Adam

Adam is a fictional character in the television series Buffy the Vampire Slayer, played by George Hertzberg.

Originally a fallen agent of the Initiative, Adam was a creation of Maggie Walsh of The Initiative. He was part human, part demon and part robot, and was to be the perfect organism, with the adaptability and intelligence of humans and the strength and lack of emotions of demons. He was created in Lab 314, and his first act was to kill Maggie with a retractable stabbing weapon inside one of his arms. He killed children and demons, in order to get an understanding of biology, and had a considerable intelligence.

Quotes
I've been thinking. About vampires. You fear death. Being immortal, you fear it more than those to whom it comes naturally. Vampires are a paradox. Demon in a human body. You walk in both worlds and belong to neither. I can relate.

Trivia

 * Adam shares many similarities with the Shadowfist Collectable Card Game (CCG) character Homo Omega. Both were created by mad scientists attempting to create super soldiers out of cybernetic human-demon hybrids. Both turned against their creators in order to destroy humanity and create a new race of hybrids. Both have magically morphing machinegun arms. Homo Omega was created in 1996.
 * Like many characters, themes, or situations on Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Adam is inspired by other, earlier sources. His origin and nature can be traced both to Mary Shelley's Frankenstein and to the cyborg in the film Terminator, starring Arnold Schwarzenegger.
