The Adam Warlocky Horror Picture Show?

Between the perfect bronze physique from the moment he first sprang to life, the platinum blonde bowl haircut and those rockin' gold lamé shorty shorts, I've always wondered if Dr. Frankenfurter's creation from the eponymously-named The Rocky Horror Picture Show was actually based on the first appearance of Adam Warlock in Marvel Comics' Fantastic Four #67, when he was known only as "Him."

 

It looks like legendary longtime Adam Warlock scribe Jim Starlin might have thought so too, since The Infinity War version of the Magus (Adam Warlock's twisted, evil future self) is nearly a dead ringer for "Space Riff" as well.

Come to think of it, there's an eerie resemblance between the Magus' original look from the '70s comic Warlock and Dr. Frankenfurter himself!
