Initially, Adam was known by His name (in the English version - Him). It was the result of an experiment conducted by crazy scientists from the Enclave organization. The members of the Enclave wanted to create the ideal person who could be used for their own needs. However, things did not go according to plan. He ran into a superhero team known as the Fantastic Four. The team leader, Reed Richards , shed light on the origins of Adam. Warlock, in order to collect his thoughts after such a shocking discovery, left Earth. In parallel, the Fantastic Four tried to catch scientists from the Enclave. However, they destroyed their own headquarters and fled.
His travels in the galaxy did not last long. After all, the hero fell into a trap that was directly in the center of the asteroid. Fortunately, Huatu, better known as the Observer, came to the rescue. It was he who returned Him to Earth. When He returned to Earth, he met an Asgardian goddess named Seth. He wanted to make the girl his sidekick, which seriously angered Thor's son. The battle was avoided. After all, He was created around himself by a cocoon that even the God of Thunder could not break.
Meeting with the Evolutionary
Later He is met by the Supreme Evolutionary. And this became a key moment in the character’s biography. Firstly, the Evolutionary gives His human name - Adam Warlock. Why exactly this name? Warlock, which is translated from English as "sorcerer", indicates the incredible strength of the hero. Adam - because He was the first and only representative of his artificially bred race. Secondly, the Evolutionary gives Warlock a powerful artifact called the Soul Stone, which, as it turned out later, is one of the six Infinity Stones.
The evolutionist sends Adam to Counter-Earth. There, Warlock enters into battle with a villain nicknamed the Beast Man. This creature was created by the Evolutionary in order to test the strength of Adam. However, Warlock did not complete the task and died at the hands of the Beast-Man and his assistants. Nevertheless, the hero’s adventures did not end there. Before his death, Adam created a cocoon around him, with the help of which the hero was able to be reborn. Not only that, Warlock became much stronger after his rebirth. Having returned to life, Adam unites with the Hulk and defeats the Beast Man.
Space trip
Although Adam overthrew the cruel regime of the Beast-Man, he failed to completely eradicate the evil that flourished on Counter-Earth. It is for this reason that the hero goes on a long space journey. Adam plans to bring light and good to other parts of the universe. During his wanderings, Warlock meets an intergalactic religious organization called the Church of the Universal Truth, which is ruled by a corrupt alien Magus. Adam plans to overthrow his regime. To do this, he unites with the titan Thanos, his adopted daughter Gammora and a troll named Pip.
The team in every way opposes the head of the Church. But, as it turned out later, Magus is the future incarnation of Adam Warlock. How is this possible? The fact is that Warlock from the future used the Soul Stone in order to travel through time and space. During these wanderings, Adam lost his mind and became Magus. Thanos helped Adam from the present to penetrate the consciousness of the villain. There, Adam stopped himself and thus prevented the appearance of Magus. The victory of good over evil is accomplished. However, this story greatly influenced Adam. After all, he saw his own death in the future. The worst thing is that the hero did not know when the old woman with a scythe would come to his soul. With this thought, he continued his wanderings.
Thanos Madness
In a battle with Magus, Thanos showed himself as an ally of Adam. However, soon everything changed, and former associates became enemies. The fact is that the distraught Thanos collected five Infinity Stones and wanted to destroy the Earth's Sun. In order to gain unlimited power and bring his plan to life, he needed to find another artifact - the Soul Stone, which was kept by Adam Warlock. The Avengers teamed up with Adam to stop the distraught Thanos. The fight was incredibly intense. However, the heroes were able to defeat the titan. Nevertheless, there were some casualties. Adam Warlock became a captive of the Soul Stone.
Infinity Glove
After a certain amount of time, a threat loomed again over the universe. Thanos was resurrected and took up the old again. The villain planned to destroy the universe. The Titan collected all the stones and combined them into the Glove of Infinity, thus gaining unlimited power. Thanos was soon attacked by the Silver Surfer and Drax the Destroyer, who wanted to prevent the destruction of the universe. However, the Titan imprisoned them in the Soul Stone. There the Surfer met Adam. The heroes decided to join forces in the fight against Thanos. Adam Warlock creates his friends new bodies, and thus they are selected from the Soul Stone. Warlock leads the heroes of the Earth and once again defeats Thanos.
