Adam

Adam was an undead being, self-described as a bio-mechanical demonoid, created by the Initiative scientist Maggie Walsh as part of the 314 Project.

He serves as the Big Bad for the Initative Story Arc.

He was a scientific military experiment of psychology professor Maggie Walsh, created for the Initiative as the ultimate weapon for defending the United States of America.

Adam is identified as a bio-mechanical demonoid, a composite being comprised out of several demon organs, the remains of a deceased human soldier and several mechanical appendages.

Adam's goals revolved around the 314 Project, the Initiative's code name for the creation of an army of bio-mechanical-demonoids.

Following in the foot steps of his creator, Adam elaborated a plot of having the Initiative soldiers fight to the death with the demons held captive by the Initiative for study.

In the aftermath of the slaughter, Adam would then harvest the organs of both the dead soldiers and demons to create an army of creatures similar to himself with whom he could bring about chaos to the entire planet.

Adam is notable for being one of the most difficult enemies Buffy Summers ever had to encounter, proving to be physically superior to her, as well as one of the most calculating.

Nevertheless, he was ultimately stopped through the literally combined forces of the Scooby Gang.

## Appearance

Most of his appearace resembles human like stracture while retaining some demon parts like his green skin and has some cyborg pshylogy such as his arm.

## Personality

Adam's behavior is that of a nascent life form, born with rudimentary knowledge of dialogue, body movement, self-defense, but is oblivious as to the purpose of his inception.

His inquisitive and curious nature leads him to dissect and vivisect a child and several demons in order to make sense and learn more about the world.

As he described it, by cutting open the child's body Adam learned how human anatomy worked but did not gain any information about how the world works.

However, his operations did provide him with his belief that the universe was innately chaotic and rampageous.

Adam became fascinated with the concepts of chaos and destruction, going so far as substituting the words with "interesting", as demonstrated when Spike tried explaining to him that the Scooby Gang posed a threat, to which Adam replied "yes, they are interesting.".

Before dissecting the body of the young boy he met, Adam made a large grin, indicating that he found dissection amusing, or rather appealing, probably because it would permit him to learn more about the world.

When Jonathan Levinson cast the augmentation spell on all of Sunnydale, Adam refused to stop Jonathan and instead showed interest in seeing the spell's result, which Adam claimed would be chaotic do to the instability of the magic.

After stealing Maggie Walsh's files regarding the 314 Project, Adam comes to the realization that he had been created for the sole purpose of killing and had accepted to live up to his function and immediately began preparations for the creation of the bio-mechanical-demonoid army.

In relation to his profound desire to learn, Adam developed a strong charisma which made him relate with other demons, easily attracting other demons to his cause.

He convinced several vampires into serving him by encouraging them to stop fearing death and the weakness towards the sun and holy artifacts.

Spike was at first skeptical of Adam, but soon came to realize that the cyborg could understand the pain brought up by the chip.

Nevertheless, Adam also proved himself dangerous, frightening, temperamental, and intimidating, with Spike baking off when Adam refused to help him and even ordered Spike's death.

Unsurprisingly, Adam's ability to relate with others was not reciprocated by humans, namely Riley Finn.

Adam saw himself as brother to Riley since both of them had been experimented on by Maggie Walsh, whom Adam viewed as their mother.

But in spite of his affection for Maggie Walsh, Adam only intended to transform Riley into a bio-mechanical-demonoid, while professor Walsh was merely reanimated as a drone, probably because her body parts were unsuitable material for the process, same as professor Angleman.

## Powers, Skills & Abilities

* **Strength**: Due to his cybernetic enhancements, as well as the numerous demon body parts that he was composed of, Adam possessed immense physical strength superior to that of most vampires, demons and Slayers. His strength allowed him to overpower Buffy with ease before she was enhanced by the enjoining spell, rip off a vampire's head with one hand, and overpower and dissect/vivisect a number of demons, including a Fyarl demon whose species is known for their great strength.
* **Durability:** Due to the uranium 235 core used to reanimate and power his body, Adam had no need for food, water, or sleep, and was virtually immortal, able to survive and rapidly regenerate from any wound, no matter how severe, as long as the core was active. His tough hide and cybernetic implants enabled him to take multiple blows from Buffy while barely flinching.
* **Electrical absorbance:** Adam was able to absorb electrical energy to strengthen himself, thus making the Initiative's taser blasters not only useless against him, but also dangerous to the user. Buffy described the initiative's tactic to hit Adam with multiple taser blasters as "giving him an all-you-can-eat buffet."
* **Technopathy:** Adam appeared to possess the ability to physically manipulate technology as he was able to mentally activate Riley's behavior modifier and interface with computer networks and hard data storage such as floppy disks.
* **Arm weapons:** Adam possessed the left arm of a Polgara demon, giving him the power to release a sharp bone-skewer from under his palm which he used to kill multiple targets, though the skewer was ultimately broken by Buffy. His right arm, while initially possessing no special feature of its own, was later upgraded, implanted with a collapsible minigun and rocket launcher, both of which he used to great effect against Buffy in their final showdown.
* **Self-awareness:** He also possessed a heightened sense of self-awareness, making him immune to mind control and aware of reality alterations. According to Adam, he was conscious of every individual molecule which comprised his body.
* **Intelligence:** Adam often gave a scientific analysis on both human and demon psychology and nature. He also possessed extensive knowledge of the Initiative's personnel and facilities, possessed enough knowledge of biology and cybernetics to turn Forrest Gates into a bio-mechanical demonoid like himself, and was a master of persuasion, convincing the vampires and demons of Sunnydale to team up against the Initiative.
