The Mind Stone is one of the six Infinity Stones.

History

The Avengers

The Mind Stone was originally housed in Chitauri Scepter given to Loki to aid in his invasion of Earth. Placed within the sceptre, the stone granted its wielder the power to enslave others' minds. When Loki was defeated by the Avenger, the sceptre was taken into the custody of S.H.I.E.L.D..

Sleeper HYDRA agents smuggled the sceptre into Sokovia, where Wolfgang von Strucker began using it to experiment with human enhancement. However, only two subjects survived the process, Pietro and Wanda Maximoff.

Guardians of the Galaxy

Mind Stone is seen with the others Infinity Stones, when Taneleer Tivan revealed the history of the Infinity Stones to the Guardians of the Galaxy.

Avengers: Age of Ultron

After capturing the sceptre from Strucker in a raid with his fellow Avengers, Tony Stark analyzed it and determined that it contained an advanced AI, which could be used to bring about his vision of a global peacekeeping program called Ultron. However, Ultron was an immediate failure, and the AI stole the sceptre away again. Thor subjected himself to a vision which clarified that the sceptre contained the Mind Stone, one of six Infinity Stones. Ultron used the Mind Stone to empower a perfect organic metal body for himself. In capturing the android body, the Avengers reacquired the Mind Stone, and after it came to life with benevolent programming it proved to them that it was an ally rather than a threat. The android, then calling himself the Vision, aided the Avengers in defeating Ultron. Thor subsequently opted to leave the Mind Stone in the Vision's care, both because the Vision had demonstrated his good character by lifting Mjölnir, and also because the stone seemed safe in the Vision's care.
