Fictional Character Biography

It was his genetic research as a Genomex scientist which creates hundreds of new mutants.

When Adam grew disquieted with Genomex's questionable ethics, he leaves Genomex and drops out of sight. He has taken the responsibility to save these innocent victims of Genomex. He helps to form the mutant Underground, and set up Mutant X, a team of powerful mutants who could fight, if necessary, to maintain mutant freedoms. However, it took Adam twenty years for his morals to be activated. Even after leaving Genomex, he continues his experimentation on mutants as he admits in the third season.

It is revealed in the series finale that Adam is a clone of the founder of the Dominion.
