A.D.A.M. is a major antagonist in the Archie Sonic the Hedgehog comic book series.
He is a virus that, after infecting Eggman's network, gained free will and became Eggman's son. Due to his need for attention and respect from Eggman he took the identity Anonymous to manipulate events behind the scenes to become the dominant power on the planet.
Appearance[]
Originally A.D.A.M. was just a virus on a computer screen, appearing as a green Eggman logo with red eyes and the name Egg on him.
When possessing Tommy Turtle he would have a mettalic silverly color due to being covered in Nanites. His form would be that of a turtle with white eyes, four appendages on the sides of his chest, and a green orb in the center.
In his super form his color becomes gold and he would sprout wings to fly.
History[]
Background[]
Autonomous Digital Assault Microbe, later known as A.D.A.M., was originally just a virus in Eggman's software which would later grow and evolve until he gained a mind of his own. Impressed with the virus, Eggman would claim him as his son and put him in charge of the Eggnet and his entire Badnik Horde. During the months Sonic was gone he would lead Eggman's armies to begin reconquering the planet and committing genocide on the inhabitants.
Operation Triple Threat[]
A.D.A.M. would end up having Swat Bots capture Hershey the Cat and Geoffrey St. John after they discovered Eggman's nuclear arsenal and attempted to execute them before the returning Sonic destroyed the bots and rescued the couple. A.D.A.M. would then alert Eggman of Sonic's return and would later be in charge of carrying out Operation Triple Threat. He would control an army of Swat Bots to destroy the barrier keeping the radiation from Robotropolis at bay so it would release into the world and launch two nuclear missiles at both Station Square and Knothhole. He would later attempt to hack into the Tornado to prevent Tails from stopping the missiles launch only to be distracted by Tails making jokes and riddles, which confused the logic minded A.I. Due to him being distracted, the missiles' counter was delayed, giving Bunnie enough time to destroy them. He would later be berated by Eggman for wasting time, although A.D.A.M. would simply say the encounter was fun.
The birth of Anonymous and the Nanite city[]
A.D.A.M. would create the Anonymous persona to go behind Eggman's back in hopes of impressing him or killing him and Sonic. He would create robot Duplicates of the Destructix who he would have attack Sonic, and replace Tommy Turtle with a infiltrator robot to assainantate Sonic, although it would end up killing Sonic's dad Jules instead (who was later revived by Sonic with a Power Ring). He would then show the robots to Eggman claiming that they were roboticized versions of the real Destructix and gave him a forged video showing them being roboticized by a mysterious figure known as "Anonymous". His purpose in doing this was to trick Eggman into thinking roboticization was possible again and to make him aware of the presence of someone that could rival him in intellect.
After Eggman's rant about a lack of progress in conquering the planet, A.D.A.M. would make use of the Nanite bots Eggman made to make a massive Nanite CIty that grew and consumed organic life, which he calculated in the next 118 hours, 23 minutes and 41.9 seconds would engulf the planet. When Sonic and friends arrived to stop him, he would capture the cyborg Bunnie and attempted to take her apart and forcibly integrate her into his system. He would only be stopped by Sonic pointing out absorbing organic life mixed mechanical would corrupt his system and that what he was doing was not logical. Thrown off by Sonic's point, it would cause the Nanites to cease expanding due the revelation and for A.D.A.M. to abandon his plan.
Metal Sonic Troopers[]
A.D.A.M. under his Anonymous persona again would then brainwash his sister Mecha and also take control of an army of Metal Sonic Troopers. He would then menace Eggman with system shutdown messages threatening to kill him. He would then have them confront him at New Megapolis and order them to kill Dr. Eggman. Although Eggman would escape and free Mecha from his control the trooper when then proceed to go try to destroy Knothole and look for Dr. Eggman to kill him. They would end up injuring the young girl Hope earing the wrath of Shadow the Hedgehog, who ends up destroying them all with Chaos control. A.D.A.M. then reveals to a angered Eggman that due to the Nanites being taken by the Freedom Fighters he was able to infect Bunnie, Jules Hedgehog,and Tommy Turtle with Nanites to control them later. He also put nanites in the Ai NICOLE so that they could use her to spy on Knothole much to Eggman's approval.
