Adam Warlock, originally known as “Him” or Adam, is a fictional character in American comic books. The character first appeared in Fantastic Four #66–67 and Thor #163–166. Adam Warlock is created by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby and developed by Roy Thomas and Jim Starlin.
Warlock was the result of an experiment by scientists called the Enclave. They wanted to create an invincible human. However, his conscience became aware of this and he tried to conquer the world with his army. When he received his immense cosmic powers he immediately rebelled against the scientists, whom he considered evil. In the process, he wiped out the Enclave and their lab complex.
