This should be interesting.

I'm starting to think my allegory wasn't as subtle as I thought....

//Adam didn't get a swimsuit skin. This is what they took from you.

//this was a fun short read. Even if you arent that familiar with Adam or the Infinity Watch, I recommend it if you wanna kill a half hour or so.

Seriously. I don't know. I've never wanted an afro before. I don't know why turning evil would make me want one.

No....I refuse to lose myself. I am not the Magus. I will never be the Magus....if I must return, it will be as Adam Warlock!

More memories....his replacement, Eve. Was she still alive? Surely he wouldn't be needed if she were....had she found the Evolutionary yet? Did she have the same darkness in her? Or had she found her own life on some far off world? Her own Counter Earth to protect.

Through the pain, as he reformed, memories filled his mind. Memories of Counter Earth, the Man Beast, the Infinity Gauntlet, and his own future seld, the Magus. Did he even want to come back? Each time he returned, he risked returning as his evil future self. Would this be it?

We do a little trolling....

Adam....did you think you were rid of me? You cannot run from the future. I am your destiny. Stop fighting. Embrace it. Its not so bad. You'll have a lot more fun....

He sat on the sand and looked at his hand. Brilliant red blood covered it.

"He is one of my oldest foes. Made by the High Evolutionary. I had thought him vanquished...."

Can...can I get a better lawyer? Preferably one with a mouth....

#KnullReturns

Although he couldn't get Galactus' help, he had one more stop before he returned to Earth. Not a favor, but an object....the one that allowed him to defend Counter-Earth from the Manbeast....

BORN AGAIN!!!

I was once called HIM. Once the guardian of Counter Earth. I am Warlock. But you can just call me Adam.
