User blog:Hugues de Payens/Infinity Gauntlet Theory

So, I was looking at the Infinity Gauntlets and I was trying to figure out if there was any significance the Gauntlets could have in Norse mythology or if it might just be a reference to one of the comic universes where there were 2 Gauntlets.

I found something very interesting. In both Norse mythology and the comics, Thor possessed járngreipr. Járngreipr are 2 metal gloves that Thor wore. In Norse mythology Thor used them to weild Mjolnir and were considered one of Thor's 3 crucial possessions (járngreipr, Mjolnir, and megingjord). I wasn't able to find much about the gloves from the comics however.

So, due to one of the Gauntlets being on Asgard and both having Norse designs on them, I think the MCU Infinity Gauntlets are a combination of the Infinity Gauntlet and the járngreipr.
