Adam Warlock

"Sculptor of worlds! Is it your voice I hear? If so, then speak ... and Warlock shall heed!"

"You have not called me here merely to praise yourself. Then why have you done so ... when there are things I must do on the planet you created?"

"In my time many called me Adam Warlock. You may do so also, if you feel so inclined."

"Someone told me once … long ago … that men would call me Warlock!"

"Short time?! You fool, its been an eternity! During that time, everything Ive ever cared for or accomplished has fallen into ruin ! Everyone Ive ever loved now lies dead! My life has been a failure! I welcome its end."

"There are forces at work you do not perceive. I weave a delicate strategy which rash actions could rend. Patience, please."

"I begin a journey mapped out amidst the stars. Tis a path I cannot stray from —"

"Naked power is seldom the answer to any problem. Surely you must know that even this groups combined might is nothing compared to the force Thanos wields. Only a richly complex and skillfully executed strategy will insure your survival. Time is short and I have such a plan."

"Already, the distance between what I was and am is insurmountable — like an ant contemplating the Cosmos. I knew it would be so … yet still I hoped. I guess there is really nothing left to say."

"The way ahead is long ... and dangerous. Ill have no one with me who doesnt want to come."

"In a short while, we confront Thanos, a being of unimaginable power whose sole goal is the destruction of all life. … Extreme measures may be called for in dealing with him. You and the Hulk have an outlook on death the others do not share … except for Doom, but he cannot be trusted."

"We tried to do this the easy way — and we failed. Now begins the conflict I strove to avoid. It may well prove to be a battle the Universe cannot survive! Eternity, it is now your turn."
