Publication history

1960s to 1970s

The character debuted in Fantastic Four #67 (September-October 1967) with a cameo appearance in a story written by Stan Lee and pencilled and co-plotted by Jack Kirby.[1] After a subsequent and first full appearance as "Him" in Thor #165 (June 1969), writer and then Marvel editor-in-chief Roy Thomas and penciler Gil Kane significantly revamped Him as the allegorical Messiah Adam Warlock in Marvel Premiere #1 (April 1972).[2]

In 2009, Thomas explained he had been a fan of the soundtrack to the musical Jesus Christ Superstar and sought to bring the story to comic books in a superhero context: "Yes, I had some trepidation about the Christ parallels, but I hoped there would be little outcry if I handled it tastefully, since I was not really making any serious statement on religion... at least not overtly." [3] Choosing to use a preexisting character while keeping the series locale separate from mainstream Marvel Earth, he created Counter-Earth, a new planet generated from a chunk of Earth and set in orbit on the opposite side of the sun.[4] Thomas and Kane collaborated on the costume, with the red tunic and golden lightning bolt as their homage to Fawcett Comics' 1940s-1950s character Captain Marvel.[4]

The story continued in the series The Power of Warlock, which ran eight issues (August 1972 - October 1973),[5] with some plotlines concluded in The Incredible Hulk vol. 2, #176-178 (June-Aug. 1974).[6]

In a 2009 retrospective survey of the character, writer Karen Walker said the series

"... continued the story of Adam's attempts to drive the [fallen-angel figure the] Man-Beast out of Counter-Earth, but drifted toward standard superhero stories with pseudo-Biblical references injected into them. Warlock spends much of his time trying to convince the High Evolutionary not to destroy the planet, and the rest of his time battling the Man-Beast and his minions. Although the concept of a superhero savior was still present, it often came across as forced, and certainly contradictory to the idea of a pacifistic savior. It's questionable whether the concept could really work in a medium driven by physical conflict."[7]

Marvel Premiere #1 (April 1972). Debut of Him as Adam Warlock. Cover art by Gil Kane and Dan Adkins.

Writer-artist Jim Starlin revived Warlock in Strange Tales #178-181 (February-August 1975).[8] Warlock's adventures became more cosmic in scope as Starlin took the character through an extended storyline referred to as "The Magus Saga."[9]

The reimagined title continued the numbering of The Power of Warlock and began with Warlock #9 (October 1975) and ran seven issues. The bimonthly series was initially written and drawn by Starlin, but was eventually co-penciled and inked by Steve Leialoha. Some plot threads were concluded in Marvel Team-Up #55 (March 1977), Avengers Annual #7 (November 1977) and Marvel Two-in-One Annual #2 (December 1977).[10]

Starlin, in a 2009 interview, recalled,

"I had quit [the cosmic superhero series] Captain Marvel over a dispute at that point, but I settled the dispute with Marvel and I was going to come back [to that title]. But [a different team was in place]. So Roy [Thomas] asked me [what character] I wanted to do. So I went home that night and pulled out a bunch of comics. I came across, in the Fantastic Four, Him, and came back the next day and said that's who I wanted to do, and that night I started working on it... I had basically taken Captain Marvel, a warrior, and turned him into sort of a messiah-type character. So when I got to Warlock, I said to myself, 'I got a messiah right here to start off with; where do I go from there?' And I decided a paranoid schizophrenic was the route to take."[11]

Artist Alan Weiss recalled in a 2006 interview there was a "lost" Adam Warlock story, which if completed would have been reminiscent of the Jonathan Swift novel Gulliver's Travels.[12] Portions of it were printed in the second volume of Marvel Masterworks: Warlock. The remainder of the artwork was lost in a New York City taxicab in 1976.[13]

Warlock's adventures were reprinted, with new Starlin covers, in the six-issue limited series Special Edition on Warlock (December 1982 - May 1983).[14] This reprint series was itself reprinted, with yet another set of new Starlin covers, as Warlock vol. 2 (May-Oct. 1992).[15]

Although regarded as deceased, Warlock made a brief appearance in a Marvel Two-In-One #63 (May 1980).

1990s revival

Eleven years later, Starlin revived the character and two members of his supporting cast in the miniseries Infinity Gauntlet #1-6 (July-December 1991).[16][17] This plot development was a continuation of a larger storyline that began with the resurrection of Thanos in Silver Surfer vol. 3, #34 (February 1990).

Following the events of the The Infinity Gauntlet, Warlock and several compatriots starred in the series Warlock and the Infinity Watch. Initially written by Starlin and drawn by Angel Medina, it ran 42 issues (February 1992 - August 1995). Its plots tied directly into the limited series Infinity War (June-November 1992) and Infinity Crusade (June-December 1993).

