First nail in the coffin of crap this series became..

[@MIGHTYBOOSCH198]

Always annoyed me that they killed off Adam, one of the most entertaining bad guys and all we got in return was generic henchmen.

[@LightSourceTemple]

Not only was Adam an awesome character that they underutilized. Arthur was a trash villain who's motives were unclear and just kind did whatever the writers felt like doing at the time

[@EmmieAnnelise-xs5ru]

Yeah such a disappointment :(

And before people asked why did he turn to dust. It’s simple he was hundreds maybe even thousands of years old. He had outlived his life expectancy. The moment his powers where gone, so was his ability to regenerate new cells to stay alive I wonder if he would have turned to dust during the eclipse as well 🤔

[@PoochieTheDog]

Adam Monroe used his blood to heal Nathan’s burns & Claire’s blood healed her dad’s eye along with bringing him back from the dead. Essentially, what I’m getting at is Arthur only needed Adam’s blood to heal himself. Later Arthur steals all of Peter’s powers so he would of recieved the healing abilities anyways.

@@PoochieTheDog That revival was absolutely terrible. It makes me think Kring just fluked the first season's brilliance. Everything since was a pile of poop

[@rickmarr8784]

Arthur wanted Adams abilities since it made him practically immortal. This would allow him to survive most attacks against him.

[@EmoChipmonkVOD]

@@rickmarr8784 Exactly while he knew he would pick up peters abilities later theres no telling if anything would have happened to him before hand. Some unknown complication or attack on him. If the only power be stole was Adams then at least hes still invulnerable and almost immortal.

[@chrispeplinski7306]

I hated when Adam was killed off

[@EmmieAnnelise-xs5ru]

[@nicholasepsilon3534]

....Claire dies in Heroes Reborn the same way Adam dies... Albeit in a less ashes to ashes kinda way..

[@OpenGL4ever]

That was the most horrible scene in the whole Heroes series.

[@quinnquintillus2925]

Realistically Adam wouldn't have turned into dust. His power wasn't like some magical glue keeping him together, it was regenerating his cells, he didn't age because his cells were being regenerated constantly. If he lost his power, that would be it, he just wouldn't be able to heal anymore.

[@porkchump]

Quinn Quintillus no, it was explained his cells have regenerated so many times that they are now dying and regenerating in equilibrium, therefore halting his aging which was the only thing keeping him alive.

[@TheDistractingGamer]

It really was fucking bullshit. He was my favourite character.

[@Masonicon]

This was not nearly as bad as Arthur Petrelli powerdrains Hiro Nakamura(which killed Heroes tv show for me personally)

[@j.ronnygibson]

[@bobtony6036]

why would arthur not take his powers decades earlier? terrible writing after s2

[@X23SSaviourGundam]

Considering je just needs Adam's blood to heal then was gonna getbthe healing factor from Nathan anyway, this was a stupid way to kill Adam

[@fredericf832]

Blood would only be a temporary solution, and he would have to keep on getting fed Adam's blood. Stealing his power makes way more sense from an evil guy perspective. Since Adam lost his power, he died instantly since his cell were 400 years old and mostly dead.

[@ulysses4989]

@@fredericf832 Well not quite. Claire brought her step father back from the dead after a bullet to the head. He would have aged as normal

[@mariopierre19]

This when it went downhill

[@rickmarr8784]

For a guy who can't die he seriously lack any sort of fighting skills.

[@VAOdin]

Plus when he was trying to become Takedo Kensei, he stormed a castle by himself and killed everyone there. He should've known how to fight.

[@semari1949]

I wonder if Tommy absorbed empathic mimicry from Peter he wouldn’t have to worry about losing another power

[@junemoon1486]

I don't understand why he aged so rapidly and died. Adam does not "freeze" his age by time manipulating, he doesn't age because he can recover the damage from cell division. Funny thing is, Adam would be dead after he loses his ability, even if he is not 400 years old. He borns with the ability, which made him immune to every disease. So he literally doesn't have any antibody or resistance to virus in normal way, which means he would be dead by infection without his ability. Claire did die this way in season 3. This aging scene was not necessary at all.

[@HighCHD]

It’s explained that Adam has become so old that his cells are dying and regenerating in equilibrium, which halted his aging and keeping him alive.

[@DesignIncase]

He wouldn't die instantly and in a hospital they could work to boost his immune system. So for the purpose of the scene, they wanted him dead on the spot to show he had his powers removed.

[@CarecaDeCapa420]

adam got his powers from the eclipse not from birth

[@damiandavis612]

[@EmmieAnnelise-xs5ru]

Omg I was just thinking that :)

[@Stephaniepage-ee3cw]

Is it possible that Claire direct descendants from Adam?

[@DesignIncase]

Given Claire's lineage nothing really demonstrates that. Her father can fly. Her mother can start fires. Her grandmother on one side has empathic dreams while her Grandfather steals powers. Doesn't seem to be a trace of healers in the family. But it's probably a more common power then not.

[@invictus6176]

[@lelan7754]

I watched from the Pilot to the last episode just to see it through. Started off so promising but the end sucked. Still mad about it all these years. People want to blame the writers strike as the turning point to crap but it started when they gave Sylar mommy issues and it just got worse.
