With a wacky design and a strange walk, Warlock certainly made an odd landing into the Contest. But before that, he made a stranger one onto Earth. Originating from Kvch, Warlock is a Technarch with a father to rule it all, which seems cool from an outside perspective until you look closer. See the children of these ‘techno-organic’ lives would have to slay their parents to prove their worth and seeing as Warlock’s father was the head honcho...well, he was very strong and it was a big deal come the day it was meant to happen. However, Warlock didn’t want to do it. This caused him to be different and he noticed that only to have it mark him as a Mutant to his race. This struck fear within him so he fled the planet.
Warlock crashed through Magento’s base and landed near Xavier’s mansion only to sense the artificial intelligence that laid within it. However, rather than making friends with these other mutants--the tall techno-organic immediately clashed with these New Mutants. Unfortunately for Warlock he was near death after all of this and it took another young New Mutant (Cypher) to communicate with him to determine that he wasn’t a threat. It was after this that Warlock became part of the team, proving to be a useful ally to the New Mutants and remained by their side throughout his time on Earth.
However, his father Magus was never far behind him.
I’m going to be honest, y’all. I really had no idea who Warlock was prior to us introducing him into our game but I went back and did some digging to find out. His design is actually pretty cool and his story is very intriguing. I wanna hear y’all’s thoughts on him!
Did you guys know about Warlock prior to the game adding him? What are your thoughts on him being part of New Mutants? What about New Mutants as a whole? Their concept as a team is so jarring and cool, isn’t it?

I am really glad you guys introduced him into the game. While at some point, if a licensed game lasts long enough, a developer will start dipping into lesser-known characters, it's still nice to see it when it happens.
I like games that have a mix of old and recent, popular and lesser-known.
Recognizing that Kabam is always going to have some movie versions in MCoC, I am glad that some of my old favorites like Havok, as well as a more recent favorite in Sentry, have made it into the game.
You guys did great with Sunspot and it appears Warlock will be represented well with his canonical power set. That's all I can ask, really.
Sunspot was new to me ..
New Mutants was a title I collected from the outset. It was refreshing to see “kids” struggling with their powers as well as typical issues related to growing up. The team was diverse, the writing was crisp and as an X-Men fan, it was a perfect complement to my usual monthly mutant fare.

I loved Sunspot in X-Force and much later in Avengers World and US Avengers. Kinda disappointed you went with his suited'n'booted look from US Avengers rather than one of his superhero costumes.
Hey, speaking of Deadpool, how about Deadlock? Warpool? Mr. Deadlock Warpool?
The Kabam version is far superior.
No!
Noooooooooo!
😉
Him, I could get behind...
I am glad that Kabam realizes that ultimately, this is a game. The mashups and Howard the Duck, Warlock...it's still supposed to be fun. There is absolutely room for quirky characters, IMO
I also wholeheartedly agree with all preceding comments complimenting this form of character introduction. Great work, Darth Vydious.
I always laugh because Marvel could literally call the book "New Mutants" because there were such a relative few, still, back then.
It's a fun reminder to the era where the X-Men were clearly the biggest property in comics.
Question: When will Warlock be available in crystals?
There already was a famous Warlock.
Why do that? Why? There are a billion other names.
