(as Adam) the Bible;
    <Comics> Bible Tales For Young Folk#1 (August, 1953);
    <Marvel Comics> Vampire Tales#4 (April 1974);
(as Spyros) Marvel Spotlight I#17 (September, 1974)

Powers/Abilities: Adam possesses an unrevealed degree of mystical powers. He has some resistance against Hellfire, and appears to be superhumanly strong. He could create portals to travel vast distances and forcibly enhance the powers of a Spirit of Vengeance. While possessing the Man-Thing, he could open portals in space/time, transform the Man-Thing into different form, and presumably much more. It is unknown how much of this power was within K'ad-Mon and how much was drawn from the Staff of the Creator.

    As Spyros he wielded a giant axe as a weapon.

After his re-emergence on Earth he wielded a Hellfire shotgun.

History:
Not all of the information fits 100% with established Marvel Chronology, so take it with a grain of salt (or let me know if you can figure out how to put it all together).

(Biblical Legend Genesis 1:27-2:20/Bible Tales For Young Folk#1) - Adam was the first man created by God on the "sixth day" of creation.

(Strange Tales IV#2 (fb) - BTS / 4 (fb) - BTS) <According to Termineus> - An ancient creator being tired of creation and drew it back into itself, ending all existence. Eventually, after a timeless time, the creator again developed the inevitable whim, the urge, the desire to know itself and to express itself into all reality. The creator's dreams (of darkness and light, love and hate, male and female, life and death, etc.) were given form via the creator's staff. The Fallen Stars were born; living beings--each one the embodiment of one of the creator's thoughts and/or feelings. Each one unique in the role it would play in the drama of creation. The Fallen Stars took shape and fell from the sky through the void of the universe, in the process creating planets, galaxies, etc.
    The creator hurled its staff into the boiling heart of Earth, forming the first land, from which was born the first woman: Cleito...mother of all things. From Cleito's loins sprang the first man, her perfect mate--yet in all ways her opposite. He was Adam K'ad-Mon, first Man of Lineage. It was K'ad-Mon's duty to maintain the dream of reality; without him everything would dissolve, dissipate, into mist and shadow, dreamstuff and fading memory. All others would follow Cleito, embracing and exulting in the creator's majestic illusion. Only the Man of Lineage would bear the burden of truth.
    The place where Cleito and K'ad-Mon were born became the Nexus of Reality, the focal point of the dream, where every universe, every parallel, and intersecting fancy came together.

(Biblical Legend Genesis 1:27-2:20/Bible Tales For Young Folk#1) - God placed Adam within the paradise of the Garden of Eden, and granted him dominion over all the creatures he had created. However, there was no one among the animals who could be a suitable companion for Adam.

(Jewish Legend / Vampire Tales#4/6) - Lilith was the first wife of Adam, but she ultimately left him, refusing to accept his sexism, despite the pleas of the three angels, Sanvi, Sansanvi, and Semangeleaf. The angels slaughtered the children she had with Adam. As a result, Lilith changed, became vampiric, and tried to kill Adam's children by Eve. The angel's banished her, and afterwards, people used their names on amulets against Lilith.

(Genesis 2:21-3:24/Bible Tales For Young Folk#1) - God created Eve from one of Adam's ribs so that he would have a companion, and for a time, they were happy, until Satan tempted Eve to eat the fruit of the Tree of Knowledge, which God had forbidden. Adam followed Eve into temptation, and they were cast out of Eden into the wilderness.

(Genesis 4:1-4:26/Bible Tales for Young People#5) - Adam fathered Cain, Abel and Seth with Eve. Cain murdered Abel, becoming the first human murderer, and was banished by God.

(Genesis 5:1-5:5/Bible Tales For Young Folk#1) - Seth was born to Eve after Cain's banishment. Adam and Eve raised a large family, and Adam's mortal form finally died at the age of 930.

