Now, why should I believe a twisted pile of circuits like you? Ah, they weren't so great. You better, or I'll come back and reprogram youse all with blunt instruments. In the comics, Adam is awfully close to Gamora. I'll cover your rear with my boot. The de-evolution ray is primed, but there is only enough energy for a single shot. Lay low, you shriveled-up maniac! How can you bring us back here after everything they've done? Because I am the one doing it. A mother loves all her children.
Besides, what's your hurry, Runt? This image of my family requires no effort to carry. Is it true you got a way to reverse your evolution process? We have been tracking you for some time, via your cybernetic implants. You will not undo my great works. It appears someone, or something, has been excavating the mineral. This place brings back memories. What we did was wrong, but what Pyko is doing to us is far worse. Look, I know you're still in there.
He is no longer your brother. How's keeping your big mouth shut coming along? But how do we know we can trust you? Which means it's got to be worth something to somebody. You were captured on planet Gruckkuk, where you sabotaged our mining operation, destroying our supply of a rare mineral with unusual properties.

I can almost hear the voice of that creepy lab chief. Why ain't I changin' back, too? Besides, now that my family's safe, we can call the Guardians and ditch this little trip down amnesia lane. Ranger is only the first.
Oh, so you were just gonna leave your poor mother and sister with those big, nasty robots? Find the cure before Pyko mutates us all. Pyko's the super-evolved genius who made our revolution possible. Hand over the test subjects now. I always knew your little brother wasn't right. The majority are light and breezy inside jokes, but two hint at the future of both the ragtag Guardians and the more traditionally heroic Avengers.
Smart enough not to get captured. I will prepare the equipment. It looks to me like you got what you deserve, after what you put me and Groot through. Upon opening it, Quill unleashes a treasure map leading to a powerful weapon known as the Cosmic Seed which is capable of giving birth to the next universe. But what can you do? Sorry you lost your family again. And even if I did, I wouldn't tell you vacuum cleaners.
Subjects will cease all defiant activity. How come you always gotta blame me, Ma? Interestingly, despite his relationship to Soul Gems and Infinity Gauntlets, Adam Warlock is in the Infinity War itself—though he is confirmed for Guardians Vol. Not so special now, are you, Runt? Looks like we're too late. Better save the introductions, boss. This is the joint where we got experimented on. I said goodbye and never looked back.
They couldn't super-evolve your eyesight? I know the robo-scientists are working on a cure. You guys ran away from me. What are you waitin' for, a standing ovation? The bots are on our side. We require only a small supply of the Gruckkuk mineral. Yeah, that's my family, all right. We need this more than you do. Nobody messes with my family.
That cocoon got a much fancier, gold-encrusted update for Vol. Who am I to fight now? What's so familiar-looking about this place? The beam will reflect off the inner surface of the energy shield and bathe the entire hemisphere. In time, we realized our mistake, and sought to reverse it using the same method, but it was too late. We gotta get my ma and sis out of this madhouse. And I don't want to hear no grief over it. They don't know what they're doing! Grandpa turtle's gonna turn us all into monsters.
