[edit] Gem Quest?

Never heard of that storyline. Should it be removed from the article? Luis Dantas 02:00, 1 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Silver Surfer v.3 appearances

The Gems appeared in Silver Surfer #15-17 when the Surfer, Reed and Sue Richards went into a black hole to obtain the Gems in order to save the life of Galactus. Sadly I don't know where this storyline fits into the grand scheme of things, so I don't want to do a slipshod edit of the Gems' possessors. At the very least, though, Reed and Sue should be counted in the Soul Gem list. Korvac 16:52, 10 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Clean Up

Have added references, another picture, and tidied up the grammar and make it a little easier on the eyes.

Pulled Darkseid as he was never really in possession of the gems. He found the Gauntlet, was shown for all of two panels with it and that was it. As Darkseid never even got to use the gems and the story was a crossover, his claim is not as strong as the Marvel characters.

[edit] Time and Power colors

In the article, Time's color is written as (orange/red*), and Power's is written as (red/pink*). However, there is nothing connected to the asterisks to further explain.Ophois 22:25, 11 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] How are they worn?

How does someone use a single gem? Do they have to hold it in their hand? Does it attach to the owner somehow? 66.167.147.162 16:31, 22 June 2007 (UTC)

Typically the wielder wears it on their forehead. The gems can obviously adhere to a host. I'm thinking we also need sources for those claims about gem abilities.

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:StarlinGems2.jpg

Image:StarlinGems2.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
