"In order to take the stone, you must lose that which you love. A soul for a soul."
-Red Skull
The Soul Stone is arguably the best protected Infinity Stone in the MCU. It was set up so that, in order to obtain the Infinity Stone, you had to first sacrifice someone you love. The sacrifice couldn't be reversed, by any power. This indicates some sort of time magic, possibly tying it closer to the Time Stone than any of the other Infinity Stones, but there's no other link, so it's probably just me filling space on this blog with theories. Red Skull, after being banished by the Tesseract (using the Space Stone's powers), became the guardian of the Soul Stone, warning everyone of the price it would demand.
Though you never see its powers directly used (except for a 15 second scene in Infinity War), the Soul Stone was able to conjure a representation of someone who died. The Soul Stone was also capable of creating a pocket dimension of sorts.

When did he use it in Infinity War? I don't remember that.
ReplyDeleteIt took me way too long to figure out how Red Skull ended up guarding the soul stone. I had thought that he died at the end of Captain America First Avenger. Then it suddenly dawned on me the other day that he didn't die, the tessaract sent him through a portal :o
When he did the Snap, you saw him in the "pocket dimension", and he spoke to a version of Gamora (a young version), which was the "representation" of her (which is what I referenced in this post). Furthermore, he used the Soul Stone plus the Power Stone to shatter all of Doctor Strange's illusions
DeleteYeah :D I was so freaked out with excitement when I saw Red Skull, and I was thinking to myself, "I have no idea who this dude is, all I know is that he appeared in the first Captain America movie, but YEAH CROSSOVERS!" Lol
Oh, okay. I thought that was just his imagination or something. But that makes more sense :)
DeleteLol
Yep, he totally imagined Gamora's disappointment at his success lol (Actually, I'm figuring I'm probably imagining her disappointment. No one else seems to have ever noticed it, so it's probably not really there :/ )
DeleteOh! Wait, for the snap to happen, does it require all of the stones?
ReplyDeleteYeah, it needs all stones
DeleteSo technically, it was used more than once.
DeleteWell, yeah. There was Thanos shattering Dr. Strange's illusions (Soul Stone + Power Stone), First Snap, Pocket Dimension (Thanos), and then two different Endgame uses
DeleteSo when combined, stones can do certian stuff that they can't do on their own? Cool!
DeleteI guess? Blake might know more than I do, but the wiki only mentions that, all together, the Stones grant the user control over all life
DeleteHuh. Interesting.
