Mephisto also has proposed that a billion-sentient universally-linked will could overcome this problem, and that the Cubes could be as powerful as the Infinity Gems. Mephisto has postulated that the Cubes are hosts to a semi-sentient will and that, even in Cube form, they can choose how they want to be used, and deny certain wishes. It would also provide the Cube with its almost-unlimited power.Ī Cube would eventually develop its own intelligence, commonly influenced by the beings who had manipulated it. When entering the Earth's dimension, the energies can be held in a matrix, and the force itself would shape the matrix into a perfect cube. Sentient beings wanting to create a Cosmic Cube must generate a force field to open a rift to another dimension inhabited by the Beyonders, allowing the extra-dimensional energy to filter through the rift. However, similar objects with different shapes are known as Cosmic Containment Units. They require practice to be used properly, but a skillful user can alter all reality to answer to its thought, granting anything they desire. The Cosmic Cubes are objects that control matter and energy, answering to the will of the sentient beings that use them.
