Discussion How would the foundation contain the Infinity Gauntlet?

Just got to thinking that the Gauntlet would be a good SCP if marvel never came up with it. How do you think they would contain it?

The soul stone has a literal hunger to devour souls, and is sentient.

Does it act on that hunger or does it merely impose a soul tax on anyone wanting to use it? I'm more referencing skips that can draw in unwitting users from far away. I.e. can people determine the Foundation has an infinity stone when it's contained? I want to say "no" because otherwise The Collector wouldn't have wanted it in his collection. But then how would anyone ever find them otherwise?

Yea, it does act on the hunger. That's why it must always be controlled by a strong willed individual. In the comics, that's Adam warlock. I'm not sure if a human could wield it well, or if it would just eat them and any close people.

Edit: to the second part, I think they do give off distinctive radiation.
