No she didn't. It was similar to Thors madness. She kept telling him his directives and he believed her. Thats like if I coercied a 6 year old into believing that stealing is OK. Not really impressive.
I can't find the issues right now, but the way I remember it during the JSA tie in they were talking about taking Eclipso out to free The Spectre and either SHAZAM or Nabu said something to the effect of him being more vulnerable to her control due to his lack of a host. I know she didn't outright possess him but I remember it as her actually using her powers to influence him.
I remember that. It was my interpretation that she used her powers to alter his perspective , as in to actually make him beleive what she said so wholeheartedly. Maybe I'm misremembering, but I thought that either SHAZAM or Nabu said something to the effect of him being more vulnerable to Eclipso's influence due to losing his host.
And remember, Darkseid created the Black Diamond and is immune to eclipso's power. While the current Eclipso is, say, only powerful enough to take on Shadowpact or something, the original was taking on all kinds of heroes in his crossover event.
Has anyone ever stood up to the Soul-Rip? I cant think of anyone. He doesn't use it often, but there's not much Warlock I haven't read, and the only time I can think of it failing was against Count Abyss, who didn't have a soul to steal.

I'm pretty sure Darkseid's soul is protected by the Source, so no soul rip. And before someone mentions DOTNG, I think Nvr's right about the killer being empowered by the Source.

He always feared using it on Thanos, because supposedly Thanos could just take over Warlock's body.
This was bolstered by the time that he absorbed Warrior's soul. Despite the fact that the creature didn't even have a soul, per se, and wasn't the true Thanos (a much weaker will, as alluded to by Thanos) Adam was almost overwhelmed, and would have been had it not been for the intervention of the real Thanos.
Darkseid would still lose to Mephisto in his own realm. Regardless hes still pretty powerful in his own realm and while he has a crapload of low showings he is still beating Darkseid here. But this isnt about Mephisto anyways.
soul steal for the win i guess (if it works, probably would). but for ds taking over aw's body(which he probably would also)...ah well, you win some then you lose some i suppose.

I believe it was in the series where Magus had taken control of the Gauntlet ore was it Nemora... Not sure but I remember him saying that a Soul Steal attack wouldn't have any effect against Galactus.
I posted this in the Galactus respect thread. Adam Warlock can't use the soul gem on big G because big G has no soul...at least no soul within the realm of the gem's powers.
that scan is from thanos #3.
and for once marvel is actually consistent. way before the whole infinity gauntlet affair, the in-betweener tried to kill galactus, but he failed. during their big fight, the in-betweener had the soul gem. we know it's the soul gem because thanos goes to claim the soul gem from the in-betweener in thanos quest. the soul gem has never worked on galactus