(Hellstorm: Prince of Lies#20/2 (fb) - BTS) - The hide of the first man on Earth was magically preserved and used to protect a book, the Fur Bible (or Fur Journal), which would later come into the possession of the Devil-Breaker Stephen Loss, who would transcribe into it the forbidden knowledge from the worst and most dangerous of the mystic texts of which he came into possession. Loss burned the original volume.

(Strange Tales IV#2 (fb) - BTS) - Down through the ages the Lineage continued, each descendant of Adam was initiated into the mysteries, accepting his role as keeper of the dream. However, as time passed, the Men of Lineage fell deeper into the illusion, forgetting who they were and what their role was.

(Marvel Spotlight I#17 (fb ) - BTS) - After his death, Adam was made to guard the Primal Matrix (a manifestation of the Nexus?), as both a reward and condemnation for what he had done in life. Wearing a mask to cover his scarred visage, Adam took the name Spyros.

(Marvel Spotlight I#17) - To halt a global catastrophe caused by the demon Kometes which threatened to destroy the Earth, Daimon Hellstrom was brought to the Primal Matrix by the Atlantean sorceress Zhered-Na, to use its power. Spyros fought Hellstrom to prevent him from using the Matrix's power, as none but he was allowed to access the Matrix. Spyros hated Hellstrom, recognizing him as Marduk's son, but Hellstrom observed that while his father might have tempted him, Adam had made the choice to disobey himself. Spyros hurled his axe at Hellstrom, but just then, Hellstrom threw off his aim with a blast of Hellfire. The axe missed and instead struck Kometes, slaying the demon. With Kometes dead, the danger was past, and Hellstrom departed the Matrix with Zhered-Na. Spyros was unable to pursue him, as he was bound to the Matrix.

(Man-Thing III#3 (fb) - BTS) - At some point, for reasons unknown, K'ad-Mon was imprisoned within the Staff of the Creator, which was buried deep within the Earth.

(Strange Tales IV#2 (fb) - BTS) - It became more difficult for the Fallen Stars whose role it was to guide the Men of Lineage out of sleep to awaken the sons of K'ad-Mon to their destiny. At last one man turned away from the stars, unable to see their glory, unable to see anything but the illusion; that man was Ted Sallis.

(Man-Thing III#3 (fb) - BTS) - For unknown reasons, the Fallen Star Termineus, who sought to bring about the end of all reality, retrieved the Staff of the Creator from the bowels of the Earth.

(Man-Thing III#3) - Termineus appeared to Ellen Brandt in the swamp on Christmas Eve, giving her the Staff of the Creator, which contained the essence of K'ad-Mon. Via the Staff, K'ad-Mon spoke to Ellen, transporting her and the Man-Thing to the crater which had formerly been the home of Rosewell Sanitarium, which had been transported extradimensionally.

(Man-Thing III#4) - From the Staff of the Creator, K'ad-Mon's energies called to the Man-Thing, briefly transferring its sentient spirit into him, transporting Ellen and the Man-Thing traveled to Rosewell. However, one of the inmates, Eric Simon Payne (Devil-Slayer) then lashed out at the Man-Thing, ripping him to shreds, causing a powerful energy backlash as he interacted with K'ad-Mon's energies.

(Man-Thing III#5 - BTS) - Rosewell returned to Earth, and Payne and the Man-Thing were re-formed, in the process removing the Nexus fragment from within Payne. Termineus then appeared and tried to claim the Nexus fragment, only to have Sorrow snatch the fragment, transform it into a necklace, and place it around Ellen's neck. Termineus then taunted Ellen with an illusion of a happy, normal life with Ted and Job, only to steal Job away, and leave her to curse at the Man-Thing's side. Seconds later, back in the swamp and holding the Staff of the Creator, they were confronted by Mahapralaya and the Cult of Entropy, who held Howard the Duck captive.

(Man-Thing III#6 - BTS) - Ellen took the Staff of the Creator and fled deep into the swamp, encountering Evenor. Meanwhile, the Man-Thing defeated the cult and removed the Nexus fragment from within Howard the Duck.

