Powers/Abilities: Worldmind was the host of the Mind Stone, one of the Infinity Stones that are the embodiments of several fundamental aspects of the universe. His connection to the Stone allowed him to read and project thoughts, as well as amplify the feelings and memories of other people. He could also compel others to come to him over vast distances. He presumably had access to, or would eventually have developed access to, other powers demonstrated by Mind Stone wielders, such as telekinesis or access to the Mindscape. His powers would have been enhanced exponentially in the presence of other Stone bearers.

Height: Unrevealed (approximately 6'2")
Weight: Unrevealed (approximately 200 lbs)

Hair: Black

History:
(Incredible Hulk Annual II#1 (fb) - BTS) - After Adam Warlock gave the Infinity Stones their own free will, they traveled out into the universe to find hosts. The Mind Stone chose the man who would become Worldmind because, in his words, "it thought [he'd] be able to overcome [his] own darkness." He had no intention of doing so, however, and eventually became aware that Thanos was seeking out the Stones and the hosts they had bonded to. A few months after first bonding with the Stone, Worldmind summoned Colleen Wing out to Mt. Hood National Forest in Oregon, ostensibly to prevent him from killing the Mad Titan.

(Incredible Hulk Annual II#1) - When Colleen arrived in the forest, Worldmind met her and explained that he intended for her to be his bodyguard. She was skeptical, given that he already had the power of an Infinity Stone, and became even more skeptical when he told her about the impending arrival of Thanos. When Thanos did show up, Thanos duly swatted her far into the distance and Worldmind told him that was a mistake because her job was to prevent him from killing Thanos. With that, he used the Stone to force Thanos to relive every painful moment of his life while promising to "smooth out" all those dark memories of his childhood, implicitly making him harmless with none of the rage or drive that made him so powerful. Unfortunately for Worldmind, he underestimated Thanos' force of will and resistance to the Stones, and the Titan punched a hole straight through his torso, stealing the Stone and killing him.

    In desperation, the Mind Stone summoned the Hulk to itself and the resulting fight between the Hulk and Thanos gave the Stone enough time to find and bond to a replacement host, which turned out to be Colleen Wing herself.

Comments: Created by Derek Landy and Geoff Shaw.

    Worldmind has the distinction of being the only one of the initial hosts sought out by the newly-self-aware Stones who died before the bearers were able to come together to form the Infinity Watch.

    There is a panel in which Worldmind and Wing are right next to each other, both standing straight up, which makes his approximated height extremely reliable. He is never shown without his eyes glowing.
