Until now, Warlock’s only appearance outside of the comics was in the 1990s X-Men animated series.
Whether he’s created through motion capture, CGI or even practical effects, it’s all but certain that New Mutants’ Warlock will be one of the most visually distinctive characters the X-Men film series has ever seen.
Despite initially being considered a threat, Warlock proved to the X-Men that he wasn’t dangerous to them, and he was soon drafted into the New Mutants.
Introduced in 1984’s New Mutants #18, Warlock is a member of the Technarchy, who survive by infecting beings with a “techno-organic” virus so that they can absorb their victims’ life force.
