Geocache Description:

Infinity Gauntlet
The cache is not located at the above coordinates.

The Mad Titan Thanos has once again placed the entire universe in jeopardy by trying to obtain The Infinity Gauntlet. The Infinity Gauntlet is compiled of the six Infinity Gems, each granting their owner absolute control over Time, Space, Power, Reality, The Mind, and The Soul. In the hands of one such as Thanos, the Universe will quickly be decimated by this Nihilistic Maniac. It is up to you and a select few of Earth's heroes to find the Infinity Gems first, and put an end to Thanos' murderous quest.

The Infinity Gems have been scattered far and wide across the universe, each hidden by a different superhero. To unlock the locations, you must identify each of the numbered historical references shown with each Gem. Each Gem, when found, will give an offset that must be applied to the given coordinates. When all six are applied, the location of the Infinity Gauntlet will be known.

Thanos MUST NOT succeed. The fate of the Universe rests in your hands. Good luck, and God Speed!