(Man-Thing III#7) - Using the Nexus fragment, the Man-Thing summoned the Staff of the Creator, allowing K'ad-Mon to possess him once again. He then transported himself and Namor to the ancient Atlantean City of the Golden Gate. There they learned that the next Nexus fragment was contained within the Shroud of Cleito, former wife of Neptune. However, as the Shroud was sacred to Atlantis, both Namor and Evenor forbade desecrating the Shroud; when K'ad-Mon/Man-Thing tried to challenge Evenor, the ancient god transformed him back into the powerless Ted Sallis.

(Man-Thing III#8) - Briefly reunited with Ellen, Ted heeded the call of the Staff/K'ad-Mon, using its song to transport them into the distant past, where they obtained the Nexus fragment (which spanned the entire length of time) from Cleito prior to her death. As they headed off on their next mission, to a distant planet in the modern era, Ted transformed back into the Man-Thing, and then was possessed by K'ad-Mon, who commanded her silence.

(Strange Tales IV#1) - On the distant planet, they found that the Nexus fragment had brought life to the previously desolate world. The Silver Surfer tried to stop them from taking the Nexus and condemning the planet's race to death. As the Surfer fought the K'ad-Mon-possessed Man-Thing, Ellen tore the Nexus fragment from its moorings, destroying the race of beings in order to save all of Reality.

(Strange Tales IV#2) - Ellen and the K'ad-Mon-possessed Man-Thing returned to the swamp, where they found Jack and Gwyneth Burke and Sheriff Donald Fillmore, who had just been confronted by Mr. Termineus, who had trained Job Burke as his apprentice. As K'ad-Mon confronted Termineus, Job briefly blinked Ellen out of existence, then appeared to accept her as his long-lost mother, only to steal the Nexus fragment containing necklace from her when she embraced him. However, Job refused to give the necklace to Termineus until he explained Job's role in all of this. After Termineus did so, he revealed his mission to have Job destroy all creation, at which point Sorrow and Devil-Slayer arrived, having gathered the other Fallen Stars and promising to stop Termineus (who was certain they would fail).

(Strange Tales IV#3) - K'ad-Mon remade Ted Sallis, separating him from the Man-Thing. Termineus and K'ad-Mon spoke, discussing that Ellen's love for Ted was preordained by the creator being, to strengthen Ted's spirit with love, and to guide him along the path that would force him to return to his abandoned role as the Nexus Guardian. K'ad-Mon prepared to claim the necklace containing the Nexus fragments from Job, when Termineus' agent Owen Jackson slew Job and gave the necklace to Termineus, who used it to extinguish all reality.

(Strange Tales IV#4) - After all planes of reality were consumed, there was only a Sea of Nothingness, containing only five figures: Ted Sallis, Ellen Brandt, the deceased Job Burke, the exhausted Termineus, and Sorrow. Ted's nature as the Man of Lineage (combined with his love for Ellen) allowed him to briefly maintain the dream of existence. Ellen argued against Termineus, hoping to strengthen Ted's resolve to restore existence, but as his strength faded, she was the first to vanish.
    However, Ted then realized that if life were but a dream, then so is death, and he restored Job to life. Job combined his will and power with Ted Sallis, becoming the Love that formed the Whim that formed Creation, and they restored all reality to existence. Ted Sallis became the Nexus, while he then returned Job to his parents, who left, to forget all that had happened...for now.

(Strange Tales IV#4 / Peter Parker: Spider-Man Annual 1999 (fb) - BTS) - Back in the swamp, K'ad-Mon, retaining full control of the Man-Thing, fulfilled Ellen's wishes, sending her to merge with Ted within the Nexus, the two of them actually becoming the Nexus itself.

(Strange Tales IV#4) - K'ad-Mon approached Termineus, offering him understanding of his actions, "...you, the Destroyer of the dream, love it more than any creature in all the universes. Why else would you have released me from imprisonment...given the Staff to the Mother of the Dream?"
    After a moment of contemplation, Termineus looked up at K'ad-Mon, sneered at him, and said, "F@$% you." Termineus then sank beneath the Earth. K'ad-Mon walked deeper and deeper into the mists of the swamp.

