History:

Adam Warlock is a unique alien hybrid replicant (enhanced clone) created in the laboratories of the Enclave, a secret research team sponsored by the US government. The Enclave scientists merged DNA of unknown origin with improved human DNA, experimenting with the creation of super-human soldiers. Warlock was just an experiment and was never intended to survive, or even awake.

But he woke up, demonstrating powers and abilities beyond his creator's wildest dreams, and escaped, destroying much of the secret investigation center. For a year and some months he explored the world and learned at an accelerated pace what most humans take two decades to learn. He settled in New York in the fall of 2000, shortly after mutants were revealed to the world.

Adam found friends and enemies in New York. And after being severely injured by the mutant Emplate, he faced public persecution instigated by the very same people that financed the Enclave. For a time he was the most wanted criminal in the OMA list, and it took much underhanded maneuvering to clean his name. Even now there are people that still believe he is a psychotic killer.
