"Adam Kipiniak (Earth-616)" VS "Adam Kane (Earth-704509)"
Adam Kipiniak (Earth-616)
Adam Kipiniak was an Eastern European painter and brother of contract killer Kris Kipiniak. After killing Kris, Madcap captured Adam, tied him into a wheelchair, taped his mouth, and dressed him in a Madcap costume. When Deadpool investigated Kris' murder after being sent his heart in a box by Madcap, he found Adam hidden in a secret room behind a wall in his apartment, and initially though he was Madcap, who had strapped a speaker to Adam's neck and spoke through it to enhance the pretense. Deadpool saw through the trick before stabbing Adam, and unmasked him, later deciding to leave a bomb squad to cut him loose, in case he had also been booby-trapped.

Adam Kane (Earth-704509)
Adam Kane was the former Chief Bio-geneticist at Genomex. He was mentored by Dr. Paul Breedlove and was part of a DNA alteration program that was originally intended to save ill children but ended up giving many of them "new mutant" abilities. Once the program went south, he left and created Mutant X, a team of mutants meant to protect these new mutants from Genomex and Kane's rival, Mason Eckhart. Kane was able to track down and save Emma DeLauro from Genomex's goons with the help of Shalimar Fox and Jesse Kilmartin. After saving her, they brought her back to their secret mountain base, Stormking Mountain. After explaining the creation of new mutant powers to her and offering her a role on the team, she initially refused until she was later chased down again by Genomex and saved by the team.
