10 Characters (Besides Thanos) Who Wielded the Infinity Gauntlet

One of the most powerful items in the Marvel Universe is the Infinity Gauntlet, which bestows upon its users nearly infinite power that is only constrained by their creativity. It uses the energy of six Infinity Gems, which stand for Power, Space, Soul, Reality, Time and Mind, traditionally.

Although the Gauntlet is most famously linked to the supervillain Thanos, who aims to use it to wipe out half of existence, other characters have also used or come into contact with this powerful relic, adding to the narrative complexity of Marvel’s canon.

Beyond Thanos, several characters—heroes and villains alike—have been shown as donning or using the Infinity Gauntlet in various narratives, occasionally in parallel realities or unofficial accounts. In one very interesting example, Santa Claus is shown sporting the Gauntlet.

These events frequently take place in parallel universes or particular stories, providing fascinating new perspectives on well-known Marvel tales. Moreover, in stories where characters can change reality, they might even go back in time and prevent themselves from ever using the Gauntlet in the first place.
