Suggested by willheart

After many extraordinary and absolutely unusual things have been taking place the last couple of years, on a far grander scale than before, the Nova Corps has been operating a team to locate and keep safe the Infinity Gems, immensely powerful objects with the ability to bend the rules of the universe. All of their searching comes to fruition when they find a man calling himself Adam Warlock, who is the keeper of the Soul Gem. With his help, they do their best to locate the others, before it's too late. In their quest to find them, they come across many obstacles all over the universe. The Power Gem resides with Ronan the Accuser, who has used it to overthrow the Supreme Intelligence and now rules the Kree people. The Time Gem is in the hands of Loki, who has used it to bring back his lost brother Thor, who died during the Doom War. The Space Gem is protected by Ikaris of the Eternals, who was handed this responsibility by Arishem the Judge. Although not without hardship, Richard, Sam and Adam Warlock manage to gather the gems, but before finding them all, they are interrupted by the Black Order, who was sent to collect them by Thanos.
