has desired for so long.

Marvel sent us this cover, which is done by prolific cover artist Marko Djurdjevic. We don't know what series or storyline this is for, though the presence of the Eternals does lead us to believe this could belong to the current ongoing series. It could be for something much bigger. Time will tell. All we know is this art kicks ass - and we hope the storyline lives up to the cover.

MUST.........HAVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"MUST.........HAVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Was this art from one of Wizards old April fools gags that's still lingering on passed its expiration date?

Nutshell: While I can appreciate the artwork, I'll believe it when I see it [in print].

:)

i think it's just a what if....and didn't the gems get handed out between the illuminati so that means that the skrulls possibly have the one that blackbolt was given

If the Skrulls had the gem, you'd think they would be using it. I'm wondering why the other keepers aren't using theirs.

can you use the gems seperately without the gauntlet

Maybe they are and we just aren't yet privy to their deeds.

[Wishful thinking that the writers have some inkling as to what they're actually doing...]

Yes. See Adam Warlock and the Soul Gem for the best examples I can think of."

You can use a gem without the gauntlet but you can't use the gauntlet without the gems.

"You can use a gem without the gauntlet but you can't use the gauntlet without the gems."

You could use it as a regular glove. Or to slap people with when you challenge them to a duel!"

I would rock the Infinity Gauntlet Michael Jackson style. That would be pretty ballin'.

I wonder how Doom gets the Gems....

The text makes no mention of the gems...weird.
