Daredevil: Born Again’s Mysterious Adam Revealed

by

In Marvel’s Daredevil: Born Again, there’s been some intrigue stirred up amongst viewers due to the occasional appearance of a mysterious character named Adam. This enigmatic role is brought to life by an accomplished actor who has previously starred in shows such as Netflix’s You and Apple TV+’s Physical.

As a gamer, I’ve been wondering: Who’s this guy, Adam? What’s his deal with Kingpin, Wilson Fisk? Let me fill you in on everything I’ve learned so far.

Who plays Daredevil: Born Again’s Adam?

Acting talent Lou Taylor Pucci, best known for his role as the tormented indie-lover in the popular series “You” on Netflix, is now part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). He will be portraying the character Adam in the upcoming revival titled “Daredevil: Born Again”.

For those not familiar, he initially garnered recognition with his acclaimed role in Thumbsucker, which brought him praise at Sundance and Berlin Film Festival. Since then, Pucci has been seen in productions like Evil Dead, American Horror Story, You on Netflix, Shameless, and Halt and Catch Fire. In Born Again, Pucci makes his entrance into the Marvel Cinematic Universe as Adam, a character whose arrival disrupts the tenuous bond between Wilson Fisk (Kingpin) and Vanessa.

Why was Wilson Fisk holding Adam captive in Daredevil: Born Again?

In Daredevil: Born Again, Adam’s narrative is deeply intertwined with deception. As Wilson Fisk recuperated from Maya Lopez’s (Echo) gunshot wounds, Vanessa stepped into the leadership role within his criminal organization. It was during this period that she and Adam began a secret relationship. When Fisk uncovers their affair, instead of demanding retribution, Vanessa pleads for Adam’s life. In response, Fisk consents, but his notion of clemency is anything but compassionate.

In Episode 4 of Daredevil: Born Again, it’s unveiled that Fisk has hidden Adam in a secret underground cell. Despite professing to have changed, Fisk’s deeds suggest otherwise. By keeping Adam imprisoned and inflicting cruel treatment upon him, Fisk demonstrates that he hasn’t genuinely given up his violent tendencies. Ultimately, Fisk’s choice to keep Adam alive, although in appalling circumstances, underscores his twisted sense of loyalty towards Vanessa, as he appears to adhere to her wish while simultaneously catering to his sinister impulses.
