Warlock (1972 - 1976)
- Sculptor of worlds! Is it your voice I hear? If so, then speak ... and Warlock shall heed!
- To the High Evolutionary, No. 1 (August 1972)
- You have not called me here merely to praise yourself. Then why have you done so ... when there are things I must do on the planet you created?
- To the High Evolutionary, in No. 1 (August 1972)
- The way ahead is long ... and dangerous. I'll have no one with me who doesn't want to come.

The Infinity Gauntlet (1991)
- Written by Jim Starlin
- In my time many called me Adam Warlock. You may do so also, if you feel so inclined.
- As he interrupts a battle between Doctor Doom and Doctor Strange, in Issue 2 : From Bad to Worse
- There are forces at work you do not perceive. I weave a delicate strategy which rash actions could rend. Patience, please.
- To Doctor Doom, as the gathered heroes prepare to confront Thanos, in Issue 3: Preparations for War.
- Naked power is seldom the answer to any problem. Surely you must know that even this group's combined might is nothing compared to the force Thanos wields. Only a richly complex and skillfully executed strategy will insure your survival. Time is short and I have such a plan.
- In a short while, we confront Thanos, a being of unimaginable power whose sole goal is the destruction of all life. … Extreme measures may be called for in dealing with him. You and the Hulk have an outlook on death the others do not share … except for Doom, but he cannot be trusted.
- Privately, to Wolverine and the Hulk, instructing them that if they get any opportunity, to kill Thanos without hesitation, in Issue 3: Preparations for War.
- We tried to do this the easy way — and we failed. Now begins the conflict I strove to avoid. It may well prove to be a battle the Universe cannot survive! Eternity, it is now your turn.
- In Issue 4 : Cosmic Battle on the Edge of the Universe
- I was part of the Soul Gem while you possessed it, which permitted me access to your inner heart. I know you as no other being in the universe does, better than even you do, yourself.
- Let the conflict END!
- As he reveals himself possessing the Infinity Gauntlet, after it is lost first by Thanos and then Nebula, in Issue 6 : The Final Confrontation
- I am now The Supreme Being, seek not to dispute that claim.
- To Thanos and the gathered heroes and villains who had sought the Infinity Gauntlet, in Issue 6 : The Final Confrontation
- Already, the distance between what I was and am is insurmountable — like an ant contemplating the Cosmos.
I knew it would be so … yet still I hoped.
I guess there is really nothing left to say.
- To the final three super-heroes he allows to remain in his presence after obtaining the Infinity Gauntlet, who want him to surrender it: the Silver Surfer, Thor, and Doctor Strange, in Issue 6 : The Final Confrontation
- I begin a journey mapped out amidst the stars. 'Tis a path I cannot stray from —
- As he goes to visit the defeated Thanos, in Issue 6 : The Final Confrontation
- Time is a repeating loop to me now.
- To Gamora and Pip the Troll, in Issue 6 : The Final Confrontation
