Deus Ex Alpha

*YOU WERE WARNED ONCE, JAMES*

So, in every trailer of Deus Ex Human Revolution, there is always some form of symbolism to suggest that Adam is like Icarus (lack of real arms, angel scene in the first reveal teaser, the title track being called 'Icarus', going in to a rocket aimed towards the sun in the third trailer). As such, there is going to be an obvious relation to the AI construct in the first game, Icarus; that's unavoidable.

But seeing as Adam is always related to Icarus, and Icarus was an AI construct created by MJ12, does this mean that Adam in fact estbalished MJ12, in a subtle foreshadowing way?

There must be some relevance to this fact. While it most likely will not be the case, I would just like to call it now and gloat later.

Any one else had a similar idea?

They're throwing you off.

[spoiler]Fans will make these connections but Icarus was not finished until 2052.

If you look closely the entire story about Jensen, the Aug and anti-Aug riots and the formation of UNATCO plot of the game might run much deeper.

Speculation:
I'm sure Daedalus exists at this point of time, I expect an epilogue of Page conspiring to seize Illuminati resources to form MJ12, with inspiration from the guy who changed the world the very day the statue of liberty was bombed.

Fact:
The day UNATCO is formed, the way DXHR ends.[/spoiler]

MJ12 was formed from Bob Page was it not?

100% correct using Illuminati resources.

Yeah, but perhaps inspired by Adam...?

I don't know, it was a long-ass shot.

It definitely is. Just rest assured Adam [spoiler] is likened to Icarus because of his arms being melted/ripped off.[/spoiler]

lol

I would connect him to Icarus the AI, it's just everything is up in the air at the moment.

So you at least see where I'm coming from, right?

HI-OOOOOOHHHHH!

Fucking beautiful.

Of course I do, and yes that was a pun.

Also, about Adam's arms.

[spoiler]He got shot in the head but woke up with robot arms.
Even bigger spoiler:
[spoiler]Okay okay I think they got melted off too by chemicals but I don't want to confirm this.[/spoiler][/spoiler]

You're going to town on that spoiler tag!

It's brilliant. Plus I warned you, unlike you with BARE TEXT
