Re: The return of the [old] New Mutants!
What did they do with Warlock in Conquest?
In Nova 11 & 12, he popped up while Nova was looking for the technarchy homeworld, he had taken a son Tycho and was raising him as basically a vegetarian Technarch, not consuming others life glow no matter what the cost. eventually he cures Nova of the Phalanx infection (because it's like a by-product of their digestive tract or something like that), and a fully matured technarch shows up, Tycho's father, Tycho and Nova try and fight him off, but it leads to Tycho appearing to be consumed by his father, but he really takes over his form, with his fathers vast reserve of Lifeglow he cures Drax and Gamora, then in the aftermath of Conquest him Warlock and Wraith go about curing all the kree citizens of their infections
I'm terrible at explaining this, but I highly recomend you read Nova #11 &12, it's beautifully rendered by Pelletier, and it's one of the high points in the series overarching saga.
Actually, there's no mention of Doug/Warlock/Douglock/etc being on the team.
Actually there is, in one of the article's about the series Brevoort is asked about Warlock and Cypher, and he says they are part of the team, but not right off the bat.
