10 Worst Buffy The Vampire Slayer Villains
3. Adam (Season 4)
Every Buffy season features a central villain known as the Big Bad. For the most part, these villains are highly entertaining – the Master, Angelus, the Mayor, Glory, and the First Evil are all classic antagonists. But in Season 4, the makers of the show made a major blunder: Adam.
This bio-mechanical demonoid was created by Maggie Walsh down in the Initiative. Then, after killing his creator, Adam tries to take down the Scooby Gang and create an army of bio-mechanical demonoids just like him.
Though Adam is a powerful specimen, he’s let down by an awful design. There’s just no getting away from the fact he looks like a leftover villain from Power Rangers. The mishmash of cyborg, human, and demon looks horrible – it’s so bad that it’s almost funny.
Adam’s personality isn’t exactly riveting, either. He talks in a low, monotonous voice and rarely varies his pronunciation. Even when he’s talking about something integral to the plot, it’s easy to switch off.
Whilst Adam isn’t the worst villain in the show, he’s definitely the most disappointing one, and he looks particularly pathetic when compared to the other Big Bads.
