The Tesseract is an alien artifact in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. In appearance, it is a glowing translucent cube. It is one of six "Infinity Stones"; ancient objects of super-advanced alien technology.
Properties
- With the right technology, power can be drawn from the cube in vast amounts. Swiss inventor Arnim Zola was able to use its energy to power everything from directed-energy handguns to strategic bombers and WMDs.
- With the right technology, the cube can be used to open wormholes to distant locations, such as a rift between Earth and Chitauri space. By unspecified means, it is also possible to force the Tesseract to open a wormhole remotely, but the resulting wormhole is unstable, and transit through such an unstable wormhole is stressful.
- The cube can also broadcast power to some devices, such as the staff/sceptre that Loki wielded during his attempt to rule the Earth.
- Directly handling the Tesseract is unsafe, although it can be done briefly without serious consequences. Johann Schmidt was apparently disintegrated when he held onto the cube for too long.
