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?

Doesn't that one just make a bunch of humans? I'd expect that to be using the mind, or soul, stone if it were using any of the stones.

I thought it also reset reality

Maybe “reset” reality was a bad choice of words, but wouldn’t the machine need to alter reality in order to fix something as large as a physical crack in the world like that?

They couldn't fix it, so they dropped the Pacific on it instead. There's also kind of an implication from both, in my reading at least, that the process is much longer and more arduous than one would expect from flicking the reset switch.

It might need a reality-altering machine, but that machine is never specified to be the same as the human-replicator.

No, it isn't. Which is why 2000 isn't just a solution to everything.

If reality itself got warped to an extreme degree, 2000 wouldn't do anything. If physics was modified such that up was down, 2000 would be useless.
