Adam Warlock is the first warrior in the history of his peaceful planet. Warlock volunteered to be programmed in the arts of war and to wear the Soul Gem, a strange jewel that would give him great physical and mental power in order to combat an invading Kree warrior task force. Warlock defeated the Kree and sent them fleeing from his world-but at a cost to himself. Now Adam Warlock lives in exile from his people, for they will not allow him to rejoin their peaceful society because of his capacity for violence and his ability in combat. He now travels the galaxy using his power to combat the forces of evil!
