"Prior to his later resurrections from the Annihilation Wave, Adam possessed many of the same powers he currently does. However, much of their capabilities differs from his current incarnations and has lost abilities that came from the Soul Gem.\n* Matter Manipulation: The Soul Gem augmented his matter manipulation capabilities to the point of being able to de-evolve the New Men created by Man Beast and repair structures to their original state.\n* Master of All Souls: From the Soul Gem came many mystical powers and capabilities in which augmented Adam's Mysticism to the point Silver Surfer claimed it made Adam the \"Master of All Souls\". This infinity gem enabled Adam to even challenge the likes of Mephisto within his own realm.\n* Follower Augmentation: During his adventures on Counter-Earth, the High Evolutionary noted that as more people followed behind and admired him as their hero, he gained power from their faith within him.\n** Linguistics: With the power of the Soul Gem, Adam was able to understand any being, no matter the language due to the Soul Gem bonding the souls.\n** Soul \"Suck\": Adam is able to employ the Soul Gem to absorb one's soul into it. He is able to gain whatever knowledge of the person he absorbs into the Soul Gem. Adam's proficiency with this ability is great enough for him even to be able to suck the soul of hundred of individuals within seconds and Thanosi clones; and even Thanos fears this ability. It is believed that only those who have no souls, or are abstract cosmic entities, are unaffected by the attack.\n** Spiritual Communication: Adam is capable of using the Gem to communicate with individuals privately on a spiritual level. At it's max, Adam can even communicate with people in distant futures.\n** Astral Projection: Adam is capable of using the Soul Gem for astral projection.\n** Light Of Truth: With the Soul Gem, Adam can scan its target for a soul, sentience, life, or residual memory. With this ability, he can see through illusions and break mind control. \n** Karmic Blast: A blast invented by Adam which attack and either overload or disrupt the spiritual center, or anima, of an individual. It has been able to knock out the likes of Maxam, the High Evolutionary, and Quasar, and has even been seen affecting cosmic beings such as Star Thief and powerful beings like Mephisto. Thor is the only known individual who has ever successfully resisted the attack; he did so only because he possessed the will of himself and the Valkyries, contrary to the belief that he simply resisted the Soul Gem."^^ . "Former Weaknesses"^^ . "Life Siphoning and Soul Gem Reliance: In the past, even Adam himself admitted to relying on the Soul Gem, in which drained most of his life energy and caused him to rely on it for replenishing his strength and dulled his combat capabilities. Overtime, it seems Warlock has since sharpen his skills."^^ . "Former Weapons"^^ . "Soul Gem: Warlock formerly possessed the Soul Gem, one of the legendary Infinity Gems. This Gem allowed Warlock to drain and control the life essences of living organisms. This gem possessed a consciousness of its own, and displayed a vampiric hunger for the life-essences of living beings. Ironically, the gem is a gateway into a pocket-universe, containing an idyllic, pastoral world where the souls of the beings upon which the gem has fed live in peace. Warlock was so accomplished at the gem's use, that he could use its energies to project energy blasts, protective shields, and blasts of mystic energies capable of disrupting the karmic centers of living beings."^^ . "Former Powers"^^ . "Original Powers:"^^ . "Kinetic Absorption: Nord's primary mutant power was the ability to absorb the energy caused by a kinetic impact. While this power did have limits, Nord could survive a 10 story fall, discharge powerful concussive blasts of energy, and be struck with superhuman force without suffering major injuries."^^ . "Regenerative Healing Factor: Upon joining the Weapon X Program, Nord was artificially granted a slight healing factor by the program similar to the ones possessed by Wolverine and Sabretooth, though far inferior to theirs. As a result, he could fully heal from mild to moderate injuries faster and more extensively than a normal human. This healing factor also made him highly resistant, if not immune, to most diseases and toxins. It also greatly suppressed Nord's natural aging process, causing him to age much slower. However, after contracting the Legacy Virus, Nord burned out his artificial healing factor and his power to absorb the energy of kinetic impact was reduced considerably."^^ . "Further Mutation:"^^ .
