Jack Kirby cover/art; 1st full app of Him (Adam Warlock) (Guardians of the Galaxy 3); 1st Astrologer Royal of Asgard; COMIC BOOK IMPACT rating of 7 (CBI)Thor #165, is the issue that introduces the human form of the mysterious HIM, soon to be known as Adam Warlock, a major player in Marvel's cosmic universe, who will undoubtedly be joining the ranks of the MCU. First appearing in cocooned form in Fantastic Four #66 this "perfect human" emerges from his stasis and quickly draws the ire of the Thunder God by kidnapping his lady, Sif, and absconding with her somewhere across the universe. Thor gives chase, and that is where this classic key leaves off, but Warlock would return to assume a place of eminence amongst the Marvel rogue's gallery, famously in his own title, which was created by the multi-talented Jim Starlin, and later in something called the Infinity War, sound familiar?
