History
ADAM was a chemical substance that was present within Sea Slugs on Earth. During the construction of Rapture, dock workers were beaten by a slug that healed their long-crippled hands leading to the discovery by Brigid Tenenbaum.
Overview
In appearance, ADAM was a viscous, green liquid in its raw form that was harvested from a special type of Sea Slug. It was then processed and refined into a usable product creating a serum known as a Plasmid that was capable of altering genetic material. Plasmids were then configured to create special body tissue that granted access to abilities and functions that would not normally be present in the human body.
ADAM did this by supporting the formation of potent stem cells that had the ability to differentiate into any cell type, including a variety of unnatural ones. This type of cell formation was compared to a benign form of cancer as the chemical slowly destroyed native tissue cells and replaced them with unstable stem versions. This very instability was the source of the chemicals amazing properties but also caused cosmetic and mental damage.
