There Was Always Meant to Be a Binding Intelligence
While the Infinity Stones have always been powerful , it ’s never been apparent that one was wildly more powerful than the relaxation - indeed , they actually produce a circle where each draws its might from the next . However , Thanos downing the Reality Stone carrier with a individual shot of living death - then take out three bearers working together - suggests the Death Stone keep primacy over the other six . This is interesting in relation to Infinity Stone lore , as previous tarradiddle establish that theStones were controlled by the Ego Stone . The Ego Stone contained the trap consciousness of the godlike Nemesis - the primordial Supreme Being from which the original Stones were mold .
Marvel has n’t really acknowledged the Ego Stone since its 1995 crossover with the ' Ultraverse ' publishing railway line , fundamentally ignoring its place in the Stones ' traditional knowledge . However , the fib does survive , and it would suggest thatthe Stoneswerealways meant to be controlled by a fundamental Stone with its own awareness .
