Space Stone

Cinematic, Comics

One of the six Infinity Stones, the one governing space and teleportation, housed in the Tesseract for most of recorded history. It passed from Asgard to Earth, to Hydra, to S.H.I.E.L.D., back to Asgard, and to Thanos, who destroyed it after the Snap. In 2023 a copy from an alternate 1970 was brought to the main timeline for the Time Heist and then returned.
