The Golden Boy of Marvel Rivals, Adam Warlock, is one of the most striking heroes in the game, and it’s not because he can throw a few punches, but because of his dazzling good looks. With a haircut stolen from Brad Bitt and a body that would make Thor jealous, especially in this game, it’s safe to say that Adam Warlock has an impressive design. In his wardrope, he only has a few skins, but the ones he has make Mr. Warlock look amazing! But which skins are the best? Well, scroll down to see ALL of Adam Warlock skins in Marvel Rivals ranked, from worst to best!
4. Cosmic Jade
It’s a recolor of Adam Warlock’s base skin, and it’s so bright that it’ll make you wonder who was happy in the design department that day? Talk about a design that doesn’t come together at all, with a terrible beige body, violent yellow and sickening green. It’s like someone just wanted to make the most obnoxious recolor imaginable, and I think that they succeeded in doing so. After all, the Cosmic Jade skin is easily the worst of the bunch.
What’s the biggest problem with this skin, you may wonder? Well, it doesn’t improve upon any aspect of the base skin, which means it’s just a recolor without any real theme or motive, and in my opinion that’s disappointing. Heck, even a base skin with a splash of new paint should have something to it, you know? If it’s just a different color, without a direction or color cohesion, it ends up feeling shallow. That’s the case with this skin.
3. Adam Warlock – Base Skin
A simple, yet flashy, golden golem look, with an ill-fitting hairstyle and a questionable color scheme – that’s what the base skin of Adam Warlock has to offer. While it’s not bad, it doesn’t excel in any aspect, being forgettable when compared to other heroes and villains’ base skins.
While I’m not a fan of the color scheme, it definitely trumps the vile yellow and greene mixture of the Cosmic Jade skin. With a strong golden yellow body color, the red, white and yellow are a good decision for the majestic cloak. While the black pants and metallic pieces on the lower body don’t do much to impress me, it’s still a lowkey solid design. The effort is there, that much is obvious. And while the glowing parts on the skin throw me off a bit, I find them tolerable. In turn, it’s a superior splash of paint to that of Cosmic Jade.
Overall, the base Adam Warlock skin is rock solid. I mean that. While I’m not fond of it, I’d still give it like a solid 6 out of 10. If only the hairstyle would’ve been better, you know? I’m sorry, I just think that it looks like a wig. There’s something off about it. Nevertheless, it’s pretty damn good, all things considered.
2. Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3
The Adam Warlock design in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 is abysmal. It’s not good at all. It’s a cosplay at best, and not a particularly good one. So I’m shocked that the people behind Marvel Rivals were able to take that look/costume, breathe new life into it, and make it feel so good. It isn’t something I was expecting, but the results speak for themselves. And the results are great!
This is one of the most well-adapted skins in Marvel Rivals, but what makes it so good to begin with? First and foremost, they took the busy design from the movie and broadened the design, stretching it perfectly over the buff characters model of Adam Warlock. In turn, what we get is an outfit that looks like the perfect fit. Secondly, the color scheme is cohesive and balances. It doesn’t do too much, grounding the over-complex design with good shading and little contrast. Last but not least, they gave Adam Warlock a better hairstyle, a more high quality, and actual eyes, all of which make him feel very human. In turn, what we’ve got here is an Adam Warlock skin worth buying and playing.
1. Blood Soul
This skin looks like it’s straight out of Dark Souls. With a single-tear golden mask, a spell book on the hip for leisurely reading and a red hood that would make Little Red Riding Hood jealous, the Blood Soul skin comes together perfectly! Whether it’s the perfect color scheme or the nice silhoutte that the clothes create, this skin comes across complete. It’s a premium skin, and it’s among the very best in Marvel Rivals.
