The Tesseract has been a mixed bag in MCU. From MU perspective, it is not strictly a space gem because it also generates "power" for the Red Skull and changes Hawkeye's "mind" via Loki's Sceptor.

It may due to lack of foresight from the MCU team. One way for them to reconcile this, is to tie the power of gamma with space-shifting. The Hulk may have been created when Banner used the Tesseract to as a substitute for Vita-Rays to activate the super-soldier serum. While "darkforce" was not mentioned in Thor 2, the term "dark force" was used in promotional materials.

Anyhow, it's just theory. We'll see how this goes. Its hard to tell that Tesseract is just Space, and that Red Skull converted its energy into "power weapons". The Tesseract holds a lot of power, which enables it to create space portals, tapping into the power of universe itself. Red Skull with Anim Zola were just able to extract this energy, and change it into a weapon. The Power Stone, whatever it is, if it is Aether or Orb, can also use unlimited power of universe for use as a weapon, but also to power machines and objects. There is endless number of possibilities. And I think Tesseract had nothing to do with Loki's brainwashing of SHIELD personnel, but the sceptre.

The Tesseract was confirmed as to e Space Stone, evident by its abiltiy to affect the space for teleportation and space travel (creating portal that suck Red Skull, teleporting Thor and loki from Earth to Asgard). The Aether... while it is mostly called as Power, I am not so sure of it. It was stated that Malekith wanted to bring darkness to the Nine Realms (and to the universe, which is kinda weird, as Yggrdasil is by me just a small rebout of solar systems that have close connection of "wormholes", that they are easier to dtravel between themselves), but the Power in it didnt fit that much for me. And that Orb can cause "massive damage on galactic scale" more hints on the Power for Orb, so Aether amy be Reality (as the reality/universe will be covered in darkness). Or these two can be interchanged.

And Loki¨s scepter (or Thanos' scepter?) may be another Stone, the Mind or Soul, but than why would no one tell about this? Thor may not know it, as he didnt knew about Aether either. Heimdall is all-seeing, but may not know about the Mind/Soul Stone either. Maybe not even Loki would know. And Thanos... would he really decide to use one Stone to acquire another? Now he pretty much lost both stones, Tesseract and Loki's scepter crystal.

Well, we will have to wait for the answeres to these things :)
