Upon confronting Trenk, Warlock managed to evade several employees of the Foundation that sought to kill him. He then confronted Trenk who deceived Warlock by pretending to be an innocent man in a wheel chair before he used the power of the Red Diamond taken from an Indian statue that had hypnotic abilities. Trenk had the millionaire Mr. Mack and Warlock commanded to commit suicide but the wizard's raven Hugin brought the Lamp of the Gods that was lighted thus freeing him from the hypnosis.

Powers and abilities

As a white magician, he was a wielder of white magic that was harmful to those that used black magic. The wizard carried with him a small magic staff that was the Golden Hand and resembled a golden clenched fist with much of his magic embedded within it. To activate it, it simply needed to shout the word of power namely Abraxas whereupon the enchanted hand slowly opened. It transformed into a giant golden hand that he could command to achieve various tasks such as grabbing fully grown humans that could be brought to him from a distance or turning into a fist to punch a target such as individuals or smash through walls. Alternatively, the word of power could be used to achieve a number of spells such as manifesting traps to attack a target. It could also be used to manifest objects such as domes of super-hard steel as shields against attackers. Warlock could even use it to transform enemies into other objects such as turning a gargoyle into a balloon. Though most of his power lay in the staff, he was able to utilise some elements of magic even without it but he could not achieve the same feats as those with the Golden Hand. (Nickel Comics v1 #1) He was capable of casting spells with other magical words such as uttering the phrase Hecate Magna Mater that could transform objects into something else such as a knife into an ice cream cone. (Nickel Comics v1 #4)

Warlock also had with him a range of mystical artifacts at his home. Among these was the Lamp of the Gods with the mystical relic being able to summon the power of gods such as Thor, Lord of the Thunderbolt. From there, the wizard could access the deity's hammer which he could then throw at his enemies which could kill them. (Nickel Comics v1 #1) Its power when lighted could also remove other mystical effects such as hypnosis affecting Warlock thus freeing him from such enchantments. (Nickel Comics v1 #4)

He was also accompanied by a wise raven named Hugin who guided his steps in finding evil. (Nickel Comics v1 #1) Hugin was capable of speech and was able to talk to Warlock. (Nickel Comics v1 #2) It could lead him to targets and warn him of danger or retrieve objects for him. Using his word of power, the wizard could turn Hugin into a much larger form to attack dangerous targets such as eating giant spiders. (Nickel Comics v1 #1)
