> I understand what I did, and you’re justified in hating me. My actions accomplished nothing but ruining the lives of millions of innocent civilians and further dooming my own kind. But if it’s any consolation, no matter how much you hate me, I will always hate myself infinitely more.

**Adam Kaiser**, better known as **Napalm**, is a POV character in *Anchor* and the most powerful superhuman of all time.

## Profile

### Overview

After losing everything in the war against Atlas, Adam spent six years alone in the mountains, desperately trying to end his life but being unable to die due to his powers. He has no will or motivation to live, and drowns out his memories with a constant supply of alcohol, but Kian Kelly was able to recruit him into the resistance as a trainer for Squad 6 by promising they had found a way to kill him. Now, Adam spends most of his time training recruits for their first operation, after which his obligations will be fulfilled so he can finally rest in peace.

### Abilities

Adam has enhanced strength, steel-like skin, and regeneration so quick he is physically unable to die. These abilities alone would still make him a force to be reckoned with, but his ability to turn his own body into explosive weaponry is what makes him the world's most powerful superhuman.  His preferred method is to fire bullets made from his own flesh, bone, and muscles, which travel at remarkable speeds and explode upon impact; they are extremely deadly but not very destructive, making it ideal for fighting in densely-populated areas.  These bullets are fired using gun barrel-like formations made of bone that he can form on nearly any part of his body; however, he prefers forming them on his hands so he can properly aim.  Having been in the military for decades, he’s a remarkable shot.  It’s extremely painful to use this ability, as the gun barrel completely destroys his carpal bones and flesh to pierce through his wrist, and the formation of the bullets literally tears apart his own body tissue.  However, his regeneration means he never runs out of bullets, and his carpal bones quickly reform once the gun barrels retract.  He uses a similar method to morph his arms into cannons for larger explosions, though he tries to avoid doing this, as it is very destructive.

If a situation calls for more firepower, he will sometimes break off his fingers or hands and use them like grenades or dynamite, detonating them from a distance. In times of extreme desperation, such as one-on-one combat with Atlas, he has been known to rip off entire limbs and use them as bombs to create cataclysmic explosions.  He can also use his limbs as explosives while they’re still attached, but that isn’t horribly useful.  He can’t turn his whole body into an explosive, because that would kill him, and his powers will not allow him to die.  But, theoretically, if he was able to do that, it would have an impact even greater than that of an atomic weapon.
