History

The Power Gem

Overview

Following the destruction and rebirth of the Infinity Stones, the artifacts formed a feedback circuit. Because of this, how much of the Power Stone's potential somebody can tap depends on their mastery over mind, meaning that possession of the Mind Stone allows for a better use of the Power Stone. In turn, possession of the Power Stone allows for better control of the Space Stone. (Infinity Wars v1 #5)

Films

• In Guardians of the Galaxy, the Power Stone appeared in the setting of the live-action film set in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. One of the Infinity Stones, its power was so great that it could overwhelm ordinary beings who were destroyed by direct contact with it. At some point, it came to be contained within a spherical container and referred to as the Orb where it came to reside in a temple on the dead world of Morag. This was until it was found by the former Ravager Peter Quill, also known as "Star-Lord," who was unaware of its great power. Only moments after Quill found the Orb, the Kree warrior Korath tried to take it from him on behalf of his commander Ronan, who made a deal with Thanos to retrieve the Infinity Stone for him in exchange for the destruction of the planet Xandar. Star-Lord and the Orb escaped Korath and his Sakaaran soldiers, and made his way to Xandar to sell it to the Broker. However, the Broker backed down on their deal when he learned Ronan was also after the Orb. Quill was soon after attacked by Gamora, Thanos' adopted daughter who was hoping to sell the Orb to the Collector to prevent it from falling into her father's hands, but a distraction from the bounty hunters Rocket and Groot prevented her from taking it and the four of them were taken into the custody of the Nova Corps. They and the Orb were taken the space station/prison Kyln, where it stayed until they and fellow inmate Drax escaped on Quill's ship the Milano.
