Powers:
Adam of I, Frankenstein is very different than the Hollywood portrayals to date, and as such, has a far greater amount of durability and resistances than normally encountered. In addition to his physical fortitude, Adam had many unusual properties due to in large part how he was created:

Surgical Composite:
Adam was created from the part of dead-men and brought to life through electricity and bio-chemical means. As such, Adam is no longer considered ‘human’(If he ever was), and although has many features akin to the undead, is not undead nor can be affected by such things that would do so. Adam’s abilities as portrayed in the Kevin Grevioux graphic novel and movie include:

• Inhuman Endurance: Adam’s Endurance goes beyond the simple upper-limits of humanity, allowing him to stand toe-to-toe with both Gargoyles and demons without flinching. Several times in the movie both sides comment on Adam’s nearly limitless superhuman endurance. In addition, Adam doesn’t seem to need to rest in a traditional means, and ignores any damage under Ex (20) as it simply doesn’t faze him. Adam’s inhuman Endurance also allows him to recover Endurance Ranks at the rate of 1 per 3 rounds, including mystical effects. Adam also can only be stunned on an effective Red feat Vs. Rm (30) or higher intensity. Finally, Adam is able to regenerate health as if he had Rm (30) regeneration, although he must have the wounds closed and/or bones reset to fully recover use and such.
• Stubborn Willpower: Adam can push through most effects that would require a direct Psyche FEAT, ignoring their effects if they are Ex (20) or less. This does not mean that Adam is not affected by damage or such, it simply means he can ignore effects accordingly. Case in point: Adam can resist most illusions and attempts to sway his will through non-normal means, and does so to both an archangel appointed agent and an elder demon, to their face. Adam can mitigate certain damage akin to Iron Will through simply being stubborn about it. (Treat as Iron Will at Ex (20) in some cases, Judge’s call).
• Immunity: Adam is immune to making checks vs. Death. One of the reasons that Adam is sought after throughout the graphic novel and movie is that in effect, it is suggested that Adam is immortal.

Equipment:
Battle Staves:Adam utilizes two staves that were given to him early on by gargoyles to protect himself. These twin staves require Ex (20) strength or better to wield effectively, are made of blessed wood and have quiet magics upon them to do additional damage to demons and hell-spawn creatures. The staves are considered to be made of In (40) material, and do an additional +2cs damage to demons. Adam is incredibly versed in their use (Hence weapon specialist), and can conceal them on his person requiring a Gd (10) check or better to notice them.

Contacts:
Adam’s reputation is such that Adam has no real contacts. The few people that have attempted to help Adam in the past would perhaps do so, but not at Adam’s request – Adam is alone in the world for the most part and cannot draw on any contacts.

Limitations:
As Frankenstein’s creation, Adam was built to last…but he has several key limitations:

• Unnatural Presence: Adam is considered to be an unnatural creature, and as such, creates an aura of ‘wrongness’ about him. Those who encounter Adam may first ignore him, but will quickly feel something is wrong. Anyone with Intuition with Gd(10) or better will feel something uneasy at first, and something to avoided. Supernatural creatures and those with Intuitions above Gd(10) can ignore this feeling, but normal humans will not, and it will be difficult for them to shake it. This creates a -2cs for all social encounters with Adam that last more than a turn.
• Unusual Looks: Although his scars have faded with time, Adam is clearly scarred, creating a -1cs to social interaction (That makes it a -3cs with above limitation), as well as making him recognizable.
• Infamous: Nearly all supernatural creatures know about Adam, and as such, he is considered both infamous and highly sought after. Rumor of Adam’s location may create social shockwaves in the supernatural community, hence the negative popularity.
• Hunted: Adam is being sought actively by demons who seek to understand his creation in the hopes of recreating the process for their own ends. In addition, the forces of Heaven also want Adam to end the potential threat his existence could provide if his nature is uncovered.
• Soulless (No longer active): Prior to the events of the movie I, Frankenstein, Adam was considered to be without a soul and could be possessed by a free spirit (indeed, that was exactly what the demonic forces wanted). This limitation is no longer in effect after the events of the movie.
