The named variants of a thing, and the runs of appearances that work the same way, explained one by one. The armours, the suits, the forms, the stones, the cameos. Things people go looking for after a film and rarely find explained in one place.

The Infinity Stones
Six objects older than the universe, each one controlling a single aspect of existence, scattered and hidden until somebody tried to collect them all.
Artifacts 6 entries
The Iron Man armours
Every suit Tony Stark builds is an answer to the last thing that nearly killed him, which is why there are so many of them.
Armours 14 entries
The forms Hulk takes
The same body, three different people inside it, arriving in the order that turns a curse into a person.
Forms 3 entries
Spider-Man's suits
Seven costumes over five films, and the question of who made each one is the whole arc of the character.

The relics

The shields
There is more than one, they are not the same object, and the difference is the whole argument of two of these stories.
Weapons 3 entries
The gauntlets
Three metal gloves, one of which the studio had to decide, years later, was a fake.
Artifacts 3 entries

The man who co-created most of these characters spent twenty-five years turning up inside the films made from them, in a crowd, behind a counter, or on a wall.
