Adam – The Human Shield

Adam was a perfectly normal university student in Biology until he was run over by a massive truck one day while out jogging.

When the truck came off worse, he didn’t need a physics degree to realise that something odd had happened. He began researching it, experimenting on his own tissue, and then when he met the others, he began to work with them as well.

He brings a scientist’s wonder to the group. He is fascinated by powers, wants to find out where they come from, what their limits are. He doesn’t want to just experiment on people, though, he has morals, which is what caused the problems with Nowhere Man’s schemes.

Adam has the ability to absorb any momentum directed at him and redirect it into other objects. This does not apply to injuries from bladed weapons – he can still be cut, the blow will just lose most of its force.
