===Adam Warlock's first version=== When [[Adam Warlock]] obtains possession of the all-powerful Infinity Gauntlet (that contained the six [[Infinity Gems]]) from [[Thanos]], he is ordered by the [[Living Tribunal]] to separate the Gems so that they might never be used in conjunction again.<ref>[http://cmro.travis-starnes.com/detail.php?idvalue=9711 Complete Marvel Reading Order - Warlock and the Infinity Watch #1]</ref> Warlock forms the Infinity Watch, entrusting each member with an Infinity Gem to protect (keeping the identity of the sixth member a secret even from his fellow Infinity Watch-members). Under the Gauntlet's influence, Warlock is not in his right mind, and even he wondered if he had made the right choices later on. Initially, Warlock did not intend for the Watch to become a team; he believes the gems would be safer if they were all kept separately, but Warlock's old enemy, the [[Man-Beast]], abducts four Infinity Watch members and manipulated their gems in an attempt to destroy Warlock. After the Man-Beast is defeated, the Infinity Watch chose to stay together as a heroic team, except for Thanos. However, Thanos, having undergone a period of humility after the Infinity Gauntlet affair, did not abuse his gem, but kept it safe. Warlock negotiates a deal with the [[Mole Man]] to use a castle on Monster Island as the Watch's base. With help from [[Avengers (comics)|The Avengers]] and Warlock, the [[United Nations]] recognize the Mole Man's sovereignty of Monster Island (after a fatality-free battle with the Watch). The Infinity Watch goes on to deal with many other foes, most of them interested in the power the Gems could confer on their owner. Other opponents had personal interests in the Infinity Watch members. An [[amnesic]] man appears on Monster Island and was taken in by the Watch despite Gamora's warnings. Gamora, holding the Time Gem, has visions of this man killing Adam Warlock. The Watch names the man Maxam after a symbol found on his belt and he joins the Watch, despite a violent outburst against Warlock. The Watch also becomes involved in the events of ''[[The Infinity War]]'' and ''[[The Infinity Crusade]]'', both stemming from the events of ''[[The Infinity Gauntlet]]''. A while later Gamora leaves the team after an argument with Adam Warlock. Maxam became the new Guardian of the Time Gem. This causes his memories to return; he is under the belief that Warlock is a danger to his homeworld. Under Moondragon's telepathic influence, Maxam believes that he had broken Warlock's neck and returned to his own world. Meanwhile, the being known as [[Rune (comics)|Rune]] steals all the Infinity Gems and took them to the [[Ultraverse]]. With Gamora, Maxam and the gems gone, the Watch disbands. Although the gems are eventually returned to the Marvel Universe, the Watch has not been fully reestablished yet; however, Adam Warlock, Gamora, and Pip were shown attempting to overthrow the [[Champion of the Universe]]'s rule of the planet Skardon in the 2004β2005 ''[[She-Hulk]]'' series, and at one point recruited Drax to aid in their efforts.
