    Totally understandable. I have a hard time keeping all the various Spider-Women and Scarcrows straight.

    Not to mention the Iron Men, Spider-Men, Captain Americas, Thors, Ms Marvels and Captain Marvels.

    Thank God DC has never had problems like that!

    Plus there was this series from the 1970s. I've got a few issues of it in my collection:

    Really? It's Adam Warlock. He's a long time "Marvel cosmic" character and an associate member (if that's a thing) of the Guardians of the Galaxy.

    I can understand not knowing Adam Warlock. I know who he is, but he is a bit niche. Sure, he was a cult hit in the 70s, but was also off the board for a long time. And if you didn't read Infinity Gauntlet or some of the related series or minis that followed in the '90s, he was easy to miss.

    Heck, I've been reading Marvel since the early 80s, and I know I read Infinity Gauntlet when it came out, and was reading Silver Surfer at the time, and I don't think I can remember a single scene that Warlock was in. I recognize him, but I don't really remember his "voice" if you know what i mean. I remember what Thanos was like from IG, but Warlock didn't leave a big impression on me. I mostly thought of him as "that 70s cosmic character". Since then I've learned that he made a big impression in his initial time, but when I was getting to know the Marvel Universe in the 80s, he didn't seem to be getting referenced very much.

    And for the uninitiated, Warlock first appeared 'way back when in this issue of the FF... when he was known simply as "Him"...

    ...and then went on to have a brief altercation with Thor...

    There's a very good chance that more people will learn about Adam Warlock in the coming years, if there's any veracity to this report.

    Man. Those are two guys who must do a LOT of squat lifts together. It's funny how the exaggerated muscularity of many (most?) superheroes really comes through when they are in statue form.

    LOL! Ah, okay. I was thinking he was kind of a known quantity, esp. given the renewed GotG interest, but wasn't sure.

    Yes, I found it hard to believe that the guy who hosts the world renowned Resurrections - An Adam Warlock and Thanos Podcast would not know who Adam Warlock is.

    Sure is! It was originally a podcast focusing on Warlock but he's now included Thanos.
