[Marvel] What's the deal with Adam Warlock?

OK, so I am reading the infinity gauntlet and infinity wars. Adam Warlock seems to know about everyone and everything, he's distant but not aloof, subtle but not brazen.

Who or what is Adam Warlock?

Adam Warlock was originally created as a genetically perfect, artificial human by Aim. He was a bit savage a first and battled Thor in his first appearance.

He left Earth and went on a bit of a cosmic wander. He met up with the High Evolutionary, who took a shine to him (think he liked his genetics), and gave him the soul gem. The High Evolutionary was experimenting with Counter-Earth, a planet identical to Earth that he had created as an experiment. The humans on CE had been corrupted by evil, so he sent Warlock to sort it out. Warlock was killed on Counter Earth, but was able to resurrect himself, and became a sort of Christ-like figure to Counter-Earth humans.

He became aware of a future version of himself, called Magus. Magus was from a future where a huge galaxy wide church had formed around Warlock's messiahdom, but the power had corrupted Warlock and he had become evil. Warlock had to do some cosmic tinkering to make sure this future never came to pass (although Magus is usually still ratlling around in his soul somewhere).

Eventually, he left this mortal plane, and let his soul be absorbed into the soul gem. Inside the soul gem is soul-world, where he lived in peace with the other souls who had been absorbed over the years (including Gamora and Pip the Troll). Inside soul-world, he gained a lot of insight into how the universe worked and became very spiritual.

When Thanos originally collected the Infinity Gems together, he battled Silver Surfer, and stole his soul. Surfer's soul ended up in soul world, where he warned Adam Warlock of Thanos's return. Warlock freed Surfer's soul, and eventually decided that he had to go back to the real world to battle Thanos himself (which is where he comes in at the beginning of Infinity Gauntlet)
