As we see inThe Avengers, the cube’s primary function is to create portals and control space.

Thanos acquires the stone by force after destroying the Tesseract inInfinity War.

The gem is ultimately acquired by Thanos inInfinity Warby physically removing it from Vision’s forehead.

The Asgardians are able to share a sweet moment before Thor and Rocket head back to their present.

Thanos ultimately takes the stone from the intergalactic peacekeeping force Nova Corps.

The Sorcerer Supreme uses the Eye to trap the evil interdimensional being Dormammu in a time loop.

Strange eventually gives the stone to Thanos to save Tony Stark’s life.

It’s Natasha, though, who ultimately is the one to fall.
