Grand Unifying Guesses/Bioshock

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


All of the following are derivatives of ADAM-based genetic engineering.

  • Super Soldier Serum
  • Chemical X
  • Dr. Flimflam's Miracle Cream: Just a topical form of gene tonic.
  • Spinach: The stuff looks like it could be made out of sea slugs.
  • Evangelions: They're just heavily-spliced clones of normal humans, with a bit of Angel DNA thrown in for good measure. The LCL in the entry plugs is just a heavily concentrated form of EVE.
  • Promicin
  • The Spice: Like Bioshock's sea slugs, sandworms are also living ADAM factories.
  • The Academy: Psychic powers? Apparent physical combat far outstripping those of unaugmented humans? Blatant insanity? Yup, that's some ADAM.
  • Space Marine Geneseed: No-brainer. Big Daddies are just Space Marine prototypes.
  • Biotics: Eezo is just another form of ADAM. All biotic abilities are simply derivatives of Telekinesis.
  • Metal Gear Solid's Genome Soldiers are just Splicers waiting to happen, which is probably why the Patriots stopped using them after the first game. That, and their massive incompetence.
  • No way the whole combining humans and Daleks plan could have ever worked without huge quantities of ADAM. Which explains how the Doctor's Time Lord DNA really got into the hybrids; he just contaminated the ADAM. No magic lightning involved.
  • Red Flowers: They must be ADAM flowers. And Mimigas have different effects from exposure to it...
  • Phazon
  • The Catalyst
  • Gears from Guilty Gear.
  • Nazi Zombies: The technology used by Dr. Maxis was the original form of ADAM, later revised by Brigid Tenenbaum. The Sea Slugs were used long before by Dr. Maxis, although he did not discover the genetic engineering that could be used on the Sea Slugs in order to create the semi-stable (At least for a short while) ADAM, as he quickly, after discovering the healing process, used them on the dead of the Nazi soldiers. They worked, but the soldiers were unstable and could not properly be restrained. Thus you have Nazi Zombies.
  • Midi-Chlorians.
  • Trilsettum.
  • The Super-Steroid from the 2011 Wonder Woman TV pilot.
