The Infinity Gauntlet is central to the Thanos / Adam Warlock storylines. It's really at the core of Cosmic Marvel, or Marvel Comics IIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNNNN SSSSSSSSSSSSSPPPPPPPPPPPAAAAAAAAAAACCCCCCCCCCCCEEEEEEEEE.

There are 6 Infinity Gems that control different elements of space and time, and they are meant to be guarded/used by 6 separate individuals so that no one person has too much power. Thanos conquered each of the owners of the gems and assembled them all into a single glove- The Infinity Gauntlet. Then he started to wreak havoc on all of the Marvel Universe and everybody got together to shut him down.

The gauntlet itself is pretty cool, but the way they showed it at Comic Con seemed to indicate that it is a prop for one of the upcoming movies. If they go straight to the gauntlet in the first Avengers movie, I would be shocked and cautiously excited. It would probably fall flat on its face, but it would be something like a nerd dream come true.

Other than that, it might've shown up in the Silver Surfer movie that was going to be made after FF2, but I don't think that movie is still in production.

And before I hop down off of this soapbox, the Annihilation & Annihilation Conquest epics and the followon Guardians of the Galaxy & Nova series are really great Space Fantasy/Sci-Fi. I haven't read all of War of Kings, yet, but I've enjoyed what I've read so far.
