Arguably since magus (depending which one) is the future version of warlock... It could be argued that he has all the same experience as Adam...

Remember Warlock's trial with LT? Pretty much every cosmic and abstract of note was present, and he destroyed them all with the wave of his hand. So perhaps he and Thanos are equal in that department as well..?
not entirely. Thanos usurped eternity, warlock just teleported him which technically gives Thanos the edge in feats.
Warlock's affinity with the soul gem should be of note though, he was able to wrest the gauntlet from the magus just by reaching out to the sould gem and then through them all
^ Thanos usurped Eternity, leaving his physical body (and subsequently the IG) completely vulnerable. Warlock, on the other hand, outright pwned Eternity like a weak feeb multiple times. If anything, Warlock's feats are superior, imo.
That is true, but Thanos' "complete victory override" kicked in and well.... Not as embarrassing as how warlock lost his the first time. Thanos used the gems to kill warlock twice
Anyway, warlock can "speak" with the gems apparently
Well I wouldn't be clear about Adam and how much damage he actually inflicted considering that most of them were m bodies and you can't say for sure what the durability is on a body that isn't even your own...

Magus wrecks everybody like he usually does. Warlock noted that Magus adapted to the Gauntlet the fastest. Warlock and Thanos usually has to combine their efforts just to outstrategize Magus. Also, I disagree that Warlock had it the longest. Thanos had the Gauntlet for probably just as long if you looked at when he acquired it to the number of encounters he had with Maelstrom, fighting the heroes, and fighting the abstracts. Warlock had the better feats though, only because Thanos was still toying with the abstracts.
Warlock and Thanos were both able to handle Eternity, but IMO the fact that Eternity was so adamant that Thanos not be apart of the Infinity Watch out of fear of what he would be outside of Eternity's influence, and even that there was the slightest possibility of Thanos abusing even one gem shows just how big a threat Thanos with the Gauntlet is.
Warlock commented that the Magus adapted to "Godhood" faster not the Guantlet. The Gauntlet was incomplete when Magus had it, Thanos had the reality gem and Warlock knew it. His incomplete gauntlet was powerful, but not as powerful as the versions held by Warlock, Thanos, or possiblyt even Loki. This implies that he was referring to the new powers that Magus did acquire.
