Magus?
Chris Isaac
not that well up in the cosmic side of the MU. Does he have some sort of
connection to Adam Warlock?

Ah, one of my fav bad guys. I have a bio of him at
http://www.geocities.com/marvel_villain/magus/magus.html
This might be a good time to mention that Bring on the Bad Guys: The Villains
of Marvel Comics is moving from its old home at www.sigma.net/burch to its
new home, http://www.geocities.com/marvel_villains . The move is still in
progress (I had totally forgotten how BIG that site was!) so not all the
links work, but most of the pertinant info is available.

I'm not familiar with the particular comic you're refering to, but the Magus
*I* know was a techno-organic alien. His son was also a techno-organic
being called Warlock who was a New Mutant. I don't know why they gave the
character such a misleading name (trademark?) - neither of them are magical
in anyway.
On their planet, sons must kill their fathers to become fully mature.
Warlock was too frightened to fight his father and ran away. Magus showed
up and duked it out with the X-Men and New Mutants a few times.
The Magus is a pretty powerful guy - he once ripped a star in two and tossed
half of it at his wayward son. His entry in the OHOTMU says he hasn't
interfered with Earth more prominently since he's unsure how other powerful
beings like Zeus, Odin, Watcher, etc, etc. would take it.

incarnation of Adam Warlock rather than the New Mutants techno-organic being of
the same name.

Someone probably answered it but, the Magus is Warlock. Actually he is the
Warlock-that-would-have-been had he kept on the same time stream he was
headed. Long story.

Actually you are both correct. There is the Magus, who is the Warlock of an
alternate future. There is also the Magus who is the father of Warlock the
techno-organic alien.

Crap, I'd completely forgotten about ol' Silver Afro Man - that makes a lot
more sense. The obvious question is WTF did Marvel make two pairs of
characters with the same name like that?

And one that needs reprinting. I have a Marvel Premiere (or something
like that) that recounted the Warlock story and ended with the chick
asking for help fighting the Magus after she died, and thought that was
really cool. Starlin back before everyone was built like the Hulk.
I'd love to see the end of that. I may have to bite the bullet and pay
out the nose to people that want to exploit me for it.

Warlock and Magus were named as a homage to Adam Warlock and his alter
ego, both of which characters were meant to be dead at the time.

He's the dark side of Adam Warlock, basically. These days, he seems to
kind of an all-purpose term for Adam Warlock in any timeline where
he's gone bad.

It's been collected several times. I've got six double-sized Warlock
Special Edition issues that came out quite a while ago (they make reference
to the 'recently released' Death of Captain Marvel GN) - slick paper, no
ads, that starts with the "chick asking for help" and ends with the Marvel
Two-in-One Annual with the death of Thanos. There's also fill-in material
to explain the issues not included. Very nice.
I know it's be recollected at least once since then. I don't recall the
title, but it was probably just "Warlock".

out of himself with his goodside as well when he had the Infinity Gauntlet.
He was featured in the Infinity War and since I have had no reason to buy
that series I don't know what happened to him.

interesting to get a certain new x-men writer of Scottish descent who's well
known for crazy, off-the-wall ideas to have a go at Adam Warlock:) I would have
thought the whole cosmic mish-mash that is Adam would have appealed to him!
