Adam Warlock’s cocoon explained
In Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 3, the High Evolutionary and High Priestess Ayesha explained to the audience that Adam Warlock was conceived within a cocoon and removed too early, which is why his intelligence appears to be limited in the movie.
In Marvel Comics, Adam Warlock is a genetically-engineered being created by the Enclave and he was born within a regenerative cocoon.
Whenever Warlock gets injured in the comics, he returns to this cocoon in order to heal himself, however, the cocoon did not make an appearance in Volume 3, only in the post-credits scene for Volume 2 was Warlock’s cocoon seen and looked like a sort of sarcophagus.
Adam Warlock’s first Marvel Comics appearance
Adam Warlock first appeared in Fantastic Four #66 in June 1967, referred to only as Him, and then appeared as Warlock for the first time in Marvel Premiere #1 in April 1972.
The character was created by Marvel legends Stan Lee, writer Jim Starlin, and Jack Kirby and the character’s inception came from a discussion between Kirby and Steve Ditko about the Ojectivism ideology.
Previously known only as Him, Roy Thomas gave Adam Warlock his name after writing a number of solo stories for the character.
