The Soul Stone is one of the six powerful Infinity Stones in the Marvel Universe. It has the ability to manipulate the soul and essence of living beings, allowing its wielder to control life and death. This stone is often depicted as a vibrant orange gem and plays a crucial role in the storylines of various characters, especially in the Avengers films. In the Marvel Cinematic Universe, the Soul Stone is famously acquired by Thanos on the planet Vormir, where he must sacrifice someone he loves to obtain it. This emotional sacrifice highlights the stone's connection to the deeper aspects of existence, making it one of the most significant and complex stones in the Infinity Saga.
