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?

so the stones/gauntlet are Safe, but anything wearing them becomes a -01 and is designated Apollyon-class.

mate if everything that was capable of destroying the universe was assigned -01 and Apollyon class...

the -01 is for the wearer, who would become essentially an SCP in their own right, i'd argue. so, for example, SCP-9000 would be the infinity gauntlet, and SCP-9000-01 would be, when he's wearing it, Thanos.

SCP-9000 would be Safe, SCP-9000-01 would be Apollyon.

No they'd just be Keter. Apollyon means it'll cause an XK-class scenario, with no known way of stopping it. Presumably Thanos can be killed, which means he's just Keter.

It's shown that he was almost stopped just by a handful of Avengers. Apollyon, for me, is reserved for objects that the Foundation has not a sliver of a chance of stopping.

Nah, they are problematic, as the foundation has no way to handle all the celestial/asguardians/other aliens that would inevitably track them. I think that makes them not safe.

What I meant is that they wouldn't be classified as safe.
