We are talking , of course , about Thanos of Titan . He is one of Marvel Comics ’ most iconic villain and in the MCU will be played by one of Hollywood ’s greatest actors , Josh Brolin . While Thanos is famed for his tyranical demeanor , his Skrull - like mentum , and that shiny golden armor , there is something else that everyone have a go at it him for : his almighty Infinity Gauntlet .

Thanos and his mighty gauntlet always come together , so it is to be expected that when someone else has the gauntlet , Thanos will be right behind to reclaim it .
Here are15 Marvel Characters You Did n’t Know Wore The Infinity Gauntlet .
Hulk
The Ultimate universe is famous for a lot of things , among those being Miles Morales . For a fourth dimension there were two Spider - Men in the Ultimate universe , but did you also get laid that there are two Infinity Gauntlets as well ? alternatively of six Infinity Gems , the Ultimate universe has eight and inUltimate Comics : Ultimatesissue 25 ( 2011 ) , none other than the Incredible Hulk wore Thanos ’s favorite golden gloves .
When Kang the Conquerer lurk S.H.I.E.L.D. , who were in possession of the two gantlet , he released the Hulk who was hold prisoner . He was quickly able to apprehend the gauntlets and for a brief mo , the Ultimates ( that universe ’s Avengers ) thought it was all over . luckily for them , the gauntlet were n’t equip with all eight of the Infinity Gems and the Ultimates were able to find a way to defeat the Hulk .
There are eternal possibilities of what the Hulk would ’ve done if he had had the full powers of the Infinity Gauntlets . Even more , it would ’ve been an even scarier scenario if it was humanity - breaker Hulk who had wielded the gantlet .
Santa Claus
You read the headline right , we foretell . Santa Claus in Marvel Comics is as real as Thor the god of thunder and inMarvel Holiday Spectacular 2009 , Saint Nicholas himself manage the Infinity Gauntlet .
The story goes as follows : After theSecret Invasionevent , Santa Claus discovered that all of his caribou were Skrulls in camouflage . With none of his Christmas buddy around to help Santa deliver gifts to the world , he asked the Illuminati ( Iron Man , Black Panther , Black Bolt , Namor , Doctor Strange , Professor X , and Reed Richards ) if he could adopt the Infinity Gauntlet to carry out his annual missionary post .
Why would the Illuminati say no ? It ’s only Santa Claus who wants to wield the most knock-down arm in the universe . Nothing could go wrong , right ? With so much power in Santa ’s hand , the jolliest Christmas guy became as malign and taint as the spirit of Krampus .
If it was n’t for Namor throwing a snowball at Santa , every kid in the world would ’ve in all probability received ember under their Christmas tree diagram that Nox .
Nebula
While Thanos was in monomania of the gantlet in theInfinity Gauntletcomic run , he kept a half - all in , half - live Nebula by his side . When Adam Warlock and Earth ’s paladin unleashed their surprise attack on Thanos , the gantlet was steal off Thanos ’s hand by Nebula herself . With the powers of a god , Nebula replenished her gone - sounding body and resurrected many of the dead hero who ’d fallen to Thanos ’s wrath , by reversing time .
While she was able-bodied to wield the Infinity Gauntlet and hold ultimate power , her reversal of sentence inadvertently reverted her back to her dead - similar state , which allowed Thanos to wield the metal glove again .
With Nebula being an integral part of theInfinity Gauntletcomic , many buff have speculate that duringAvengers : Infinity War , Karen Gillan ’s Nebula will wear the gauntlet . Given that she will have a much deeper taradiddle in theAvengersfilm , it ’s quite potential that Nebula could be the one to actually maintain the gantlet and defeat Thanos herself .
Reed Richards
Reed Richards is well have sex as Mr. Fantastic and is perhaps the most intelligent individual in the Marvel Universe . So it ’s no surprisal that he ’s wield the Infinity Gauntlet . Even more , there ’s a whole multiversal Council of Reeds and each Reed has his own Infinity Gauntlet !
But our main Reed Richards from Earth-616 is not keen on having the gauntlet . InNew Avengers : Illuminatiissue 2 , Mr. Fantastic possessed the Infinity Gauntlet and seek to wish the Infinity Gems out of existence . He was stillborn and each member of the Illuminati finally pick up an Infinity Stone for safekeeping .
Much to Reed ’s surprisal during Jonathan Hickman’sFantastic Fourrun , he discovered the Council of Reeds and he was perhaps the only one without an Infinity Gauntlet . Though he did n’t have the gantlet at the clock time , he was still the Reedest Reed .
Spider-Man
Spider - Mandoesn’t like to get into bother , even though he always seems to be the one causing it . But whenever Spidey is not making a web of a mess , whether it be it relationships or superheroing , we can count on him saving the solar day . This is on the dot what happened when Thanos arrive along and vanished half the macrocosm in theAvengers and the Infinity Gauntletfour - exit serial .
When Thanos suddenly let the Infinity Gauntlet slide off his hand while fighting a Doom bot , Spider - Man took advantage of the situation and wore it himself . He then undo everything Thanos had done , finally saving the day . Unfortunately for Spidey , he was the only with memory of what had just transpirate .
