Captain America

A cosmic cube plays a major role in Captain America vol. 5 and should be mentioned in the article. I'll make the edit myself when I get my Captain America comics back from a friend, unless someone else wants to make the edit. 24.85.197.69 12:21, 27 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The Cosmic Cube is a Marvel thing, and the Green Lantern Corps is a DC thing. Unless this ability to charge the latter's ring with the former was mentioned in a crossover, it's probably bogus. Does anyone have a reference? --Kaz 18:10, 9 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

JLA/Avengers is indeed a crossover. Check the picture/link. -- nae'blis _(talk) 17:55, 1 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It's also a crossover that, unlike most others, has been referenced by latter comics in both companies. Dr Archeville 17:27, 5 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Marvel Team-Up

Spider-Man, the Thing, Scarlet Witch, and Dr. Strange use a cosmic cube to destroy Set, a ancient snake god

Patented

The CIPO has a patent for such a cosmic cube. Should this be added a reference?

Cosmic Cube Patent

I cannot seem to make sense of what it's supposed to do, is it related to the Marvel comics' idea? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 208.38.1.1 (talk) 21:39, 21 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Infobox image issues

TalesofSuspense-80.jpg, the current infobox image has one or more issues in regard to the non-free content criteria policy, non-free content criteria guidelines, and/or Comics Project infobox image guidelines. These issue(s) are:

One element among many - The current image depicts the subject of the article as one element among many, either with equal weight or in a minimal role. The image should focus on the subject, either as the sole element or cropped to force that appearance.

Actually more of a case of "almost no role". Any chance of getting an internal panel that actually shows the cube?

Please keep in mind that image taken from source like DC's Who's Who or Marvel's Official Handbook to the Marvel Universe cannot be used within the article.

The issue with regard to the infobox image has been addressed.- J Greb (talk) 02:37, 27 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

That will do for now - classic Silver Age with the cube being used and a banner. Far superior to nothing at all, eh? Asgardian (talk) 05:19, 27 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

True on the points of "better than nothing" and "it'll do for now".

Think of this as a standing "We need better" advisory since the Cube is an all but indistinct blur in the Skull's hand. There's no real deadline associated with this nor is it a call to go back to the place holder. - J Greb (talk) 10:53, 27 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

And since the image has been changed. - J Greb (talk) 22:07, 30 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

(In other media) Television

Avengers Earth's Mightiest Heroes in "Live Kree or Die" episode we heard about Cosmic Cube. Supreme Intelligence said "I was design for the purpose of creating a cosmic cube".

Ultimate Spider-Man in "Awesome" we can see Cosmic Cube in Helicarrier, when spider-man choosing somthing for project. That was "too bright" for spider-man. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.135.173.156 (talk) 20:17, 9 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

(In other media) Film

The latest MCU films have confirmed that the tesseract is in fact the space gem of the infinity gems, not the cosmic cube. I propose that this section be removed as a result. Acbsmith (talk) 15:00, 26 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I agree—it is cubed-shape, but it is never called the "Cosmic Cube" in the films, and it turned out that it isn't a cosmic cube, but rather, is one of the Infinity Gems. I'll remove this section, and put in a "see also" link for the films' Tesseract. — Narsil (talk) 20:49, 14 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

It is a cube, but not the Cosmic Cube. So, agreed on removing as WP:OR. 73.168.15.161 (talk) 02:05, 15 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The Tesseract is cosmic and its a cube... so I think it deserves a mentioning! Even if its one of the Infinity Gems and not one of the Cosmic Containment Units there should be a paragraph explaining exactly this in the Cosmic Cube article (Like the "not to be confused with" mentionings at the end of each article over at the Unofficial Appendix of the Marvel Universe).

It might be an Infinity Gem in the film, but it's still the MCU version of the Cosmic Cube. Changing the origin of the cube doesn't suddenly mean it isn't the Cosmic Cube anymore, so it's ridiculous that it was removed. DarkKnight2149 20:59, 7 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I know I'm joining this conversation a year and a half later, but Darkknight2149 is right. The Tesseract is named as such in the film to avoid confusion with the Cube from the first Transformers film, but it's still the MCU version of the Cosmic Cube (an interview with Feige confirms this). The fact it double as the Space Stone doesn't detract from this - the Eye of Agamatto also doubles as the Time Stone. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.1.192.233 (talk) 13:02, 26 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Caltech Cosmic Cube

Should this page link, somehow, to: Caltech Cosmic Cube? I never heard of this one before. Gah4 (talk) 08:12, 3 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
