I was doing a little research on Jack Kirby's MACHINE MAN when I came across the entry on ADAM WARLOCK. There's some discrepancies I should mention; some facts are a bit turned around.
"Warlock's first major enemy was a guy named Thanos (derived from the Greek word for "death"), whose goal was to kill every living thing in the Universe."
Not correct. Warlock's first major enemy was the Man-Beast, an old Thor villain and the big bad guy on the High Evolutionary's Counter-Earth.
"Later, he locked horns with a time-traveling, purple-skinned version of himself from a possible future, called The Magus"
Warlock encountered the Magus first and was later aided in the fight against the Magus by Thanos (previously the main enemy of Captain Mar-Vell). Later, Warlock and Thanos became enemies. Also, I'm not sure that Magus was "purple-skinned". Personally I always assumed it was more of a gray color since he was supposed to be a silver antithesis to Adam's gold color scheme.
"The best of this was orchestrated by cartoonist Jim Starlin, who had co-created Shang-Chi, Master of Kung Fu and would later be responsible for a very well received run on Captain Marvel."
The Captain Marvel run came before Warlock. Thanos was introduced in an issue of IRON MAN before becoming Captain Marvel's major villain in his title.

Thanks. I'll get those corrections made shortly, hopefully today if I can squeeze them in. (My schedule is pretty full.)
