Adam Warlock has been a cult favorite Marvel hero since he was revamped into his current cosmic incarnation in the '70s. And back at his peak in the early '90s, Warlock was part of a team called Infinity Watch that stood guard over the Infinity Stones (or the Infinity Gems, as they were called at the time).

Definitely a sense of coming home.
