Every Infinity Stone in the MCU, Ranked by How Much More Powerful They Made Thanos

Having the gems gave Thanos incredible power, and he was right to think he could achieve anything. However, the gems had a hidden drawback: Thanos only used them to carry out his plan to eliminate half of all life, and wasn’t interested in exploring the individual power each gem offered. Unlike Ultron, he didn’t revel in the increased abilities. This restraint might be why many consider Thanos a more nuanced and compelling villain than a standard power-hungry one.
