    Object » Infinity Gems appears in 233 issues.

    The Infinity Gems are six precious stones of cosmic origin that give the possessor mastery over a certain power. Collecting and using all six gems will give the wielder complete control over the universe.

    Why haven't the Illuminate used them?

    The Earth was under seige, a mad man is running the top law enforcement entity in the world. Why don't the members of the Illuminate use the Infinity Gems they have?

    I am guessing its because the writers forgot they have them.

    The gems don't need to be together to function though. They could be used seperately, especially something like the mind or reality gems would be a huge advantage.

    Because they agreed never to use them. I don't think Osborn being on top is enough for the Illuminati [which is scattered with Black Bolt now King of the Kree, Dr. Strange losing his powers, Iron Man on the run]. They will be used again, definitely. But their pact to never use them is much too strong to be broken by Osborn, IMO.

    classic spider-man logic, with great power comes great responsibility im guessing they're to smart to abuse the unlimited capabilities of the gems

    But that doesn't explain why the Skrull Black Bolt didn't use the gem to help the Skrullls take over earth. "
    Was it ever established that Skrull Black Bolt had the gem in the first place? It was the actual Black Bolt that took place in gathering them, because I'm rather sure that Skrull Black Bolt doesn't have the extent of Black Bolt's power [as seen in WWH]. Black Bolt's abilities was vital in gathering the gem, it was pretty plain to see from Reed and Iron Man's amazement when Black Bolt tore a hole in reality with his voice that it was the real Black Bolt, IMO.
