Infinity is an abstract entity which embodies the Marvel Universe itself along with her "brother" counterpart, Eternity, with whom Infinity is one.[1] Their authority on Earth-616 is only surpassed by the Living Tribunal.[2] Infinity is also the personification of space.[3][4]
History
Infinity is the sister of Eternity. She appeared to Quasar when he entered his Quantum Bands into the Quantum Zone. It was revealed that Infinity is the source of Quasar's Quantum Bands. When Maelstrom as the avatar of Oblivion attempted to destroy the universe, Quasar stopped him by becoming the avatar of Infinity. After Maelstrom was defeated, Infinity had Oblivion agree to new terms alongside Eternity and Death.[5]
Attributes
Powers
Unlimited ability to manipulate time, space, matter, energy, reality, or magic for any purpose. Omnipresent throughout Earth-616. Nigh-omniscient. Thanos with the Infinity Gauntlet, ranked Infinity as standing above all abstract entities, such as Mistress Love, Master Order, Lord Chaos, Sire Hate, Galactus, the Celestials, Kronos, Odin, Zeus, and Stranger, as well as being equal to Eternity, but below Living Tribunal.[6]
Notes
- For G.O.D.S., Infinity received a redesign and a human form.

- Infinity is sometimes confused for the personification of time.[7][8] This is not correct because, despite his starry body, Eternity is the temporal aspect.[9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16] Also, Infinity is identified as the spatial aspect in her very first appearance.[3]
- The word "Eternity" means endless time, while "Infinity" has a more spatial connotation.
- In the Seventh Cosmos, Infinity was treated as the counterpart for Oblivion.[17][18] With the cosmic resturcturing of the Eighth Cosmos, Oblivion's counterpart is the Living Tribunal and Infinity's counterpart is just her brother Eternity.[19]
Trivia
- Quasar's Quantum Bands directly taps into the energy that is part of Infinity.[17]
