8. The Infinity Gauntlet (with all stones)
Who wielded the Infinity Gauntlet? Thanos, Nano variant: Hulk and Iron Man
What kind of object is it? The Infinity Gauntlet (and the nanoversion by Tony Stark) is undoubtedly the most powerful weapon seen in the MCU so far. The original was crafted by Eitri, while Tony Stark developed his own version of it. Equipped with the 6 Infinity Stones, Thanos was able to erase half the universe.
Even with just 1 or 2 stones, the Gauntlet makes the wearer one of the most powerful warriors in the universe. The ability to use multiple stones at once amplifies the possibilities of the Gauntlet.
With the Gauntlet, one is virtually omnipotent and can manipulate reality, time, as well as the minds of others (Source: Marvel Cinematic Universe Wiki).

- Through the Gauntlet, one can use multiple Infinity Stones at the same time

In the Marvel Cinematic Universe, many abilities are not innate but come from technology, magic, or powerful objects. In the upcoming Avengers film, the heroes will need a lot of support to defeat the villain: 5 reasons why Dr. Doom is scarier than Thanos in Marvel
