Commander Adam Malkovich

Adam Malkovich, who first appeared in Metroid Fusion, used to be Samus Aran's Commanding Officer when she was with the Federation Police. It is not known what happened in this time period, but some fans speculate that Samus was in love with Adam. However, Adam died to save her life, which drove Samus to forgo the military and become a bounty hunter.

At the beginning of Metroid Fusion, Samus christens her computer CO as "Adam", who helps Samus along her mission. When Adam informs Samus that the Galactic Federation would soon be landing aboard the BSL Space Station and trying to capture the SA-X to use it for military purposes, Samus questions her orders and accidentally calls the computer Adam. Then the computer reveals that he is in fact Adam Malkovich's computerized mind uploaded into a computer after his death, and helps plan with Samus how to rid the galaxy of the X. They figure out a plan and send the space station crashing into SR-388, to insinerate the X once and for all.
