 Thanos the Mad Titan - The best Thanos resource on the Web
Warlock promptly retreated to the safety of a regenerative cocoon and thus was later reborn.
Warlock accepted this all-important mission, but was instead driven insane by the transfer of the information that Atleza would need to assume her duties.
Warlock went on to convince Thanos that the Titan had a grand purpose and that he and only he could restore the cosmos and finally repair the imbalance that had threatened it, but that the cost would seemingly be Thanos' own life.

 Revolving Door of Death 04 - Adam Warlock (Mar 1999)
Warlock's compromises stripped away from him everything by which he judged himself fit to wield his considerable powers; and in his campaign against the Magus, he sunk to the point that he enlisted the aid of the genocidal demigod Thanos, who would ultimately destroy the few friends that remained to him.
Warlock seemingly defeated the Magus by travelling to a year in the future, where his life would ebb low, then stealing his own soul with the vampiric soul gem set in his brow; and when he reached his near-future self, he found a willing victim.
The Adam Warlock that emerged from the soul gem has a title and duties and occasionally muses about death and entropy and the like; he sometimes serves as an arbiter in matters cosmic(k); but he lacks the endearing and enduring element of tragedy that Starlin so admirably created the first time and ultimately undid.

 Profile of Adam Warlock   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
Adam Warlock had known that Thanos the Mad Titan had taken control of the Infinity Gauntlet for a while and decided to attempt to stop Thanos' mad scheme for fear that he may attach the Soul World when finished with the normal Universe.

Warlock eventually won out with the help of Eternity and Infinity the Magus was vanquished to the Soul World, and Adam Warlock was in a coma like state.

Adam Warlock was the prototype for a perfect human life form grown from artificial genetic material, which the Enclave intended to mass produce to form an invincible army to conquer the world.
Warlock was briefly summoned from the tranquil pocket dimension inside the gem by Spider-Man. Seething with cosmic power released through his physical death, Warlock transformed Thanos to living, unmoving stone, and then returned to the gem.
The soul-gem enabled Warlock to project beams of concussive energy (whether it was his body's own energy focused through the gem or the gem's energy is not known), devolve organisms to more primitive states, and absorb the souls (life forces or consciousnesses) of other beings.

 Magus (comics) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Although Warlock destroyed the Magus by preventing the Magus' timeline from having ever existed, a new Magus was created when Warlock obtained the Infinity Gauntlet and subconsciously cast out the evil aspect of his psyche.
When not endowed with additional power by cosmic artifacts, the Magus is superhumanly strong, has god-like senses and is capable of manipulating cosmic energy on a cellular level for a myriad of effects, such as unassisted flight at escape velocity and the creation of force fields.
The character and his son the deceased New Mutant, Warlock, were intended as an homage to Jim Starlin's characters: the original Magus and Adam Warlock.

 Public Square 02 - Starlin's Warlock Manifesto (Sep 2000)
Warlock, previously, has held back somewhat (at least he says he has) out of doubt of the rightness of his cause, but in close confrontation with the inquisitor Kray-Tor, he realizes the pointlessness of trying to remain in the moral high ground while the goons take over the balance of reality.
Warlock has had enough of this scenario - Starlin had an eccelent feel of how long to prolong a joke in these books - and so he decides he needs to leave the Land of the Way It Is, bullying his hapless clown guide into revealing the secret way out of the place.
Warlock enters a swirly-space domain called "Kismet" to track down and destroy the future timeline(s) that lead to his becoming the Magus; by swallowing his own (future) soul into the Soul Gem, he denies the Magus the substance of his own birth, and thus corrects both future and past.

 Warlock
Adam Warlock felt his spirit breaking free of the bonds of the flesh, twisting along the narrow corridor the Soul Gem had forged between he and Thanos.
All around Warlock was a barren landscape, the plains littered with dying trees and the sky painted a terrible shade of purple.
Adam narrowly avoided the slash of her blade, all too aware that death here could prevent him from ever returning to his physical body.

 Opinions 38 - Hitting the Wall V: Adam Warlock (Sep 2000)
Warlock could have become a Bronze Age great, but for the early mistake of trying to make him a superheroic messiah in his premiere appearances in Power of Warlock.
When Adam Warlock trod the road to ruin, when his life and self-esteem crumbled to nothing, when he saw his lowest ebb, at that point did he present a formidable front to the reader.
As their antonym, Warlock need only differ from them in a single property - he plays the role of "good guy" to theirs of "bad guy." However, as these villains become trite, overused, and cliched, so too must Warlock suffer; he neatly reflects the exhaustion of his enemies.

