<p>This is no longer a discussion, the Aether is the Reality Stone. It has been confirmed in interviews as well as promotional posters for Infinity War. </p>

<p>In the one-shot Item 47 a couple were able to reactivate a Chitauri gun and used it to rob banks. I can believe Tinkerer is smart enough to do the same thing. Plus not all of the tech is Chitauri, it's mentioned that Dark Elf weapons and parts from Ultron drones were used. Of course, then there's Crossbones' gauntlet being used as the base of the Shocker glove. </p>

<p>If they did do a Thunderbolts TV series or movie they couldn't use 5/6's of the characters/cast you listed. Marvel has to pay Paramount (I think) to use Hulk characters, also I personally don't think Red Hulk should be introduced without him fighting the Hulk. Elektra and Punisher are part of the Netflix side of things and everything there seems to already be planned out so I doubt Marvel will have them crossing with other aspects of the MCU right now. Ghost Rider is a toss up cause right now it's implied he's fighting demons in another dimension. And Venom is completely off the table because Sony. Zemo could work as he helped start the team and using more of the original members of the Thunderbolts (Mach IV, Song Bird, Meteorite, and Techno) could work better. Rather than being all about a team of morally ambiguous anti-heroes, it would about a group of former criminals and super villains trying to be heroes and discovering they actually prefer it. Kinda like what Suicide Squad was supposed to be but completely failed at. </p>

<p>That is actually the heart shaped-herb that only the royal family is allowed to consume. It enhances a person's physical abilities to about Super Soldier levels and also increases their senses to about the level of actual panthers. The herb is extremely poisonous and it said that only those with noble hearts can survive eating it, in the comics T'Challa has let both Steve Rogers and Spider-Man eat an herb. </p>

<p>I'd think the writers would develop her powers over time. You can see it in the movies Wanda already appeared in: Winter Soldier she's seen testing her new powers, AoU she can use telekinesis and telepathy but she seems to only be able to affect either one target at a time or as widespread destruction (like when she felt her brother's death), and by Civil War she's lifting and moving multiple cars at the same time. In Infinity War I expect to see Strange take an interest in her abilities and even try to help Wanda learn to control them better. It's too early to say whether or not Wanda will ever learn actual magic but in the comics she's one of the most overpowered heroes, the Russo brothers likely know that and will start to incorporate some of it into the movies. </p>

<p>Where is it confirmed he would appear? I checked the link they have on the Infinity War page and all I get on the website is a message saying the page has been taken down. </p>

<p>Sorry to bring up this old discussion but I had a question that I didn't think required the creation of a new one. That being: should elemental, or at least aerokinesis, magic be added under Eldritch Magic's abilities? When the Ancient One is demonstrating and explaining what magic is to Strange, the magic circle she formed causes a strong wind to blow at him. The first image on that page is even from that scene. </p>

<div class="quote"><i> <p>AppleLord wrote: There's a difference between holding a 30 ton bridge, and taking a speeding car. I agree with the rest.  </p> </i></div>
<p>I'm just trying to say Spidey most likely isn't as strong as your calculations seem to make him out to be. He obviously isn't holding that boat together in the trailer, it's still falling apart and you can also see a few web-lines connecting between the two halves. My theory is he's just trying to keep it from completely sinking for as long as he can to let people escape onto another boat or something. </p>

<p>I have problems with believing this. Right now Peter does seem to be one of the strongest enhanced humans we've seen but he had trouble holding up that jet bridge after Cap knocked it down on him. According to this wiki it weighted around 30 tons and he likely wasn't supporting the whole thing because of how long it was and because it has a slope that was touching the ground. Let's be generous and say he was lifting half of the bridge, that's about 15 tons which relatively isn't too far away from the 10 tons he's normally depicted being able to lift. However, given the age of this Peter Parker it wouldn't surprise me that as we see him grow up he'll be able to handle more than that. </p>

<p>I have to agree with you SinSaber, I was hoping for more Inhuman villains. Potentially concluding in a three-way show down between SHIELD, the Watch Dogs, and a third Inhuman group. Disagree about Enhanced Watch Dogs though, I think they would be against that too, wouldn't surprise me if they did kill all Inhumans, hypothetically speaking, they started hunting down people like Steve Rogers, Luke Cage, and Spider-Man next. The Superior's philosophy is incredibly close-minded and kind of vain, I mean look at his name and he even calls himself a superior man at one point. Seems to me like he's more jealous he isn't Inhuman and turned those feelings into rage against them. </p><p>Anyway, I was looking forward to more Inhuman villains too. Not counting the ones from Afterlife we've had a total of 6: Hive, Giyera, Lucio, Hellfire, Androvich, and recently Shockley. You could count Lash but he ended up helping in the end so that's a bit unclear. Their approach to the new Inhumans is also naïve, yes there will be some that just want to live their life, there will be some that will want to use their powers for good, but there are would also be ones that would abuse the heck out of them too. Maybe there are and they just handle them off-screen, but in that case we should at least get a mention about them. Really the reason why they don't include more Inhumans is because it's a TV show and they don't have the budget to have a bunch of people throwing fireballs at each other every episode. I will say I think they're doing the best they can with what they've got and if the show isn't renewed maybe they can continue the series as a comic. </p>

<div class="quote"><i> <p>Aggression25 wrote: What are its properties? What does it do? </p> </i></div>
<p>According to the Marvel Wiki, Strange was able to use it to enhance a spell he used to hide himself, Eric Masterson, and the Silver Surfer from Mephisto while they were in his realm. Making the spell last longer than it would if Strange had cast it by himself and presumably also making the spell more powerful. I assume this because the Sorcerer Supreme, a being wielding the Power Cosmic, and someone on par with Thor in power would likely be extremely difficult to hide all at once no matter what spell was used. </p>

<p>That would probably be better as something like the One-Shots that were made during the earlier movies. </p>

<p>Can't Hank just make new ones? He still has the same head as his. </p> </div> <p>Odds are when Steve broke everyone out they took their gear back, but you're right that Pym could make/probably has others. I'm trying to say Pym would definitely be against the Accords, if he isn't already, if they managed to replicate his suit. </p>

<p>I'm pretty sure the reason SHIELD has been made public again, with Jeffrey Mace as Director, is because they are working with the UN. Especially when it comes to enforcing the Accords. </p>

<p>It's been confirmed she uses some form of magic, so it wouldn't surprise me if after Infinity War she goes to Strange to try and learn better control over her powers. </p>

<p>I can see Pym being angry about all of that, but I also think he'll agree with Scott's actions to an extent.

<p>I think it was stated that it was a mirror image of the Earth/physical world, however due to it's nature it is much easier manipulate the environment and laws of physics in the way we see them. Plus, because the Mirror Dimension exists outside the physical world and thus can't affect each other, the Masters will typically try and take any battles they might be in there to reduce causing any damage on Earth. This also makes it useful for training in magic or imprisoning malevolent beings. </p>

<p>That's why I was asking, but I still think magic was used to create the Casket. It would probably fall under some kind of Enchantment, like Odin putting the one for worthiness on Mjolnir only whoever enchanted the Casket made it so it could unleash freeze beams and storms that cover large areas in ice. Which brings up another point, Eldritch Magic should have Enchantment listed under it too because in the movie we saw many mystical objects and weapons created by previous human sorcerers. </p>

What abilities to be more specific? </div> <p>The ones that allow them to create ice for uses like weapons and armor. One was also able to give Volstagg pretty bad frost bite on his arm just by touching him. </p>
