Erik Selvig to build a portal using the Tesseract's Space Stone powers. Fast-forward to 2012, and Loki arrives on Earth, steals the Tesseract out from under S.H.I.E.L.D.'s collective nose, and kidnaps Dr. storage/testing facility for the next couple of decades. for safekeeping.Īssuming the MCU doesn't pull another fast one on us, we can safely say the Tesseract chilled out in a S.H.I.E.L.D. Carol, Nick Fury, Maria Rambeau, the Skrull Talos, and Goose the cat/Flerken find the Tesseract, put it in a Fonz lunchbox, and save the day before relinquishing the Tesseract to S.H.I.E.L.D. The Tesseract was actually sitting up in Lawson's Earth-orbiting laboratory and stayed there until Carol returned to Earth six years later and regained her memories. Yon-Rogg killed Lawson and, to keep the Engine out of Yon-Rogg's hands, Carol destroyed it.Ĭarol then accidentally absorbs the Tesseract energy contained within the Engine, which gave her all those fantastic cosmic powers.īut the Tesseract itself wasn't in the Engine, just some of its energy. Lawson harnessed the Tesseract's energy, made the Light-Speed Engine, and was then foiled by Yon-Rogg and the Kree. Air Force/NASA program called Project P.E.G.A.S.U.S. Lawson test this Light-Speed Engine as part of a joint U.S. We can assume she came to Earth specifically because she knew the Tesseract - and, therefore, the Space Stone - was kept here, but we're still unsure how the Tesseract came to be involved with her project after Stark found it.Įnter Carol Danvers, who helped Dr. Mar-Vell, a Kree scientist who goes by the name Wendy Lawson, comes to Earth in order to work on a Light-Speed Engine that will help the Skrull escape the Kree's grasp. But they did the Tesseract - and boy, did it cause some more problems. It seems they'd traced its energy signature in the hopes of finding Cap, something they didn't end up achieving for decades. How did it get there? What's it been up to? Hasn't this thing been around for long enough? The answer to all these questions (and more) can be found below in this brief history of the Tesseract's time in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.Ĭaptain America: The First Avenger - Howard Stark Locates The TesseractĪs far as we knew 'til Captain Marvel, this is where the Tesseract's story stopped until The Avengers.Īt the end of Captain America, Howard Stark and a team of technicians find the Tesseract at the bottom of the ocean. The Tesseract's involvement in this film, though, raised a lot of questions amongst fans. All-consuming power, it turns out, can be positive. Given that Captain Marvel takes place between (most of) Captain America and The Avengers, it was prime real estate for a throwback to simpler times - a time before the Space Stone helped take out half of all life in the universe.īut amongst all that bad Space Stone press, between the Nazi weapons and opening portals for alien armies, the Tesseract actually did some good in the universe by making Captain Marvel. That damn cube was responsible for a lot of bad in the MCU's Phase One Red Skull and the rise of Hydra for one, and the Battle of New York for another.

The Tesseract's involvement in Captain Marvel was a surprise, to say the least, but it probably shouldn't have been. Maybe it was brought out on occasion for various tests, but, otherwise, we thought it lived a quiet, hero-less life post- Captain America: The First Avenger until popping onto Loki's radar in 2012's The Avengers.Ĭaptain Marvel freed us of this assumption. **SPOILER WARNING: This story contains spoilers for Captain Marvel.**įor the longest time, we thought the Tesseract, the glowing cube container for the Space Stone, had been hanging out in some S.H.I.E.L.D.-sanctioned facility. Despite her enormous power, Captain Marvel isn't the perceived, all-powerful weapon for the majority of her own movie.
