Thanos appearances post Secret Wars- Infinity Wars (2018) #3

The elf’s smile was sustained as he nodded, understanding Adam’s explanation to a degree. “No doubt this is far from your intended destination, then,” he agreed, his hands moving to rest comfortably in the folds of his robe. “And no, this is not Quel’Thalas, either. Strictly speaking that nation hasn’t existed for twenty or so years now, but you stand in the neutral city of Dalaran, floating above the wastes of Northrend. The world is Azeroth.”

[quantummagician]

“I see. I’m sorry to hear that.” If Quel’Thalas was where he was from, then he’d in effect lost his home if it didn’t exist anymore. “I have never heard of a planet named Azeroth.” Tilting his head slightly, Adam regarded Valmiel, “Forgive me if I am too forward, but what is your species? I must be quite strange to you.” Adam touched his ear with a slight smile.

“I don’t suppose you’ve figured out I have a rather strong dislike for magic so couldn’t give a shit.”

[quantummagician]

“There’s no harm in asking. Though I am curious as to why you have a strong dislike, as you put it. Was Merlin truly that bad?”

[belorezaram-deactivated20220202]

Valmiel frowned, his head tipping as he gave the newcomer a more thorough inspection. The shift brought a soft tinkling sound; one ear had been pierced in several places along its underside, and a chain connected small rings in each hole with small jewels and tiny bells decorating it. “Forgive me, but did you say your name is Warlock?” That perplexed him – he knew of many of his kin in the coven who’d taken new names upon their training, things that reflected their new identity. Felheart. Blackflame. Ebonsoul.

Just calling oneself ‘Warlock’ seemed almost silly, to Valmiel. In any case, he went on. “Opening portals to other dimensions is no easy feat. Stronger men have died in the attempt.”

But a small smile blossoms on his face, and he shakes his head a bit. “But I’m being terribly rude. I am called Valmiel el’Aran Starshatter, Demonologist of Quel’Thalas and soldier for the Horde. Tal anu'men.” He gave a small bow, his hands flicking his robes and setting the metallic elements to clinking.

[quantummagician]

Nodding his head in acknowledgement, Adam smiled slightly. He didn’t know half the things that were mentioned, but demonologist seemed self explanatory. “A pleasure to meet you Valmiel el’Aran Shatterstar. And yes, my name is Warlock, but most just call me Adam. Dimension crossing is a skill I recently acquired, thus I am... somewhat inept at it still.” Adam shrugged lightly and looked around the area. “May I ask the name of the place I have found myself in? Is it the Quel’Thalas that you mentioned?”

Other than the energy he could feel, the area didn’t look so different from any other planet he’d been on. It looked very similar to Earth actually, making Adam wonder if this was Earth’s equivalent in this dimension.

      “Adam … no one enjoys a backseat driver.”

[quantummagician]

“It’s a reasonable request. We need the ship after all.”

[directorsnarrative]

I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.

As expected, the man had no grasp of Thalassian. Few humans went to the effort, even though neither it nor Darnassian had strayed far from the root language for which the Sin’dorei named their dialect. Human tongues weren’t made for such a musical, tonal language, though a few Valmiel had met had at least a working understanding.

Shifting, green eyes giving an ethereal glimmer as he tipped his hood back enough to reveal a youthful, patient face, Valmiel tried a different tack. “You seem lost, traveler,” he spoke slowly, his accent quite thick around the Common tongue.

[quantummagician]

“Yes, I seem to have... taken a wrong turn.” Whenever Adam experienced a life shattering event, by nearly dying, going mad from psychic pain, or actually dying, there was always something new about him when he came back. Trying to test these new limits and abilities was an adventure that sometimes didn’t go quite as he expected. Ending up in an unfamiliar dimension was practically par the course.

“I was trying to cross over to a different dimension,” Adam explained calmly, “and ended up here. While it is certainly a different one, it wasn’t my intended destination.” This being didn’t seem hostile, and he did need to get information at least before he tried to get back to his home. Adam always loved to find new knowledge, and this place seemed like something he’d enjoy to explore. 

“I am Adam Warlock,” Adam inclined his head, “and you are...?”

Thanos- The Infinity Revelation (2014)

A.K.A. That time Thanos called Adam Warlock a dandy.

[quantummagician]

“Well, that seemed like a wasted effort.”

[belorezaram-deactivated20220202]

The man was tall, and Valmiel, though short for his race, found he could actually look this golden human in the eye. In appearance he could have easily passed for Sin’dorei, with the ruddy golden skin and the powerful countenance, but the eyes were wrong and the rest was essentially human, leaving the young warlock feeling unsettled and wary. For the moment the hood of his cloak was pulled up, though the thick plait of golden hair hung over his shoulder marring the general black-and-violet aspect of his robes.

“Anaria shola, malanore,” he uttered in his native language, knowing there was a slim chance the man would understand him.

[quantummagician]

Usually, Adam didn’t have any trouble with languages, being a cosmically aware being. It was easy for him to understand and be understood by others. So encountering a language he didn’t immediately recognize or understand was definitely an interesting experience. “I apologize, I don’t understand you.” Adam tried to convey that in his tone, just in case the other didn’t understand him either.

“Well, now, isn’t it Strange’s little Witch-Boy from Earth!”

“You should run back to your Master, child.”

[quantummagician]

@belorezaram

"..." Adam blinks bemusedly at who he ended up crossing paths with. He wasn't the strangest being Adam had ever encountered, but the energy he was giving off was decidedly... different. 

“Hello?”

“Merlin’s a prick. Couldn’t give a shit if you were carbon copies of each other, if that’s what you’re looking for. Go find the old fart.”

[quantummagician]

“I wasn’t looking for that. I wished to understand my own abilities a bit more, but if he’s as indifferent as you imply, I suppose my quest would be fruitless.”

“I don’t suppose you know any other magic users with an inherent ability for magic?”

[xgamora]

      “Hope you like your landings rough, hot         and potentially life threatening.”

[quantummagician]

“Gamora, please do not crash the ship!”

“There’s a chance, a silm chance, I’m the wrong Braddock and wrong 13 member for this but go on…”

[quantummagician]

“It is not so complicated, my friend. I was simply wondering if my magic was anything like Merlins...”

[kissmyringbuddy-blog]

“I can’t say that I was. It sounds complicated, though. Really complicated.”

[quantummagician]

“It was. I am usually more cognizant of such happenings, but it seems that falls to my counterpart this time.” 

[kissmyringbuddy-blog]

“I’m good, but what events are you talking about?”

[quantummagician]

“I’m not entirely certain. There was a cosmic imbalance, but it has since been corrected I believe. I was involved, as was an alternate of me and an... old friend. Were you aware of it?”
