Whatever happened to Adam Warlock?

[teepee]

they kept getting rebuffed by Marvel brass who say they have plans for Warlock.

I guess their plans for Warlock involve him turning up every now and again to do his Waldorf and Statler thing with Thanos to keep Starlin happy, so he won't fuss about the fact he owns Thanos.

That could be, but since the character is one of the most frequently pitched characters (along with Dr Strange), I don't think we can classify him as "D-List".

Adam Warlock would be C-list at best.

Sadly the only way he would make more comic appearances would be if he shows up in the third GOTG movie. And i'm dreading to see James Gunn's version of Adam.

They're probably keeping him under wraps until Guardians of the Galaxy 3.

COVID-19 pushed everything back.

Adam Warlock has been one of my favorites since i was in junior high school. Such an underrated character.

Part of the problem is that the version fans like is Jim Starlin's version and not that many people can to Jim's version like Jim.

This...is probably true.

Eh, Starlin's Warlock is the gold standard of course, but i liked Dan Abnett's version as the Gandalf to Star-Lord's Aragorn. Too bad he had to turn him into Magus and kill him off.

That's another reason i think Starlin's OGNs were needed, because Adam deserved a better sendoff.

He was a main character in Infinity Wars and had a one-shot as well.

I thought his impact to the story was minimal.

I mostly, only like the Starlin Warlock from its '70s iterations, through some of the Watch stories and the Crusade/ etc series. Somewhere in the '90s or whenever, other writers rather altered him and I didn't follow much.

I liked Dan Abnett's version of Adam from Annihilation Conquest.

While I don't dislike Warlock, I've never been really interested in him. To me, he is a plot device used to move cosmic stories on. He doesn't have a real personality to me.

Read Jim Starlin's Warlock from the seventies. Adam Is a angsty character struggling with existenzialisn and the line between sanity and insanity.

I wish they’d do more with Adam and Ayesha.
