Of course, that's the one I'm missing...

[Firespitter]

I thought collecting key first appearances of villains was a bit of a reach in blowing speculator bubbles, but now you're on to first appearances of inanimate objects?

[Real Elijah Snow]

Does he not have the infinity gauntlet in Thanos Quest? That came out before that SS..

[Real Elijah Snow]

Also, people have cared about this sort of thing for a lot of years. First Cosmic Cube, First so and so's new costume,1st spider-buggy, 1st Batmobile etc....Caring about objects is far from new.

If only there was an Infinity Gauntlet Thread where people could discuss things like this already.

 

I guess starting a new Comics General thread is easier.

Per Wikipedia, Thanos Quest 2 is the first appearance of the Infinity Gauntlet.

Touche'. I admit that was flippant of me. Sometimes inanimate objects are particularly relevant, and like-wise with some villains. I just had imaginings of people collecting first appearances of Mandrill, or the first time the Hulk doesn't wear purple pants.

[Real Elijah Snow]

Oh, I definitely feel like it's headed that way. Now you have me curious about that purple pants situation.

[Hado]

The Hulk's pants were blue in his first appearance

Gotta get one. First blue pants. That comic is going to be worth something some day.

Nope, it's not. They're not in the gauntlet, nor is it mentioned in Thanos Quest, only the six gems as collected by Thanos and a description of what they are (and they are still called 'Soul Gems' in TQ).

[HarveySwick]

Silver Surfer #44, I believe.

 

It's in the Infinity Gauntlet thread. There are images there.

Thanos got all the gems in TQ #2 (after beating all the elders). SS #34 shows all the gems functioning as the infinity gauntlet we know today.

#34 is the resurrection of Thanos. #44 is the first Infinity Gauntlet. Maybe we need to get some scans up in here, too. I'll try to check tonight. I can't find that SS #44 reference in the other thread.

 

FYI - here's the last 4 pages of Thanos Quest #2, which show Thanos' gloves, but no gems in them:

 

 

 

 

 

 

[Firespitter]

Thanos; The Ultimate Completist.

 

I always wondered how they stopped him after obtaining all 5 gems. I mean, with it he had complete control of reality, time, space, minds, and energy.

 

How did they do it? Get him for trademark infringment?

 

Enquiring minds want to know!
