Warning: MAJOR spoilers ahead for Marvel’s Infinity Watch #1
Marvel has introduced a ground-breaking twist in its cosmic universe by declaring the Mind Stone as the most powerful of the Infinity Stones, contradicting the long-held belief by Thanos who regarded the Time Stone in this light. This revelation is made in the inaugural issue of the new Infinity Watch series, setting the stage for significant character developments and cosmic implications.
The character Zavala poses a dire threat, poised to reshape Marvel’s mainstream universe by imposing his own reality. Early previews for issue two hint that his strategy may include turning Phil Coulson—now an incarnation of Death—against his allies.
Marvel Declares the “Mind Stone”as the Strongest Infinity Stone – A Revelation Beyond Thanos’ Insight
The violent death of Colleen Wing serves as a pivotal moment in the narrative, escalating emotions among readers. Wing, having developed into a beloved character over the years, was expected to shine within the Infinity Watch storyline. However, due to the cosmic nature of this series, combined with the superheroic trope of evading death, it is plausible that she may return, potentially with a significantly enhanced role within the Marvel Universe.
This categorization of the Mind Stone as the superior Infinity Stone is not merely a peripheral detail, but central to the plot itself—indicating Marvel’s authoritative stance on the matter. The storyline positions the Mind Stone as the target of Zavala, who believes by possessing it, he can dominate the other stones and dictate their use.

Avery Zavala emerges as a novel and formidable character in the Marvel Universe, associating himself with the Infinity Watch while claiming to be a Stone-bearer from an alternate timeline. His backstory reveals that a malevolent force, Apeiron, ravaged his fellow Stone-Bearers. Zavala implores the Watch to assist in creating a new universe filled with the souls of his fallen allies.
However, when the Infinity Watch hesitates to comply, Zavala swiftly resorts to a backup plan: seizing the Infinity Stones from the Watch and utilizing them to erase the primary Marvel Universe, replacing it with his own. Previously having killed Colleen and already possessing the Mind Stone, his violent approach raises questions about his motives and true intentions regarding the power of the Mind Stone.
His desperate behavior casts doubt on the validity of his claim that the Mind Stone holds the utmost power. Just like the uncertainty surrounding Colleen Wing’s fate, readers must follow the Infinity Watch series to uncover the ultimate truth about Zavala’s assertion.
