Spoilers for Warlock: Rebirth by Marvel ComicsMarvel Comics is introducing Adam Warlock's most powerful counterpart yet, as Eve Warlock will debut in an comic miniseries. In a new preview for Warlock: Rebirth from Marvel Comics, Warlock will come face-to-face with Eve, who is an even stronger version of himself - and she is coming to steal his power and take the Soul Stone from the cosmic hero.
In a new preview for Warlock: Rebirth #1 & #2 by Ron Marz and Ron Lim, Adam Warlock will learn that during his creation to be the "perfect specimen" in the Marvel Universe, another was created alongside him. In the miniseries, which will explore a part of Adam Warlock's never-before-seen origin, Eve Warlock will make her first appearance. However, Eve will be a foe, not a friend, as the "stronger, smarter, and faster" evolution of Warlock will try to strip Adam of his powers and take the Soul Gem for herself.
Eve Warlock Is The Next Evolution of Adam Warlock
While Eve Warlock is a new character, Adam Warlock has had a direct counterpart in the Marvel Universe before. After the Enclave created Adam Warlock, they later repeated the process, leading to the creation of Paragon (also known as Kismet). While Adam Warlock was "Him," Paragon was known as "Her." Paragon possessed incredible cosmic powers like Warlock, but unlike Him, Her wasn't in possession of the Soul Stone. The hero made her MCU debut in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 as Ayesha, where she was played by Elizabeth Debicki and had her backstory and role changed significantly.
The text preview for Warlock: Rebirth teases the arrival of Eve Warlock, as she is coming after the hero and is attempting to steal the Soul Stone from him. The cover art from Ron Lim (seen above) features Eve Warlock holding onto Adam's neck as Gamora and Pip The Troll watch on in horror.
Before he jetted off to space, Adam Warlock was artificially created by scientists on Earth to be the “perfect specimen.” What fans will shockingly discover is that as Adam went on to wield the Infinity Gems and play key roles in epics like Infinity Gauntlet and Infinity Watch, another specimen was created—someone stronger, faster and smarter than Adam himself! Meet EVE WARLOCK, the next evolution of Warlock! She’s come to strip Adam of all his power, starting with the Soul Gem!
Ron Marz and Ron Lim are masters of all things cosmic in the Marvel Universe, last working together on Silver Surfer: Rebirth, so seeing the creators work together in a new miniseries starring Adam Warlock is incredibly exciting. However, the questions remain: Is Eve Warlock a character readers have met before, and is her secret origin about to change Adam's backstory in a significant way? Readers will get more answers when Warlock: Rebirth #1 arrives in comic book stores on April 19, 2022, while Warlock: Rebirth #2 releases on May 24, 2022.
