Each Stone is named after, and represents, a different characteristic of existence. Possessing any single Stone grants the user the ability to exert great control over the aspect of existence the Stone represents. If a user is able to tap into the full potential of a Stone, the user gains complete control over a Stone's aspect of existence. As part of the Marvel Legacy initiative, the Infinity Stones had their colors altered to match the colors of the Infinity Stones from the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The six Infinity Stones include:
