** Adams' powers are due to after-market addons to his PoweredArmor. Due to a serious error in the computer, Adam is forced to run a full system reset. Afterwards, the armor no longer recognizes the new components due to a lack of drivers, and so they work in a minimal capacity (if at all). Adam can't reinstall the drivers either due to not having backups that weren't corrupted by the system error.
