Birth Pods, also called Cosmic Cocoons,[1] are incubators used by the Sovereign to procreate. One of the cosmic coccoons was in possession of Taneleer Tivan stored in his museum.
History[]
Collector's Cosmic Cocoon[]
Cosmic Cocoon in Collector's Museum
Taneleer Tivan collected a primitive Sovereign version of the cocoon.[2] The cosmic cocoon was present in his museum when Sif and Volstagg delivered the Aether to the museum.[3]
When the Guardians of the Galaxy delivered the Orb to the museum, Tivan revealed that it contained an Infinity Stone. Upon discovering this, Tivan's assistant Carina, angry how Tivan had treated her and her predecessors, unleashed its power, destroying much of the museum, as well as his cocoon.[4]
Creating Adam Warlock[]
Adam Warlock's Birth Pod
Using an advanced birth pod, Ayesha began creating a being capable of defeating the Guardians of the Galaxy. While showing the birth pod to her chambermaid, Ayesha decided to call her creation Adam.[5]
Eventually, the High Evolutionary went to the Sovereign, where he brought forward the birth of Adam, causing him to be born powerful, but at the same time someone with innocence. With Adam out of his birth pod, Ayesha and her creator teamed up to try to kidnap Rocket.[6]
