Definitely. The Infinity Gauntlet comics came out earlier and laid the foundation for the concepts and characters seen in Infinity War. There are some differences, but the comics serve as a precursor.
Avengers Infinity War is largely based on the Infinity Gauntlet comic. Many key elements and plot points are drawn from it, but there are also some creative adaptations and additions to make it work for the cinematic universe.
In a Batman Infinity Gauntlet fanfiction, Batman would face a moral dilemma. The power of the gauntlet is immense and corrupting. He would have to struggle with whether to use it for what he believes is the greater good or to resist its allure completely. He could also encounter other powerful beings from the DC universe who either want to take the gauntlet from him or help him control its power.
The Infinity Gauntlet original story is quite epic. Thanos' quest for the Infinity Stones was no easy feat. Once he had all six on the gauntlet, it was a game - changer. He could manipulate time, space, reality, power, the mind, and the soul. His snap was a moment of great destruction. But the story also had elements of hope. The heroes, though initially defeated, started to regroup. They showed courage and determination in the face of such overwhelming power. And it all set the stage for future stories in the Marvel universe where the gauntlet and its power remained a crucial element.
The number of Infinity Gauntlet comics can vary. It depends on various factors like reprints, special editions, and crossovers. But as of now, there's no fixed and straightforward total.
The Infinity Gauntlet was created through a combination of cosmic forces and powerful magic in the comics. It was forged by a powerful entity with immense knowledge and abilities.
