IG gives universal power so if we're talking about AM at the height of his power after having consumed most of the DC multiverse i cant see how the IG can stand up to that.
With IG this is Warlock's universe, and the Anti-Monitor is just passing through. AM is powered up by destruction, but AW can control every detail everywhere in the universe. Adam Warlock wins.

AW is still wielding just the energies of one universe whilst AM would have the energies of the majority of a multiverse backing him up. Theres just no comparison.
Gender: Male Location: Planning to take over the WORLD!
well, would aw have been able to stand up to the spectre as am did? i don't think so. problem is, is this new era of cosmics, they are shown doing so many higher end feats. if a came back today, and was at the height of his power, we would likely see him doing so pretty retarded feats. look what krona did to galactus and krona was an insect to am.
Warlock stands a chance. Probably not a good one, but it seemed he had better control over the Gauntlet than Thanos due to his natural affinity with the gems.
Anti-Monitor is very powerful. And I acknowledge the fact he has consumed various Multiverses. But I agree with roughrider. With the IG, this is Warlock's Universe. Warlock could possibly repel the Anti-Monitor out of the Marvel Universe or simply bar him from ever entering the Marvel Universe. Warlock is smarter than Thanos and could devise a way of using the IG to help better the odds for him. He could use the time gem to give himself time to think of a strategy. Warlock is a brilliant tactician, and I have him winning the battle by an inch in my opinion.
But AM would still have exponentially more power to draw on than AW and considering he'd absorbed most of the multiverse all the powers Adam has through the IG which itself taps into the fundamental forces of the universe would be posessed by AM but to a far greater degree.
Couldn't Adam shunt the power of the Marvel Universe from being absorbed by the AM? Can AM still absorb energy from within a Universe that he has no control over?
Well he created advanced machinery to regulate his power and it enabled him to go on to absorb most of the multiverse so yeah id say he was a genius to do that.
Warlock could probably also harness the power of lesser beings to aid him in his battle against the AM. The Abstracts, Eternity, Infinity, Oblivion, Death, Galactus, Epoch, Etc... With the IG, it's possible.
Well its not like he had control over any of the universes he absorbed. He just sent a wave of energy that passed from universe to universe converting it to anti matter and further empowering himself.
