ORIGIN STORY
Originally, Adam Warlock was the product of scientific experiments by the organization known as the Enclave1. To this end, their aim was to create a being who would be the pinnacle of human evolution. But their intentions were evil. When Adam emerged, he was known as Him and was beyond his creators’ control. Quickly, he sensed their evil intentions and lashed out at them, destroying their lair, injured his “fathers”, then escaped.2
BECOMING ADAM WARLOCK
With no life experience, Him abducted Lady Sif and attempted to make her his mate. Enraged, Thor nearly beat Him to death. Later, Him entered a cocoon.3
At the end of the process, he was reborn and the High Evolutionary named him Adam Warlock. Under the High Evolutionary’s tutelage, Warlock was given purpose. In addition, he was given the vampiric Soul Gem.4
Later, High Evolutionary would assign Warlock to Counter-Earth where he would fight his nemesis, Man-Beast who was one of the Evolutionary’s failed experiments.4
