Infinity Stones (Earth-6792)

"Before creation itself, there were six singularities. Then the universe exploded into existence, and the remnants of these systems were forged into concentrated ingots... Infinity Stones."

- - Guardians of the Universe

The Infinity Stones are six items that are tied to the multiple universal aspects: Space, Mind, Reality, Power, Time, and Soul. They were created through unknown means and with unknown purposes, and each of them features unique capabilities that were attempted to be manipulated by multiple individuals and alien races through the ages, but all failed duo to the Stones' sheer power.

History
Before the creation of the universe itself, six singularities existed, which morphed into the six manifestations of all existing: Space, Mind, Reality, Power, Time, and Soul, forged by the Cosmic Entities.

Millions of years in the past, the Power Stone was used by the Celestials to subjulgate other races and their worlds, destroying entire races through the universe. One of these destroyed civilizations were the Maltusians of Maltus, who fled to Oa and eventually became an entirely different race, the Oans. However, the power of the Stones were too powerful even for its manipulators, and so they were utterly destroyed by cosmic powers.
