The Chamber^[1] was the original containment unit for the Reality Stone, known as the Aether.

History[]

Containment Unit[]

Holding the Reality Stone[]

The Chamber was used by the Dark Elves to contain the ancient superweapon known as the Aether, an augmented Infinity Stone that their leader, Malekith intended to use to revert the universe to its state of primordial darkness. During the first Convergence, Malekith attempted to consume the Aether to enact his genocidal campaign, but was prevented by the Asgardian invasion of Svartalfheim. The Dark Elves were ultimately defeated, the Chamber (and the Aether within) taken by the Asgardian king Bor. Realizing the Aether was too powerful to destroy, Bor ordered it to be buried deeply in an unknown location where it would not be discovered.

Thousands of years later, however, the Convergence began once again, and Jane Foster, a scientist who along with Ian Boothby and Darcy Lewis, was investigating scientific anomalies at a warehouse in London, was swallowed into a portal, which sent her to another planet, from which the Chamber was hidden with the Aether inside. As Foster explored the cave, she discovered the Chamber containing the Aether. When she attempted to touch it, the force emerged and infested her body, and the Chamber closed.^[2]