Warlock starred in several limited series, including Silver Surfer/Warlock: Resurrection #1-4 (March–June 1993); The Warlock Chronicles #1-8 (July 1993 - February 1994); and Warlock vol. 3, #1-4 (November 1998 - February 1999), by writer-penciler Tom Lyle.[18] The character was featured in the intercompany crossovers between Marvel Comics and the Malibu Comics "Ultraverse" in the one-shot Rune / Silver Surfer (April 1995 in indicia, June 1995 on cover); Rune vol. 2, #1-7 (September 1995 - April 1996), and the two-issue Ultraverse Unlimited (June and September 1996).

Following the unrelated, 1999-2000 series Warlock vol. 4, featuring the alien cybernetic character Warlock of the New Mutants team,[19] Adam Warlock co-starred with Thanos in the limited series The Infinity Abyss #1-6 (August-October 2002); Marvel Universe: The End #1-6 (May-August 2003; first four issues biweekly); and Thanos #1-6 (December 2003 - April 2004). A version of the character starred in the four-issue limited series Warlock vol. 5 (November 2004 - February 2005), by writer Greg Pak and artist Charles Adlard. After appearances in Annihilation Conquest: Quasar #1-4 (September-December 2007) and Annihilation Conquest # 1-6 (November 2007 - April 2008), he was a key character in Guardians of the Galaxy vol. 2, #1-25 (July 2008 - April 2010), The Thanos Imperative #1 (June 2010) and the Ignition one-shot (May 2010)

Fictional character biography

Creation, Metamorphosis, and Death

Him is an artificial human created by scientists working in the Enclave.[20] He rebels against them[21] and battles Thor[22] before fleeing to space.

Him's cocoon is recovered by the High Evolutionary, who declares that he will be known to humans as "Warlock" and enlists his aid in ridding Counter-Earth of the evil Man Beast.[23] The High Evolutionary gives Warlock a green soul gem (also referred to as the "soul jewel") to help him in this fight. When he arrives on counter-Earth,[24] he has amnesia and only recalls that he is known as "Warlock". Thinking that this is his surname, one of four youths who find him and become his companions, rechristens him "Adam". After the Man Beast's defeat, Warlock leaves Counter-Earth.[25]

Warlock opposes the Universal Church of Truth, an intergalactic religious empire presided over by the Magus.[26] With the help of Pip the Troll,[27] the assassin Gamora,[28] and Gamora's employer, Thanos, Warlock discovers the Magus is himself from the future, driven insane by the use of his Soul Gem and the In-Betweener.[29] Warlock chooses to alter his timeline by visiting himself a few months into the future and stealing his own soul, preventing the Magus and the Universal Church of Truth from ever existing.[30]

While fighting off the Stranger's attempt to steal the Soul Gem, Warlock discovers the existence of five other gems.[31] Thanos has gained possession of these gems and plans to use them to blow up Earth's sun. Warlock returns to Thanos' vessel to find Gamora dying and Pip's mind destroyed by Thanos. He steals their souls to end their suffering. Warlock enlists the aid of the Avengers, Captain Marvel, and Moondragon to battle Thanos. When Thanos mortally wounds Warlock and leaves him for dead, Warlock's soul is taken by his earlier self.[32] The cosmic entities Lord Chaos and Master Order intervene, causing the gem to release Warlock's soul. A newly empowered Warlock turns Thanos to stone and returns to the Soul Gem. Inside the gem, Warlock finds a peaceful world where he lives in harmony with Pip, Gamora, and others whose souls the gem had stolen.[33]

Rebirth

The modern version of Adam Warlock: Guardians of the Galaxy vol. 2, #17 (October 2009). Cover art by Mike Perkins.

When Thanos once again gains the gems[34] and steals the soul of the Silver Surfer,[35] Surfer convinces Warlock, Pip, and Gamora to leave Soul World and help defeat Thanos.[36][37] Thanos has assembled the six gems into the Infinity Gauntlet, and Warlock leads a group of Earth's superheroes against him.[38] Warlock obtains the Gauntlet,[39] but in a subsequent hearing attended by the various cosmic beings of the universe such as Eternity and Galactus, is deemed unworthy of it by the Living Tribunal, in part because of the threat of him eventually becoming the Magus.[40] He keeps the soul gem for himself and gives one gem each to Pip, Gamora, Drax the Destroyer, Moondragon, and a reformed Thanos — the group being called the Infinity Watch.[41][42]

