So Adam Warlock did become the Magus. This is not likely to be a good thing for the Marvel Universe. Still, there's the matter of the cocoon. This Adam Warlock emerged from a cocoon during Annihilation: Conquest, but the Universal Church of Truth has another cocoon just like it, which they've been trying to open ever since they encountered this Adam Warlock. Where the UTC came across this other cocoon is unknown. Who is inside it is unknown. When it first showed up, I figured it was the Magus, but since he's known made the scene through a different avenue, I have no idea.
It could be another Adam Warlock, but that wouldn't explain why the voice of whomever is inside was so angry when the UTCers tried to forcibly open it. Granted, Adam Warlock was disoriented through the early chapters of Conquest precisely because he was forced to hatch before he was ready, so maybe this Adam Warlock is more proactive in making sure that doesn't happen? Or maybe I was right, and it's another Magus. Perhaps his cocoon drifted into the 616 universe through a little tear the Guardians either didn't notice or didn't reach soon enough. Two Maguses (Magi?), it's doubtful they'd get along.
The main thing I had to go off of when I originally guessed Magus was the cocoon, the anger, and the use of the color, since that's Magus' skin color. Hmm, who else is purple? Well, Star-Lord's supposed to run into Kang soon, could he have tried a cocoon as an unorthodox method of traveling backwards in time? Yeah, you're right, that's silly.
Maybe it's Thanos. He's purple, and dead, the last time we saw him. Maelstrom said that Drax killing Dearth's Champion caused an instability in the universe, so could Thanos have come back to serve Death again, and try to even things out? Sure, he wouldn't want to leave Death, but he would if he thought she needed him to. Thanos has interacted with the Magus before (Infinity War), but it might be interesting to see how things went this time, since I imagine both of them have changed since then.

There's got to be someone inside there, and while a Magus or Adam Warlock seems like the obvious choice (though the mechanics of it confuse me) there might be some other options.
I seem to recall an old story where the people who created Warlock also created a female version that also went rogue, maybe it's someone like that.
The Phoenix egg is usually shaped differently (and the concept belongs to the X-offices of course) but maybe it's the Phoenix disguised somehow.
3rd possibility that occured to me is that it's an Adam Warlock from the future somehow sent back to stop his Magus self. Not quite a different hyposthesis but a variation on it.
seangreyson: The future Adam Warlock seems a likely guess.
As to the female version, there was Goddess, from Infinity Crusade, who was the good Adam expelled from his soul, like Magus was the evil. There's another character, I can't remember her name, she showed up in Quasar for awhile (she's on the cover to Quasar #49), she was either created to be like Adam Warlock, or mate with him, or something.
There are some weird characters just floating around out there.
