If two Earths touched, then both realities would be destroyed. It was discovered that all of reality was slowly condensing, causing incursions between parallel worlds. When the Black Panther discovered an alternate Earth that was about to crash into his Earth, he reported his findings to the Illuminati, which now included Captain America as a member. Each member of the Illuminati takes a gem for safe keeping, deciding that it's best to keep them separate. He almost loses himself to the power, but is saved when the Watcher shows up. Richards dons the Infinity Gauntlet and tries to will the gems out of existence, but is unable to.
