Only this time, Adam Warlock is created by the alien Sovereign, not Earth scientists. 2 that showed that Adam Warlock was finally coming into the MCU. But it was the post-credits tag to Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. Marvel teased the character in both Thor: The Dark World and Guardians of the Galaxy, where his cocoon was shown.

It’s possible Marvel wanted the focus solely on the main Avengers team.

The entire concept of the Infinity Stones comes from Adam Warlock comics, after all.Īt the end of the day, only Kevin Feige knows for sure why Adam Warlock never appeared in the MCU’s Infinity Saga. Given Adam Warlock’s importance to the whole Infinity Gauntlet saga and all its various comic spinoffs, it’s not clear why he didn’t feature in the MCU’s Infinity Saga. Terrible Cosmic Abilities, Itty Bitty Living Space: Adam Warlock’s PowersĪdam Warlock has appeared in animated form before, first in the animated film Planet Hulk and then in shows like Avengers: Earth’s Mightiest Heroes and Guardians of the Galaxy. But despite these appearances and his comic book history, Adam Warlock hasn’t surfaced in the MCU yet. Perhaps we may see these inter-Adam Warlock battles appear somewhere in the MCU. It is interesting to note that Warlock’s “good” and “bad” emotions go on to form their own beings, which Warlock later has to fight. So, unless, James Gunn throws a curveball our way, or Adam Warlock appears first as Magus, it seems unlikely he will join the MCU as a villain. He comes like Spock from Star Trek, only with gold skin like Data from The Next Generation. Additionally, like Spock and Data, Adam Warlock is also a logic-based character who falls on the side of good in Marvel Comics. To best host the Soul Gem, Adam Warlock purges himself of all emotion, becoming a creature of pure logic. This group became known as The Infinity Watch. Adam Warlock gives one gem out to several different individuals while keeping the Soul Gem for himself. Instead of the gems being destroyed like in the MCU, however, Adam Warlock splits them up in the Marvel Comics’ version of the story. With Earth’s heroes in tow, they defeat Thanos, just like in the MCU.

In the comics, Adam Warlock leaves the Soulworld along with Gamora, who was also trapped there, essentially resurrecting themselves.
