Cronus

The Gems of Cronus were three powerful jewels created by the ruler of the Titans, Cronus and they appeared in episode XXXIV: Jack and the Swamp Monster. Each Gem gave Cronus a power and he placed each into a piece of armor; one in his helmet and two in his guantlets. With these gems, Cronus could control all of reality and bend it to his will. Due to this great power, Cronus went mad with paranoia and power, nearly destroying everything had it not been for his son Zeus defeating him. He was then stripped of the Gems and they were cast down to Earth to keep them out of the hands of his mad father.

Jack tried to obtain the gems when he heard that they could help him go back in time, due to the fact Cronus had control over human time, by a mysterious hermit. After obtaining the three gems, the mermit revealed himself as Aku and used the gems to revive Cronus. However, Jack knew it was Aku the whole time, and kept one of the jewls, eakening the pseudo-titan and destroying it. Aku then tried to use the power himself, but was defeated and ran away. Jack then gathered the three gems and went on his way.