Perhaps Spider - Man ’s fortune will be different whenAvengers : Infinity WarandAvengers 4comes around . If the sequel toSpider - Man : Homecomingis hypothesize to start Phase 4 of the MCU , then Spidey must be doing something big inAvengers quarto be give such a privilege .
Ultron
While Ultron has n’t hold out the Infinity Gauntlet in the comics , the tiptop AI outfox the Avengers and Thanos himself when he absorbed the powers of all the Infinity Gems in Disney XD’sAvengers Assemble . In the installment , Tony ’s contingence design in case they could n’t defeat Thanos was a automaton named Arsenal . But when Arsenal was in possession of the gauntlet with all six Infinity Gems , the robot reveal himself to be none other than Ultron in camouflage .
Ultron then immerse all six Infinity Gems and made his way into quad . Technically , Ultron never wore the gauntlet in the sequence , but he fundamentally became the gauntlet , in a way . He has worn the metal glove in another wall plug though : video recording games .
In the upcomingMarvel vs. Capcom : Infinite , Ultron merged himself with Sigma to become Ultron Sigma . As seen in the lagger and biz demo , Ultron Sigma is in possession of the Infinity Gauntlet , and using it with no aim of hold back .
Adam Warlock
The superhero ( or antihero , if you ’d prefer ) we know as Adam Warlock is as celebrated for manage the Infinity Gauntlet as Thanos himself . The two cosmic powerhouses are like two sides of the same coin . Their mythology and adventures are so interconnected that it ’s sincerely startling that Warlock wo n’t be come out inAvengers : Infinity War .
One of the first times Warlock came in contact with the Infinity Gauntlet was during theInfinity Gauntletcomic run . Thanos had already roll up all six Infinity Gems and willed half the creation out of being . Warlock gather the assistance of the Silver Surfer and Doctor Strange and later assembled many of Earth ’s bomber to fight Thanos .
While almost all the heroes break , Warlock was finally successful and steal the Infinity Gauntlet from Thanos . With the king of omnipotence Warlock decided to separate his malevolent and good sides from himself , create him a lonesome entity of pure system of logic . This was a misunderstanding , as his good side became sentient as The Goddess and his evil side as Magus .
Magus
The event ofInfinity Gauntletimmediately led to the consequence ofInfinity War . Here , Magus plan to manage the Infinity Gauntlet , but he had one job : the Infinity Gems were each kept by a phallus of the Infinity Watch . Even more , the Living Tribunal had taken off the combine mogul of the Infinity Gems , so the Infinity Gauntlet was essentially useless . Despite the subject at script , Magus had a grand design .
By paralyse Eternity , Magus was able to force Galactus and the Living Tribunal to revive the Infinity Gauntlet , a task the Tribunal delegated to Eternity initially . Once the Infinity Gauntlet reverted back to normal , Magus then follow to collect all of the Infinity Gems and take Adam Warlock prisoner .
With the Infinity Gauntlet now in his willpower , Magus became unstoppable . Despite his slap-up mogul , Magus was fooled . He was missing one Infinity Gem : the Reality Gem . The one he had obtained was a shammer . It was this simple misapprehension that ultimately redeem the universe from total annihilation .
Silver Surfer
Norrin Radd , aka the Silver Surfer , wore the mighty Infinity Gauntlet inWhat If Vol . 2issue 49 . Here , he turned the worldly concern into paradise and brought his heartfelt love Shalla Bal back from the dead . finally , Shalla Bal convinced Silver Surfer to give up his divine index before he became subvert by the gantlet .
The Surfer also wielded the Infinity Gauntlet in the animated cartoon TV showThe Superhero Squad . Here the Surfer is the herald of Galactus and is given the Infinity Sword by the Avengers and Iron Man . Later , when Thanos attacks , we discover that the Silver Surfer had become corrupted with office , so he steal the gauntlet from Thanos . With the Infinity Sword and the Infinity Gauntlet in his possession , he becomes so corrupted he calls himself the Dark Surfer .
While all of this is unbelievable to ever transpire on the Ag sieve , perhaps someday the Silver Surfer will at least be present in a good movie . Especially sinceStan Lee already has cameo ideas ready if such a thing ever comes to extend .
Iron Man
InAvengers number 12 ( 2011 ) , the villain known as The Hood come in possession of one of the Infinity Gems . Hungry for more exponent , he proceeded to collect the rest before being stopped by the Avengers and the Illuminati . During the fight , Iron Man was able-bodied to take the slip Infinity Gem back and in the moment wielded the Infinity Gauntlet with all its power . The Hood was easy defeated and everything then turned back to normal .
Seeing Iron Man exert the Infinity Gauntlet on the venire ofAvengers topic 12was in spades a spellbinding moment for fan . retaliator : Infinity Warcomes around in 2018 and experience that panel number to aliveness in the MCU is one of the top indirect request of some the MCU ’s most devoted fans .
SinceInfinity WarandAvengers 4might see the end of Robert Downey Jr. ’s runnel as the billionaire - playboy - hotshot - altruist , it ’s no inquiry give Iron Man wear the gauntlet would be the correct way of state goodbye to the character . He obviously was the one who pop out it all in 2008 and with the MCU seemingly coming to an oddment by 2019 , then Iron Man wielding the gantlet is a possibility .
