He has appeared in and played a pivotal role in almost all of Marvel Comics' sci-fi/outer space comic book genres.
He has appeared in his own series (several in fact), played a huge role in the entire Infinity Saga and has even reared his head in several Marvel Universe movies.
All indications are that he will play an important part in the net wave of Marvel movies.
But, did you know that he didn’t start out as we know him today?
In issue #66 of the Silver Age Fantastic Four series, by Lee and Kirby, Adam first appeared in a life-cell vat as an engineered super-being created by the scientists, of the Beehive, as a means to save mankind.
In the story the Thing’s girlfriend Alicia is transported to the Beehive’s super-secret location where she is given the task of recreating Adam’s image in clay.
Adam had broken free of his vat and turned on his creators. It was hoped that Alicia could capture his likeness for study.
In route she and her guide are witness to Adam’s incredible power-yet he still remained unseen.
In issue #67 Adam is revealed. In that issue he is only known as Him.
Several years later, Him would transform into Adam Warlock and things would really get interesting!