The death of the Ancient Walkers and the return of Naugus and Mogul[]
Anonymous would once again put a scheme into motion this time seeking to eliminate potential rivals to his power. He would begin this by luring the Arachne into the Egg Grape chamber while Eggman was using them to draw power from the Zone of Silence. While in the chamber they would use the Sword of Acorns which would dimensional breach which would cause the thousands of Mobians in the Egg Grapes to be lost in the Zone of Silence, kill the Ancient Walkers which would free Mammoth Mogul from his imprisonment, and would also free Ixis Naugus from the Zone of Silence. After Naugus left the chamber A.D.A.M. would tell Eggman that the one that let the Arachne into the chambers and was working with Anonymous was Mecha. He would prove this with a forged video showing Mecha and a blurred-out figure discussing the plan. This would cause Eggman out of paranoia to order Mecha to self-destruct and then tell A.D.A.M. to delete her backup data. He would then watch the battle unfold between Sonic, Freedom Fighters, Sir Connery, and the Chaotix vs Ixis Naugus, the Archanne, Destuctix, and Mammoth Mogul. The resulting battle would result in Sir Connery giving his life to destroy the last remnants of the Source of all (the source of creation itself) just as A.D.A.M. planned. Then with the villains captured and sent to the Egg Grapes A.D.A.M. succeeded in his goal of making Eggman the only power on the planet. He then stated he would destroy Eggman and Sonic and his father would realize to late that Anonymous and A.D.A.M. where the same.
The Gathering of Chaos Emeralds and death[]
A.D.A.M. would start his final plan by having Mammoth Mogul tell him that Tails was prophesied to bring about a Gathering of Chaos Emaralds. He would then steal his Chaos Emarald and free Mammoth and Mogul from the Egg Grapes to distract Shadow who he also needed for his plan. Eggman would the discover this betrayal and attempt to have A.D.A.M. deleted however A.D.A.M. was able to download himself into Tommy Turtle's body beforehand as it was infected by Nanites. He would then have his Nanites take control of NICOLE and Bunnie to cause a distraction at Knothole so he could use his Nanites to have Jules kidnap Tails. He would then force Eggman to order Shadow to come to the Nanite city where he would promptly beat Shadow. He would then reveal his plan to use Shadow's Chaos Control, Tail's status as the chosen one, and the Nanite City to summon every Chaos Emarald in the universe for himself. He would succeed in this goal only missing the Master Emarald as Locke and Doctor Finitevus prevented him from obtaining it.
Sonic would then arrive to face A.D.A.M. who would state that after he achieved world conquest his father would finally respect him which Eggman responded to by renouncing him as his son and that he will be happy to see Sonic destroy him. A.D.A.M. would then state he predicted this response which is why he tricked Eggman into killing Mecha so that he would be the only one Eggman would respect. He would then shapeshift into Tommy to mess with Sonic and mock him for being unable to hurt his friend. Realizing that the Egg Fleet would arrive soon A.D.A.M. would then fly to the spire of Chaos Emerald's to become Super A.D.A.M. and would end up doing battle. His plan would be foiled by Tails and Shadow who using their super forms would transport all the Chaos Emarald's to another dimension and the Egg Fleet would arrive to destroy him. While claiming that he was invinble regardless of the situation A.D.A.M. would lose control of his body and Tommy Turtle would take back control of the body and would use the last of his strength to fly into the Egg Fleet allowing Eggman to fire at him and kill both Tommy and A.D.A.M. for good.
Personality[]
When first shown A.D.A.M. appeared to be a logical and serous program always stating data and questions in a proper and logical manner. He also appeared to be unable to understand certain concepts like jokes and Bunnie being a cyborg.
However, as he evolved past his programming A.D.A.M. would develop a much more sinister personality. He would become incredibly arrogant gloating at how smart and well-constructed his plans were even stating himself to have surpassed the ultimate life form. He would also develop a sadistic side, mocking his opponents for their foolishness, being tricked by his plan or there suffering in general. He also developed a need for attention and respect especially his father Eggman. Due to his sister getting all the attention he would trick Eggman into killing her purely out of envy. Despite his obsession with earing Eggman's respect he shows no qualms in endangering Eggman in many of his schemes out even trying to outright kill him showing he seems to value his father very little as a person.
Despite his own ego he also his shown to have little patience for Sonic's jokes during their final battle asking him to shut up.
A.D.A.M., unlike his father, prefers to work from the shadows and orchestrate events behind the scenes. Although he did seem to enjoy attributing his plans to his Anonymous persona and claiming to rival Eggman in intellect, showing his pride in being able to manipulate events.
Trivia[]
- A scrapped story idea involved A.D.A.M. forming a relationship with Nicole and rebelling against Eggman as a result.
