Gamora and Adam Warlock

Given the curious events both characters have experienced in the last few years, the pair try to catch up.

I'm more a DC fan than Marvel, but i was a fan of Adam Warlock and Gamora since the 1991 event story 'The Infinity Gauntlet' introduced me to them ( writer Jim Starlin is pretty much the definitive writer of Adam Warlock/Thanos/Gamora in my opinion ).

Adam Warlock was one of Marvels higher powered ( within 'Thor' level ) characters, originally believing himself to be an artificial creation, he later discovered he was a far older being who had repeatedly gone through various deaths and rebirths resulting in slightly altered appearances with each incarnation ( in a manner that almost makes him Marvels version of Dr Who without the time traveling ). He is also much more intellectual and contemplative than many heroes, with a cunning even arch schemer Thanos respects.

The adopted daughter of Thanos, the formidable alien assassin Gamora was one of Adam Warlocks main companions for years ( from the late 1970's to the mid 2000's ), and seemed quite taken with him ( as Thanos himself pointed out at one point to Gamora ) until eventually the decidedly slow on the uptake Warlock realised his own affections towards her ( seriously it took an age ). Gamora's limits haven't really been placed as far as i know but while not quite as strong as characters like She-Hulk, Gamora has proven able to take down such characters with considerable ease, is versed in a variety of weapons and she can regenerate injuries.

I'll freely admit i now have so much less familiarity with the characters since the 2006 'Annihilation' story seemed to ignore/skip their previous continuity, ( Gamora ditching Adam Warlock when he finally returned her affections seemed a little out of character to me ) and i kind of lost interest so i probably missed out on the explanations in the comics, either that or i missed out on more things that would have annoyed me.

Of course the revised version of Gamora is now set to appear in Guardians of the Galaxy movie, and Adam Warlock looks set to be left alone.


I've made up Adam Warlocks outfit, although it looks about right, while i've used one of Gamoras older outfits. I've tried a flatter colour approach with this picture.