(Peter Parker: Spider-Man Annual 1999) - The ancient creature known as the Scrier obliterated the Man-Thing's form and usurped the power of the Staff of the Creator. Ted left the Nexus to help K'ad-Mon against the Scrier, who sought to usurp the power of the Nexus for himself. K'ad-Mon's spirit survived within the swamp and convinced Sallis to become the Man-Thing anew in order to oppose Scrier. Meanwhile, Scrier, having manipulated events so that Ellen would be left alone in the Nexus, sent his agent Outrider to attack her and steal the Nexus for Scrier. Combined within the form of the Man-Thing, K'ad-Mon and Sallis recruited Spider-Man to defend Ellen and the Nexus.
    Meanwhile, the Man-Thing, backed by the power of the Fallen Stars, confronted Scrier. With their powers so evenly matched that any confrontation threatened to destroy the world that he sought to save, K'ad-Mon agreed to Scrier's challenge that they would allow their champions to decide the fate of the Nexus: If Spider-Man won, the power of the Staff would be returned to K'ad-Mon, and Scrier would make no further strikes against the Nexus; if the Outrider won, Scrier would gain the Nexus and use it to re-write reality as he saw fit. Spider-Man was occupied by transportation into an alternate reality, allowing the Outrider to overpower Ellen and enter the Nexus. Escaping back to the Nexus at the last second, Spider-Man leapt into its core and struggled against the Outrider directly. In the course of the struggle, Ellen began to fade out of existence, but she then listened to a voice, more familiar than her own, and she fell down to Earth, taking the Nexus with her, and merging it and herself with Ted Sallis within the Man-Thing's form.
    Scrier was furious at this seeming betrayal, but Sallis explained that while K'ad-Mon had given his word, while he (Sallis) had not. Claiming that perhaps his goal had actually been to cause them to merge with the Nexus and the Man-Thing, Scrier vanished. The Man-Thing, holding the re-powered Staff of the Creator, looked in on Peter Parker before vanishing in a mystic vortex.

(Personal communication with J.M. DeMatteis) - K'ad-Mon remained within the form of the Man-Thing, along with the essences of Ted and Ellen, and the Nexus.

(Incredible Hulk III#6 (fb)) - The composite Ellen/Ted/Nexus/Man-Thing (possibly containing K'ad-Mon as well) departed Earth for a reality beyond, perhaps transforming into the Nexus itself. The energies of the swamp re-created the Man-Thing in its original form.

(Personal communication with J.M. DeMatteis) - The composite being continued on, fully anchoring itself as the Nexus of Realities.

(Ghost Rider VII#0.1 - BTS) - Adam was apparently recreated in his original, unscathed human form... (see comments)

(Ghost Rider VII#4 (fb) - BTS) - <At least 18 years before Ghost Rider VII#0.1> The shame and guilt over creating sin finally became too much for Adam and he decided to take matters into his own hands to purge sin from humanity. (see comments)

(Ghost Rider VII#1 (fb) - BTS) - Adam took control over a temple in Nicaragua.

(Ghost Rider VII#2 (fb) - BTS) - Adam collected babies and children and had them raised at the temple, where they were indoctrinated for decades and kept away from the outside world.

(Ghost Rider VII#1-2 (fb) - BTS) - The young men and women were trained to become the perfect hosts for a Spirit of Vengeance.

(Ghost Rider VII#0.1) - <Present day> Adam approached a heavily drunk Johnny Blaze in a bar somewhere in Mexico and offered him a chance to get rid of his Ghost Rider powers. Blaze saw footage on TV of an attack on the White House and Adam explained that this was part of the Serpent (Cul)'s attack on Earth. He asked Blaze to trust him, bu Blaze declined his offer because the innocent needed him now. Blaze went outside to protect a woman from local criminals, but got beaten up by one of them. Adam just watched it happen.

