* ''VideoGame/MarvelSuperHeroes'' uses the Infinity Gems as a gameplay element, with each Gem having a different effect (and some being enhanced on certain characters):
** The Power Gem increases attack power. For Spider-Man and Psylocke, it also creates clones that can inflict additional damage (one clone for Spidey that flanks his opponent from behind, two for Psylocke that stand beside her). For Captain America, it provides an even more substantial attack boost. For Wolverine, it engages his "Berserker Charge" state which makes him stronger and faster.
** The Time Gem increases movement speed. Hulk gains an even beefier speed boost, while Shuma-Gorath gains the ability to petrify their opponent.
** The Reality Gem allows the user to throw projectiles with every normal attack. Blackheart also gains invisibility.
** The Space Gem grants [[ImmuneToFlinching Super Armor]]. Magneto and Juggernaut both gain varying degrees of invulnerability.
** The Soul Gem continuously restores health. In Iron Man's hands, it also gives his attacks an electric boost that saps their meter.
** The Mind Gem continuously fills the user's Super Combo meter. Unlike the other Gems, it can only be obtained from Thanos by knocking it out of his possession.
* ''VideoGame/MarvelVsCapcomInfinite'' brings back the Infinite Gems -- now "Infinity Stones". They grant the player an additional ability each, as well as an "Infinity Storm" DesperationMove.
** The Power Stone lets its users perform a hard knockback attack on command. Its Infinity Storm grants the player significantly-increased attack power and knockback.
** The Space Stone lets the user move their opponent forward or back. Its Infinity Storm conjures an energy cage around the opponent that restricts their movement.
** The Time Stone lets its users perform a FlashStep on command. Its Infinity Storm increases the user's movement speed and lets attacks combo into each other more easily.
** The Reality Stone launches a slow-moving homing projectile on cue. Its Infinity Storm lets the user unleash ranged attacks with every attack.
** The Mind Stone provides a special grapple attack that can stun opponents. Its Infinity Storm continuously fills the user's Hyper Combo Meter.
** The Soul Stone creates a ranged attack that can sap some of the opponent's health. Its Infinity Storm summons both of the player's characters to the field to fight at the same time -- and if one character had been KO'd before, they will be brought back into action with 10% of their health restored.

* The ''TabletopGame/{{Earthdawn}}'' roleplaying game features not only crystal plate mail and shields, but also ''living crystal'' armor (small columns) and so-called "blood pebbles" (hundreds of small magical gems) that can be implanted into a character's skin and grow by feeding on the magic of the character's blood until they provide a natural armor bonus on the whole body (except the head). Because the crystal is alive and part of the character's body, the character can feel and move with it as if the crystal was his skin.

In the Book Two episode "Breathe", he learns to do it without the Primal Stone, which was thought to be impossible for humans by many.
