Warlock was captured and was forced to join the Man-Beast's side or be killed. The group traveled to the city, and were tricked by the Man-Beast (disguised as a prophet) into finding his lair. Warlock faced off against Rhodan, and ended up returning him to his original form. Following Warlock's arrival, Kohbra located him for the Man-Beast, and sent Rhodan after him. Ellie gave him the name 'Adam,' because she thought he needed two names instead of one, as it was on their planet. Warlock met four teenagers, David Carter, Jason Grey, Eddie Roberts, and Ellie Roberts. Counter-Earth had been an attempt to create a Utopian society, and it had been so till the evil Man-Beast, a renegade creation of the High Evolutionary, had corrupted it the Man-Beast was to become Warlock's greatest enemy. Soon afterwards, Warlock journeyed to the planet called Counter-Earth, one of the High Evolutionary's experiments, that had recently been contaminated. The High Evolutionary gave Warlock purpose, direction, and the vampiric Soul Gem. Upon his rebirth, 'Him' was renamed as Warlock by the High Evolutionary, who became a guiding force in the life of the reborn Godling.

'Him' promptly retreated to the safety of a regenerative cocoon and thus was later reborn. (This act would be repeated in a more benign, but no less infuriating, fashion by his gene-sister 'Her,' now known as Kismet.) Thor naturally took offense to this kidnapping, and promptly beat the young Godling near to death. He promptly encountered Thor, and attempted the abduction of the Lady Sif in order to mate with her. Unfortunately for 'Him,' he was a being with no life experience due to his unique conception.

He lashed out, damaging the complex and injuring his 'fathers,' and promptly escaped. The creature whom they had created, then known only as 'Him,' emerged-and immediately sensed, upon his emergence, that his creators sought to use him for evil ends. Fortunately for the denizens of Earth, the new being was a creature beyond the control of his creators. Warlock was created by the group of researchers who called themselves the ' Enclave.' The goal of the researchers was to create the perfect human being, the pinnacle of future human evolution.
