It ’s clear from the preview that Thanos believes the Death Stone should be able-bodied to defeat its victim , and that seems almost ensure - however , there ’s no reason to think its top executive will stop there . Usually , each Infinity Stone can totally master the force for which it is distinguish - for example , the Power Stone can make the great unwashed warm or weaker depend on the wielder ’s will , while the Time Stone can pelt along up , dull , or even stop time . This would evoke that the Death Stone should be capable to prevent death as well as cause it .
It ’s also possible that the Death Stone can curb what path its victims take through the afterlife . Recently , Resurrection of Magneto(Al Ewing and Luciano Vecchio ) revealed crucial inside information about Marvel ’s hereafter , confirming that beings areoffered eight way of life after they decease , including total oblivion , reincarnation and sagaciousness . It would be a major anticlimax for a new Infinity Stone to only kill people , as there are thousands of Marvel artifacts that can do that , and none of them require the genuine embodiment of Death to power them . However , down a person such that they ’re completely obliteratedwouldbe a significant power , especially in a world where heroes and villains are all - but - assure to arise from the all in . twist the Death Stone into a weapon system of death from which resurrection is n’t possible could give it a major plaza in Marvel ’s future traditional knowledge .
The Death Stone ’s further powers will be unwrap over the path ofInfinity Watch , as Thanos attempts to gather the other Infinity Stones to give him great power over Death and the Infinity Stone that holds her . Hopefully , as Marvel has cod , Thanos will find his targets more capable than he imagines , and the Death Stone could even end up with a new pallbearer - someone who Death is actually set to bond with . The introduction of the Death Stone is a major milepost in Marvel continuity , and asThanosdedicates himself to unlocking its power , it ’s certain to occur with major consequences .
