But the Gauntlet is no monkey-paw--the ill that comes of choices can also be wished away---although I guess that could turn into a whack-a-mole deal...and you'd be Annorax.
Fission reactors on the Moon to beam power to Earth just in case.
Infinity Gauntlet: What Would You Do With It?
- Thread starter Captrek
- Start date
If God does it, how can it be wrong?
Which God are we talking about here?
What does God need with a gauntlet?
Ditto
Fairy tales...
And still, I ask, what does God need with a gauntlet?

Nothing...if he's already God.
If however, you're some poor mortal schlub, you'd need the gauntlet to become God, which is basically what Captrek is proposing.
Exactly. This is Gary Mitchell territory. If I believed in such things, I might even call it blasphemous.
Snap all those unmade Star Trek movies and TV shows into existence.
And...uh, help people or sumin. And not get destroyed by doing the snap.
If you don't believe in such things, why do you care who blasphemes and how?
This entire thread is an exercise in wishful thinking. Why don't we treat it as such and let people have their fun, eh?
No one said we were constrained to the MCU gauntlet, so I'll go with the comics version that doesn't do a bunch of damage to you when using it.
First of all I'd get rid of cancer. Second, I would give myself the ability to time travel into the past and back to my point of origin while not being able to interact with the past, or be perceived by its inhabitants. Then I'd look at interesting history stuff all day.
After that, I'd only use the gauntlet for extremely trivial things. I forgot to buy groceries and tomorrow is a Sunday? Snap! Here's some rice.
Printing error in my reprint of Silver Surfer by Lee and Buscema? Snap! Fixed!
Phone battery low? Snap! You get the picture.

Truth be told, I don’t either. Just trying to have some fun. Would be more fun if an actual believer were participating in the thread.
No, if I possessed omnipotence, I wouldn’t use it to torture nonbelievers for eternity, because I don’t revel in cruelty.
I wonder if it’s true that, as Decker said, “We all create God in our own image.” Are people who believe in such a God people who, if they had the power, would use it the same way?
One for humanity: I'd amend the US Constitution to give weighted votes proportional to their state populations. And one for me: I'd redistribute a billion dollars each from the bank accounts of Musk, Rupert Murdoch, and that one living Koch brother into my own account. From there, I'd make movies. 
You have the Infinity Gauntlet. You are omnipotent. You can do absolutely anything. And you use this ultimate power to… watch your parents have sex?
It's not nice to kink shame.
Dude, no, I mean I can travel back to any point in the past but I can only return to the point in time from which I started.
If I time travelled back to January 8, 1648 from December 8, 2022 I could only return to December 8, 2022. Basically just a „can‘t travel into the future“ rule.
Right here, baby!
And my response to this
is:
Then He wouldn't be the one and only God. What then?
Jehovah said:
No, really, I'd like to think I'd just destroy it.
Hey that's my idea too but I'd go for an Intrepid class ship so we can land on planets and have adventures