   The next day Blaze woke up in the home of the woman he saved last night, but he freaked out and drove off as Ghost Rider. He soon powered down in the middle of a desert and called out for Adam to take his offer. Adam teleported in, then teleported them both to the top of a skyscraper in Los Angeles. There Adam explained the Ghost Rider would leave Blaze's body and attach itself to a new host Blaze didn't know, but Blaze would finally be free. As part of the ritual to remove the Ghost Rider from Blaze Adam gave him a tree root to swallow. Adam revealed how he wanted to save the world and give humanity a new start without sin, which he needed the Ghost Rider for. He then explained what Blaze had to do to rid himself of the Ghost Rider. He just had to drive as fast as possible to rip the Ghost Rider from his bones. It worked and the Spirit of Vengeance (Zarathos) possessing Blaze was ripped from his body. Adam was glad Blaze wasn't the Ghost Rider anymore because now he could start his war on sin with a new Ghost Rider.

(Ghost Rider VII#1 (fb) ) <One hour before the battle in Dayton> - Adam arrived in his Nicaraguan temple with the chain Blaze's former Spirit of Vengeance was attached to and a mystic handle. Adam resurrected a man serving as the Seeker, then handed the chain over to him and presented all the Ghost Riders-in-training to him. Adam watched as the Seeker went through the lines of warriors until Alejandra grabbed the chain behind Seeker's back and was chosen by the Spirit of Vengeance to become the new Ghost Rider, transforming on the spot. Adam watched as the Seeker gave her the mystic handle. A portal opened and the Seeker and Ghost Rider (Alejandra) stepped through to deal with Skadi.

(Ghost Rider VII#1) - From afar Adam watched the new Ghost Rider (Alejandra) battle the Serpent's general Skadi (Sinthea Shmidt) in Dayton, Ohio. He hoped she would survive this battle, but couldn't help her because she had to learn how to fight her own war.

(Ghost Rider VII#2 - BTS) - Mephisto showed Blaze how Adam planned to remove all sin from humanity, which would turn them into cold, emotionless beings. He asked Blaze for help to save the new host of the Ghost Rider, who was an innocent herself, from Adam.

(Ghost Rider VII#2) - Adam welcomed back Ghost Rider after her "victorious" battle with Skadi. He asked Alejandra to judge her fellow students and rip all their sins from them, which the Seeker was opposed to. Adam ordered the Seeker to be shot, then asked Alejandra again to wage war on sin as she was trained to do. Alejandra transformed into the Ghost Rider and asked her fellow students who most deserved vengeance in this room. Adam slapped her for even asking and she attacked him instead of her fellow students. Adam returned the favor and used his powers to force his ungrateful student to do his bidding. He grabbed Ghost Rider by her head and she lost control over herself, becoming the weapon Adam wanted her to be. Blaze arrived at the temple and shot Adam through the shoulder with a Hellfire shotgun. While Adam was still recuperating the new Ghost Rider destroyed Mephisto's Servicer demon and then turned her attention to Blaze.

(Ghost Rider VII#3) - The Seeker saved Blaze from Ghost Rider's attack and tried to explain to her how she was used by Adam, who was back on his feet again and telling the others how Alejandra was shown her true potential by him because he knew sin more than anybody else because he was present when sin was created. Adam grabbed Ghost Rider by her head again and augmented her powers until they exploded like a spiritual bomb. Blaze and the Seeker escaped the temple, but everybody else within it was left in a catatonic state when sin was ripped from their bodies by the chains erupting from the Ghost Rider's body. Adam was proud and vowed to find something bigger for her to deal with. A nearby village was hit by the sin-eradicating shockwave caused by Ghost Rider and the people living there were left in a catatonic state as well. Johnny Blaze was shielded by the Seeker.

   Adam teleported Ghost Rider to Cape Canaveral where she removed sin from the soldiers protecting the area. Adam promised they would save humanity from sin together and took her to a space shuttle ready for takeoff.

