Adam Warlock was a member of the Nova Corps that helped keep the peace on Knowhere, the decapitated head of dead Celestial that acted as Battleworld's moon. They attempted to take the criminal Yotat the Destroyer into custody after he attacked Drax the Destroyer of the Guardians of Knowhere,[1] but they failed to secure him and he killed Moondragon in the escape. They later apprehended Yotat after he was defeated by Drax with the assistance of Angela of the Thor Corps. When Hala the Accuser suddenly appeared on Knowhere and began to rampage,[2] the Nova Corps tried to stop her, but they failed, and were killed in the attempt.
