how powerfull is adam warlock

I know who adam warlock is and i know his backstory and powers but i really dont know quite know how powerfull he is if you could please give a discription of the extent of his powers that would be cool... also i wanted to know if his staff possesd any seperate power

I'd say about Wonderman level on an overall base and standard.

He's like Dr Strange but instead of manipulating magic he manipulates the Power Cosmic

He is probably on Dr. Strange, Thanos or Silver Surfer`s level.

what about hand to hand

Adam Warlock does have few good hand to hand feats, but certainly is no Captain America.

He is lacking durability feat to truly put him at level or Thor or Silver Surfer, let alone Thanos.

His biggest advatange is his connection with soul gem, and the ability to manipulate soul. With soul gem, morals off, as long as you have a soul you are screwed against Warlock, without soul gem his level of control can be question.

He has more exotic abilities like Surfer, telepathy (very limited showings) and matter manipulation (well documented showings).

So close to Thor level, as long as he doesnt get blitz. He however has shield, but very little document reaction speed.
