I want to know where the heck all this Warlock respect was when I had him in the last tourney.
Seriously, I was struggling to convince people he's herald level, and now the consensus seem to have him beating anyone this side of Thanos. It's sweet he's getting respect, but I just wish it was maybe 6 months earlier.

Yeah, no one thinks he can beat Thanos. He definitely can't.
Not sure about the karmic thing on Orion, but it has a good track record of at least disorienting even high level people.
Honestly, I see guys like Sentry and Orion as bad matchups for Warlock. He's not going to flat-out overpower a top-tier brawler, and they both have some energy manip as well. Warlock's versatility is maddeningly good, combined with decent brawler-ness, making him a great matchup for anyone not from a straight brawler mold (hence why he'd beat Loki and Hal more often than not).
He can hang with top brawlers as well (he's punked classic Drax without having to out-skill him...he's just punched the crap out of him once or twice), and would have a skill edge over either one of them imo. But part of me thinks that if Sentry or Orion decided to go bloodlust crazy, that Warlock would be screwed.
