Adam Warlock is artificially created on Earth by the Enclave to be a perfect being and the next evolution of humanity. Originally known only as "Him", he learned of his creators' intentions and rebelled against them to seek a new destiny. Eventually coming across the High Evolutionary, the rechristened Adam Warlock ultimately becomes a hero of the universe, chiefly protecting it from threats such as Thanos, the Universal Church of Truth, and his evil counterpart, the Magus. He is also frequently the bearer of the Soul Stone, one of the fabled Infinity Gems (now called Infinity Stones). The character also serves as the leader of the Infinity Watch and a member of the Guardians of the Galaxy, specializing as the latter's cosmic sorcerer and occult expert.
Adam Warlock has been adapted in various forms of media, including animated television series and video games, and was portrayed by Will Poulter in his live-action debut in the Marvel Cinematic Universe film Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 (2023).
