Origin of Adam Warlock

Like so many Marvel characters in space, Adam Warlock was originally created by Stanley and Jack Kirby on the Fantastic Four page (especially in 1967, Nos. 66-67). But at that time he was simply called “he”. Writers such as Roy Thomas and Jim Starlin really got the character from Warlock’s backstory and their ongoing role at Marvel U. Fleshing. In these early stories, Warlock was treated as the Messiah’s Messiah, and Thomas was greatly inspired by the musical Jesus Christ Superstar.

Stalin in particular played a major role in shaping the character. It was he who linked the character to the soul gem and established a continuous rivalry between Warlock and the fanatical Universal Truth Church, led by Warlock’s crazy future self, Magus. Stalin killed the character when Warlock moved forward in time and exhausted his soul to prevent him from becoming a sorcerer. Warlock eventually returned, followed by several different incarnations of Magus.
