With Avengers: Endgame just about here, many fans are speculating that Thanos’ Infinity Gauntlet might not be as down for the count as the end of Infinity War implied. Another popular theory for the big finale is that Tony Stark creates his own version of the Gauntlet (the Iron Gauntlet?). But we think we just discovered the coolest new version of the Gauntlet yet… and it’s made entirely from balloons.
Thanks to Geeks Are Sexy, we’ve learned about a balloon artist named Jackie Ochitwa, who has an Instagram account for her What a Twist balloon designs. As a tribute to the MCU, she’s now created her own balloon version of Thanos’ ultimate weapon. The balloon version of the Infinity Gauntlet even comes complete with a series of blinking lights, to make each of the Infinity Stones really pop. Well, hopefully not literally pop, seeing how this is still a balloon we’re talking about here. That wouldn’t be good for anyone.
Imagine for a moment that this was the DC Universe and not the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and another non-Thanos character got to make their own version of the Infinity Gauntlet. If the Joker or Harley Quinn got their shot at wearing that big yellow glove, then we might see one that looks a little something like this rather festive and fun version of the universe’s deadliest weapon.
Aside from the Gauntlet, Jackie has made similarly cool balloon art based on other Marvel characters like Spider-Man, Wolverine, and the Hulk. There’s even a Santa Claus version of Deadpool she made during the holiday season. DC characters get some love too, with both Supergirl and Wonder Woman. And yes, Star Wars gets to represent as well. You can check out some more of Ochitwa’s other fabulous and geeky balloon creations down below.
