Adam's helmet



Adam Malkovich's helmet is the headgear that the Galactic Federation commander wears when in his battle armor. His helmet is identical to that of his soldiers, as it is blue in color, with an 07 logo on the forehead and the nape of the neck, and red emblems on the sides, as well as a yellow visor that can be lifted up.

At the beginning of Metroid: Other M, Adam can be seen wearing the helmet like the rest of his team. However, as he briefs the group, he can be seen with it off. He took it off and left it beside his communication device as he briefed the team. When racing to Sector Zero, he left the helmet behind.

If not for the efforts of Samus Aran, Adam's helmet would have been destroyed along with the Bottle Ship. She returned to the space station before it was scheduled to be destroyed, to recover this "something that couldn't be replaced". After fighting her way through new areas, she finally reaches Adam's post, and holds the helmet in a tender moment. During the five-minute Countdown, Samus holds the helmet as she escapes in her Zero Suit. As she reaches her Starship, she turns to the helmet and calls it "Adam", apologizing for leaving it behind earlier.

It is possible that Adam's mind was somehow stored within the helmet, explaining how it was preserved for Metroid Fusion.
