Ron Marz and Ron Lim's upcoming Marvel miniseries will introduce a female version of Adam Warlock, Eve, who is even more powerful than her counterpart.

Marvel revealed Warlock: Rebirth #1 -- written by Marz and featuring art and cover art by Lim -- will mark the debut of Eve Warlock, an ultra-powerful version of Adam who will attempt to steal his Soul Gem. Marvel said of the new character, "Before he jetted off to space, Adam Warlock was artificially created by scientists on Earth to be the “perfect specimen.” What fans will shockingly discover is that as Adam went on to wield the Infinity Gems and play key roles in epics like Infinity Gauntlet and Infinity Watch, another specimen was created—someone stronger, faster and smarter than Adam himself! Meet EVE WARLOCK, the next evolution of Warlock! She’s come to strip Adam of all his power, starting with the Soul Gem!"

Adam Warlock's New Series Will Explore Marvel's Cosmic Universe

Warlock: Rebirth was initially announced by Marvel in Dec. 2022 as a five-issue miniseries exploring the origin of Adam Warlock -- a character created by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby who was originally named "Him" and first appeared in 1967's Fantastic Four #66 before Roy Thomas and Gil Kane revamped the character in 1972's Marvel Premiere #1 -- accessible to both long-time fans and newcomers. Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, which is scheduled to release May 5, 2023, will also mark the live-action debut of the character portrayed by Will Poulter.

Marz said when Warlock: Rebirth was first announced, "Ron and I had such a great time on our Surfer series, accepting the invitation to come back and do more was a no-brainer. The cosmic end of the Marvel Universe is a wonderful playground, and we’ve got some great toys, including Gamora and Pip and Doctor Strange. There are definitely some sequel threads to what we did in Silver Surfer: Rebirth, but we’re making sure this Warlock series stands on its own. Who knows, maybe a shiny guy on a surfboard will show up too.”"

Warlock: Rebirth #1 features variant cover art by Jim Cheung, Lim, Alan Davis and Alex Ross. The issue releases April 19, 2023, from Marvel. Warlock: Rebirth #2 follows on May 24, 2023.
