'''Adam Warlock''' is a [[Marvel Comics]] character, a [[Science Fantasy|cosmic hero]] who has starred in his own series several times. He's best known for being the personal nemesis of [[Thanos]], for his connection to the [[Infinity Gauntlet]] and the Soul Gem, and as a founding member of the 616 version of the [[Guardians of the Galaxy]].
 
He first appeared in ''Fantastic Four'' vol. 1 #66-67 (September-October, 1967), created by [[Stan Lee]] and [[Jack Kirby]] for a [[Fantastic Four]] story, but in an earlier form called simply "Him", an artificial lifeform that escaped its creators. In ''Marvel Premiere'' #1 (April, 1972) writer [[Roy Thomas]] and artist Gil Kane reinvented him as a sort of [[No Such Thing Asas Space Jesus|"Space Jesus"]]. This version came complete with crucifixion and resurrection! His task was to save an artificial parallel Earth ([[Counter -Earth]]) from [[Satan|a rebellious creation of its maker]], The High Evolutionary.
 
But even more character-defining were the writings of [[Jim Starlin]]. It was under him that Adam became the [[Warrior Poet|philosopher-hero]] that he is best known to be today, as well as the [[Nemesis]] of Thanos. Starlin also introduced the rest of his supporting cast including Pip the Troll (his best friend, a drunken space satyr) and Gamora, his love interest, Thanos' former personal assassin.
Line 13:
Warlock has suffered some [[Character Derailment]] at the hands of lesser writers over the years, but still exists in the [[Marvel Universe]] and occasionally pops up to save the day again.