(Ghost Rider VII#4 (fb) - BTS) - Adam and Ghost Rider arrived on a space station used to capture images of distant galaxies. On Adam's order Ghost Rider purged sin from the space shuttle's astronauts.

(Ghost Rider VII#4) - Adam explained what the space station was used for and how they would use it's telescopic lens to focus Ghost Rider's powers straight down onto Earth to purge sin from all of humanity. While Ghost Rider was standing on the lens Adam enhanced her powers once again while telling her that even if humanity survived the war with the Serpent (Cul) sin was too strong in them and needed to be purged. He revealed how he had been there when sin was created and became its first sacrifice and had suffered for it since then.

   When Johnny Blaze arrived on the space station on a space bike given to him by Mephisto he tried to stop Ghost Rider, but was shot in the back with a Hellfire shotgun by Adam. He was not of the opinion that the free will given to humans by God was a good thing because it allowed him to create all sin out of curiosity. To this day Adam felt God had conned him into becoming the original sin. He revealed how he couldn't take it anymore and trained children to finally purge humanity from sin as Ghost Rider. When Ghost Rider (Alejandra) heard that she stopped focusing her powers through the lens, switched her attention to Adam and attacked him for being the original sin and just trying to make amends for his past misdeeds. She blew up the space station and rode with Blaze back to Earth.

(Ghost Rider VII#9 (fb) - BTS) - Adam survived the explosion of the space station and re-entry to Earth, though it left his body in a heavily scarred state.

(Ghost Rider VII#7 (fb) - BTS) - Adam hired Steel Wind to take revenge on Ghost Rider (Alejandra).

(Ghost Rider VII#7) - Adam and Steel Wind went to Steel Vengeance's grave at a cemetery in Tokyo. Adam promised Steel Wind her sister Steel Vengeance would still be the same when brought back to life or at least she would still want the same she wanted during life. Steel Wind wanted vengeance on Blaze, but Adam told her the new Ghost Rider was their target and Blaze wasn't the Ghost Rider anymore. Steel Wind promised to kill whoever Adam wanted her to if he brought her sister back to life, but Adam only asked her to bring Ghost Rider back to him alive because he still needed her and was too weak in his current state to face her on his own. Adam then brought Steel Vengeance back to "life", but Steel Wind noticed how different her decomposed sister looked.

(Ghost Rider VII#7 - BTS) - Adam used a spell to create a portal to bring Ghost Rider directly to Steel Wind and Steel Vengeance. For unknown reasons the spell also delivered Johnny Blaze to the Steel sisters. Steel Wind eventually decided to break her deal with Adam because her sister Steel Vengeance was obviously just a corpse piloted by her cyborg parts. Steel Wind and Steel Vengeance let Ghost Rider (Alejandra) go free and went after Blaze instead. (Alejandra returned and saved Blaze and Hawkeye, who was on the hunt for Ghost Rider as well, from the Steel sisters in #8)

(Venom II#13.3 - BTS) - Mephisto tricked Alejandra to believe Adam was actually a disguise of his son Blackheart.

(Ghost Rider VII#9) - Ghost Rider (Alejandra) found the Seeker at a strip club, cut off his head and demanded from him to give her the power to assault Mephisto's domain. Though he was unable to grant her the power he reminded her Adam already did that before in Nicaragua. According to Seeker Adam had survived the space station's explosion and re-entry into Earth's atmosphere. Though it left Adam scarred it wasn't that easy to kill the first man of Bible fame. The Seeker also revealed how it was Adam who had recently teleported Ghost Rider to Japan and that she could find him by following the vortex from there back to its source.

   Ghost Rider followed the energies to find Adam, then took him to the top of a skyscraper and demanded from him to enhance her powers so she could attack Hell. Adam happily agreed to her demands because this was the kind of holy battle she had raised Alejandra to fight. Adam augmented Ghost Rider's powers once again and proudly sent her off to wage war on Mephisto's Hell.
