It looks like the Marvel Cinematic Universe has found a replacement for the Infinity Stones. At least, it is suspected that a new embodiment of universal forces has been found in the form of certain people: Nexus Beings.
In this article, we explain exactly what they see and why they have a possible role. Note: This article contains SPOILERS for the WandaVision series .
What are Nexus Beings?
We all know the Infinity Stones by now. Each of these represents an important aspect of the universe. The same goes for the Nexus Beings, but in areas such as sorcery, necromancy and geomancy.
The entities are self-aware beings that are often very powerful. They can use their powers to protect the multiverse, but also to damage it. All of them are linked to the Nexus of All Realities, a point where all realities converge.
The place where the Nexus opens is of course very important in the MCU. In the series WandaVision it could just be that the town of Westview will form the center of this. Her trauma caused the magic within Wanda to burst at the seams, as it were, possibly blurring the boundaries of the multiverse.
Who are they?
In the comics, Nexus Beings include Kang the Conquerer and Franklin Richards, as well as Jean Gray, Merlin and Wanda Maximoff and Vision. Wanda could just be our first Nexus Being in the MCU.
That’s not surprising, because she is attached to the Mind Stone (even destroyed it once) and has proven to be extremely powerful. Perhaps she could be the Nexus Being of necromancy, as she brought Vision back into the series.
The fact that the MCU will also be introducing other characters in the coming period who have already been referred to in the comics as Nexus Being, indicates that something may indeed happen.
