Other: There are a stupid amount of theories about .. every aspect of Heroes, and people have a lot of speculation about Adam because there are a lot of gaps in his history. Example, though Peter, Sylar and Clare can all regenerate (well, at this canon point), they have a "sweet spot" in the back of their head. Meaning that if something hits them there they will 'shut down' like a computer and appear dead as long as it remains lodged. If the brain is destroyed, they will die permanently.
But in regards to Adam's ability, there doesn't seem to be a "sweet spot" and he is therefore able to be killed by any blow to the head that would take out his brain. This might be something that was overlooked in writing, though maybe it's more likely that Claire's ability evolved from Adam's and therefore is more "advanced" and renders her even more difficult to kill. [Another really stupid theory is that Adam is Claire's ancestor/he's related to the Petrellis. Who cares this much about Heroes, seriously.] Additional Links: - http://heroeswiki.com/Adam_Monroe - the official Takezo Kensei documentary: http://yamagatofellowship.org/videoPlayer.shtml?mea=148635 - The Ten Brides of Takezo Kensei (as per the graphic novels): http://heroeswiki.com/The_Ten_Brides_of_Takezo_Kensei - and just more bs about Kensei if I haven't said enough already: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mythology_of_Heroes#The_Legend_of_Takezo_Kensei
First Person (entry type): Video; [Adam's face is illuminated only by the blue electronic glow of his cellphone, but he's frowning at it and turning it every which way.]
How in the blazes.... I've been down here for days, how does this still have battery life.
[Adam blinks a few times before righting the phone and realizing belatedly that it's recording him. His expression of dull confusion immediately turns to that of desperate. He speaks slowly and deliberately in case someone really can see this video,]
If anyone is seeing this, I'm trapped in a coffin. Buried alive! And it's as awful as it sounds.... A terrible villain has done this to me, and I fear for my death. I'm running out of air, you see.
I know what you're thinking: a man who was buried alive must truly deserve his fate. Well, children... I don't. It was a conspiracy against me. An evil plot to release an epidemic on this world.
Sound ridiculous? Perhaps, but it is also the truth, I swear to you. I was only trying to save the world. With me six feet under, it doubtlessly still needs saving.
