  • Unearthly Soul Absorption, which means that the gem can literally absorb a victim’s mind. The victim’s mind be comes a resident of a pocket dimension where everything is peaceful and tranquil. Warlock can access the memories of any soul trapped within the gem.

History:
Adam Warlock was the creation of four Earth scientists called the Enclave. He was the prototype for a perfect human, that would become the Enclave’s perfect soldier. “Him,” as Warlock was then known, rejected the Enclave’s goals and fled into our space, where he encountered the High Evolutionary on Counter-Earth. The High Evolutionary gave Him the soul-gem and named him Adam Warlock; Warlock defeated the Evolutionary’s renegade creation, the Man-Beast and then left to wander the universe, to battle the forces of evil.

While traveling through the Hercules star cluster later, Warlock encountered the Universal Church of Truth, a rapidly spreading religious empire. Warlock discovered that the Church’s leader, the Magus, was really himself from an alternate future. While the Magus sought to ensure his eventual creation, Warlock and Thanos united to prevent the Magus from becoming. Warlock eventually absorbed the Magus into the soul-gem, and prevented his creation.

After that, Thanos began to gather the gems together to sacrifice the stars to Death. Part of his plan involved the death of Warlock, who was living within the soul-gem. But the energies released by Warlock’s death and the power of the soul-gem itself, combined to resurrect Warlock, and Warlock turned Thanos in to stone. Warlock then retreated back to the soul-gem.

Recently, Death resurrected Thanos, and when Thanos hurled the Silver Surfer and Drax the Destroyer into the soul-gem, Warlock helped them escape, and then emerged himself. During the Infinity Gauntlet crisis, Warlock gained control of the Gauntlet and the ultimate power that went with it, but tired of the burden of omnipotence and gave the gems to others. He kept the soul-gem, “his old friend,” for himself.