During Warlock's temporary possession of the Gauntlet, he purges all good and evil from his being, leaving him entirely a creature of logic. The "moral" aspects of his persona in turn take on physical forms — the evil half becomes a new incarnation of the Magus, while the good half becomes the self-styled Goddess. Warlock, aided by an army of superheroes, eventually defeats each in turn, and absorbs them into the Soul Gem.[43][44] The Watch then battles to protect the soul gem from Count Abyss, a powerful entity who has no soul of his own. After finally defeating him, the infinity gems are stolen by Rune, an extradimensional vampire.[45] The Infinity Watch disbands[46] and Warlock goes to track down Rune.[47] Following the discovery of a seventh gem, Warlock and the gems are returned to the main Marvel Universe.[48][49]

Warlock is reborn in a new body in time to convince Thanos to give up the power of the Heart of the Universe.[50] Warlock and a multitude of superheroes team with Thanos to defeat several rogue clones of the Eternal[51] and assists in Thanos' attempt at redeeming himself.[52]

Annihilation: Conquest

Warlock is incapacitated by the backlash of souls killed during the "Annihilation" war, and re-enters hibernation in a cocoon. The superheroines Quasar and Moondragon awaken Warlock hoping he will help the Kree fight off the Phalanx.[53] Once the Phalanx is defeated,[54] Warlock agrees to join the hero Star-Lord in a new version of the Guardians of the Galaxy.[55] In an attempt to repair some damage to Spacetime, Warlock becomes the Magus.[56] He is killed shortly after.[57] His cocoon is under the watch of the Annihilators.[58]

Powers and abilities

As Him, the character possessed superhuman strength; speed; durability; stamina; agility and the ability to manipulate cosmic energy for energy projection, flight and recuperation (e.g. creating a cocoon for self-preservation and regeneration). However, Him sacrificed the majority of these powers by prematurely emerging from his cocoon in order to defend the High Evolutionary from an assault by the Man-Beast. In compensation, the High Evolutionary gave Him the Soul Gem.[23] The Gem possesses a consciousness of its own and demonstrates a vampiric hunger for the life energies of organic beings. It contains an idyllic pocket universe that hosts all the souls the Gem has ever taken. The latest version of Warlock uses "Quantum magic" and can manipulate energy; create force fields; teleport; travel faster than light and detect wormholes and other irregularities in space.

He has the power to devolve the followers of Man-Beast into the animals from which they evolved,[59] as well as revert the Brute into Counter-Earth Reed Richards.[60] This power comes from his soul gem.[61]

Other versions

The Magus

The Magus, from Strange Tales #181 (August 1975). Art by Jim Starlin.

The Magus is Adam Warlock's future, evil self who has traveled to the past and rules a religious empire called the Universal Church of Truth. The Magus guides Warlock through a series of actions that will eventually result in him becoming the Magus.[26][27][28][62] Warlock resists, and avoids becoming the Magus with the aid of Thanos. When Warlock successfully chooses a different future - suicide - the Magus ceases to exist.[30]

Warlock is later resurrected and acquires the Infinity Gauntlet,[39] a powerful artifact. He uses it to expel his evil psyche, which takes physical form as the Magus. The Magus wages war on Warlock and other superheroes in an attempt to gain the Infinity Gauntlet for himself, but fails. After the Magus is defeated, he is trapped in a soul dimension as a phantom.[43]

The Magus escapes the Soul Gem in an immaterial form. He absorbs the life energies of others to regain his physical form and power, and schemes to usurp the cosmic power of Genis-Vell. Genis defeats the Magus and reverts him back to an energy form.[63][64][65] The Magus then retaliates against Genis's friends and allies. The Magus wounds Moondragon and then heals her, revealing that she is destined to become his slave.[66]

In an effort to repair damage to spacetime, Warlock "stitches" a tear with an alternate, stable timeline- the timeline where he became the Magus, causing his immediate transformation. Magus then takes control of the Universal Church of Truth and fights the Guardians of the Galaxy.[56]

The Magus allies himself with Lord Mar-Vell, and is killed when he fails a mission.[57] The church briefly resurrected him as a child before the Annihilators imprisoned him inside his cocoon.[58]

The Goddess

The Goddess is the embodiment of Adam Warlock's goodness, created when he uses the Infinity Gauntlet to remove the quality from himself.[39][67] She appears as a central figure in the 1993 limited series Infinity Crusade. She assembles a collection of cosmic cubes and forges them into a Cosmic Egg. Using its power, she recreates Counter-Earth, dubbing it Paradise Omega.[68] Embarking on a crusade to eliminate sin, the Goddess uses telepathy to control spiritual beings across the universe, recruiting them to her cause. When Warlock and Earth's other heroes learn she plans to destroy all sin by destroying anything capable of sin, they rally against her. She is defeated when her followers learn her true goal, and is absorbed into the soul gem.[69]

Earth X

In the Earth X limited series, Mar-Vell is reincarnated as the child of the synthetic Adam Warlock/Him and Kismet/Her.[70]
