The Infinity Gauntlet
The culmination of the Infinity Gems posts is finally here! Behold the ultimate power of the Infinity Gauntlet!
The Infinity Gauntlet, when used to its full potential, makes its wielder a nigh unstoppable reality shaping god. There are only two known beings with powers greater than the Infinity Gauntlet, the Living Tribunal and the One Above All… and yet, for better or worse, I present to you a power set for the Marvel Heroic Roleplaying Game that you could provide to a savvy player who’s collected and controlled the ultimate power of the Infinity Gems.