 The Magus!
This latter incarnation was the "evil, masculine" side of Warlock's personality rather than Warlock's future self; none-the-less, the reborn shade of the Magus had the memories and many of the abilities of the original.
Adam did this by erasing the time-line of the Magus as the Magus and Thanos were (literally!) locked in a Life or Death struggle, fading the Magus out of existance and ensuring that the day (and the universe) belonged to the champion of Death.
When Warlock exiled the Good and Evil aspects of his personality while in possession of the Infinity Gauntlet, the Magus was reborn, kinda.

 Maya (Adam Warlock character)
Warlock told her he didn't drink spirits, but she convinced him to have a sip as the tradition was a strong sign of good faith and trust to her people.
Adam marshaled his will and allowed Maya to be taken from him so that he could think more clearly and plot a resolution.
(Warlock and the Infinity Watch#33) - Abyss forced Maya to work as his servant, taking food to his prisoners while he taunted her with the fact that the powerful passion she felt for Warlock was a farce.

Furthermore, Warlock saw that he proved himself to be a villain by willingly stealing a soul.

 Warlock: The Magus Saga   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
Space-faring Adam Warlock encounters a self-styled God, the Magus, ruler of an oppressive, systems-spanning religious empire.
Worse, Warlock suspects that Magus is actually the dark-side of his own id, somehow free and wreaking havoc on the innocent.
In some respects, Starlin was clearly influenced by British fantasy writer Michael Moorcock with Warlock as the melancholy hero, a pawn of cosmic forces he doesn't understand, but he goes way beyond Moorcock in his mind-shattering scenario.

 COMICON.com: GREG PAK WARLOCK "To Judge & Punish!"
Essentially, Warlock is growing up during the course of this first story arc, figuring out who he is and what he's here to do.
I'm wondering if the original Adam Warlock is going to turn up sometime (one of their "failed creations"), and confront this new version of himself.
Adam Warlock, Pip & Gamorra were all featured prominently in the storyline.

When she did speak, they were well inside Warlock's retreat, far away from the many citizens of the station who were waiting outside to talk with him.

 THANOS
Thanos feared to acquire Warlock's gem directly because it possessed the power to steal souls, and he feared to risk forfeiting his own.
Observing him, Thanos learned that Warlock had diverged a temporal counterpart named the magus, who was the head of a galaxywide religious empire and would certainly oppose Thanos's schemes of stellar destruction were he to learn of them.
Warlock had by this time learned of Thanos's threat and traveled to Earth to enlist the aid of the Avengers and Captain Mar-Vell.

Adam Warlock is an artificial being, a prototype of “Him” who gained intelligence and rebelled against his creators.
Warlock is selling for between $7.50 and $16.50, which should be MUCH higher, and would be if they made a better clix.
For Adam though, by the time he reaches willpower, his stats are so low it’s almost useless.

 Recycling Bin 01 - Evil Future Selves (1998)
During Starlin's run on the titles which enclosed the definitive Warlock saga, Adam pursues a rapacious universal church and discovers that it was created by an evil being called the Magus.
The Magus, it turns out, was the future self of none other than Adam Warlock himself, gone mad and amoral sometime in the future, and returned to the past, where he has had thousands of years to prepare his Evil Master Plan.
Adam, noble unto nihilism, therefore destroys the Magus' evil master plan by doing himself in (so that no future version of himself can exist to become the Magus).

 Don Markstein's Toonopedia: Warlock
But one of their big names, Warlock, who held down a couple of critically acclaimed series in the 1970s and still looms large in Marvel Universe history, didn't even have a name when Lee and Kirby introduced him.
In Fantastic Four #66 (November, 1966), Lee and Kirby pitted their superheroes against a secret enclave of scientists (called The Enclave) engaged in military research — trying to produce artificial men who would be invincible in battle and unscrupulous in obeying their destructive orders, whom they could mass-produce.
Warlock's first major enemy was a guy named Thanos (derived from the Greek word for "death"), whose goal was to kill every living thing in the Universe.

 TheFourthRail.com - Snap Judgments   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
Pak's story goes back to the origin of Adam Warlock, before he was a cosmic savior and when he was sort of a '70s version of Frankenstein's Monster, a "perfect being" created by a group of self-appointed geniuses for nebulous goals.
He has to provide the redesign for Warlock that will have this profound impact, that is the visual representation of this genius designer's imagination.
His new design for Adam Warlock is more modern than the '70s version, but it's ultimately just another superhero outfit, which drains some of the power away from the words Pak has put in the characters' mouths.
