In the comics"¦

The history of the Soul Gem in the comics is a pretty complicated one. And that is because, unlike the MCU, there are quite a few characters who have come in contact with it.

The most important one is Adam Warlock, about whom we haven't seen any official hint until now. Of course, there is James Gunn who said this about a hidden Easter Egg in the first Guardians of the Galaxy movie: "Yeah, there's a cocoon that's exactly like Adam Warlock's cocoon. I wasn't really thinking that much when I put that in. That was my idea to put that in there. They're like, "˜What should we put in?' So I went in through the Marvel handbook and just picked cool things that looked neat to put into the boxes. It looked like Adam's Warlock cocoon, so now everyone thinks he's out of there and you know"¦ I don't know."

But that is about all "“ a director being undecided whether or not Adam Warlock exists in the MCU. And it is important, since in the comics the Soul Gem has been quite so many times in the possession of Adam.

Furthermore, as the same director said, he has no plans on actually introducing this one particular character in Vol. II. So where does that leave us?

The answer is revealed on the next page!
