Okay, so I’ve been digging into this whole “Marvel villain who wears the Infinity Gauntlet” crossword clue thing lately. It’s been popping up everywhere – USA Today, you name it. So I decided to roll up my sleeves and see what I could figure out.
First thing I did was hit up Google. You know, the usual, just typing in the clue and seeing what comes up. Tons of stuff, obviously. It’s a popular clue. I saw that the Crossword Solver site has like 30 answers for it. 30! That’s a lot. But it makes sense, ’cause it’s not just Thanos who’s worn the gauntlet, apparently.
I started reading through some articles and stuff, trying to get a handle on who else has used this thing. Turns out, there’s a whole list! Even Santa Claus wore it once, can you believe it? I guess in some of these stories, it’s like an alternate universe or something, so it’s not part of the main story.
Getting Down to Business
- Phase 1: The Obvious Answer
Of course, the first name that pops into your head is Thanos. He’s the big bad, the one everyone knows. I checked out his first appearance – Invincible Iron Man #55, back in February 1973. Dude’s been around for a while.
- Phase 2: Digging Deeper
But like I said, it’s not just Thanos. So I started looking at other characters. Some of them are heroes, some are villains. It got a bit messy, to be honest, jumping between different stories and universes.
- Phase 3: The Gauntlet Itself
Then I got sidetracked a bit, reading about the Infinity Gauntlet itself. It’s made from this Uru metal, on a place called Nidavellir. This guy Eitri made it, but Thanos forced him to. I guess the gauntlet lets you use the power of the Infinity Stones.
Putting It All Together
So, back to the crossword clue. Most of the time, the answer they’re looking for is probably Thanos. I saw one clue that said the answer was 6 letters long, and another said it’s 42. I don’t know about the 42, but Thanos fits the 6-letter one.
But honestly, depending on the specific crossword, it could be someone else. It’s a bit of a tricky one, ’cause they don’t always specify which version of the story they’re talking about.
Anyway, that’s my deep dive into this crossword clue. It was a fun little project, and I learned a lot about the Infinity Gauntlet and the Marvel universe. I guess the main takeaway is, if you see this clue, your best bet is probably Thanos. But keep an open mind, ’cause you never know, it might be Santa Claus!
